====== "Drop It" Experiment ======

By [[daniel-chen| Daniel Chen]]

===== Hypothesis =====

female - female: The woman will look at them but walk away, because it just's a tissue not something heavy.

female - male: The woman will look at them but walk away, because it just's a tissue not something heavy.

male - male: The man will ignore it, I think men are less concerned about their surroundings

===== Discussion =====

In the experiment we can clearly see that women help others more than men do, especially school-age girls—they were the most helpful. Older men were the least helpful, with only one trying to help. I think older people care less about what others think, while younger ones are more concerned. There are also two very different reaction in this experiment, one of the young man jump away from the tissue and one of the girl wants to help but stopped by her boyfriend. In general, the findings support what I believed about how men and women tend to help in various age groups.

The results show that most people just watch without doing anything. Some ignore the actor mostly old people, a few help, mostly women, and very few react rudely.The data indicates that younger individuals are generally more helpful than older ones, and women tend to be more supportive than men. I guess Older people may not help much because of traditions, while younger ones are encouraged to help. Women tend to help more, perhaps because of empathy, and men might feel pressured to show strength. People are different based on their own experiences and beliefs.
