Free Money Week 7

For my video I decided to walk around my apartment complex and ask residents if they would like a dollar. I decided to walk around my apartment complex because with constant inflow of people returning home and heading to library is great. My plan is just to simply offer a dollar and if asked why then I will simply note that my intentions are to help make someones day better by showing a sign of gratitude towards them. My belief that I would give away the money did not go as planned, where as I only got one person to accept the free money. I was somewhat surprised at first, but ultimately I realized that most people were confused by my random act of kindness and the basic instinct was to say thank you but no.

I found it very interesting that you only got one person to accept the money. Every single person in my trials accepted the dollar although it was hesitant. I did my study in the library which is perhaps a more high stress environment. It would be interesting to see if the location of the experiment affect participant responses.

ReplyDeleteHey Patrick,
ReplyDeleteI think your videos were pretty funny, but I think the idea was supposed to make us come up with an excuse to give a dollar to someone. We were supposed to find out a unmet need that involves a dollar and fulfill it. Of course, this was just a fun assignment and check out how I did mine: http://goobirs.blogspot.com/2016/02/free-money-week-7.html
