Topic 9.6
What experimental design could best determine if altruistic acts increase when individuals feel they are being watched?
Survey people about whether they are more likely to help others when someone is watching them.
Have individuals participate in tasks involving opportunities for altruism under conditions where they believe they may be observed versus not observed, and compare rates of altruism across conditions.
Observe the frequency of helping behavior in public places compared to private residences without informing subjects of the study purpose.
Ask participants directly if they behave differently when people are watching them compared to when they're alone.
