Soical Psychology Observation Projects

Social Psychology Observation Research ideas

1.  Money or Happiness?

Set up an experiment where people are given a choice between two flash cards. One with 1 Billion dollars or another with 100 happy healthy years of life guaranteed.

2.  Does eye contact matter?

You and another person ask several people for directions or instructions. One person asks the question while looking away, the other looks into the eyes of the subject intently

3.  Mind power

Ask subjects to predict a card drawn from a deck of cards.

4.  Bystander effect

Observe whether or not people will help when a person drops a pen or a book, etc. Observe and record the number of males vs. females that help.

5.  Design your own social psychology experiment.

Must be approved BEFORE you start the observations.
