Where's My Wallet?



100 wallets were dropped in front of hidden cameras to see who would return the wallets and who would steal them...

Results of the "WalletTest.com" Experiment

It really gets interesting when they break it down by sex, age and race.

Fascinating stuff.

  7. Lol, it really get interesting when they break it down to age and race. But then, I'm not sure their sample was large enough for that survey. Most of the groups were between 10 and 20 people- that's way to little to convince me. But they show a funny trend, though :) Thanks that you posted it. And yay for the women, it looks like we're more honest. That's nice.

    And I say it's fear from crashing, too. Not that it matters. I simply count the seconds/minutes/hours until I'm off.:) Counting is kind of calming... (comment on your comment on my blog)

    No John, it "shows" no such thing.

    It appears that people might become more moral as they age, but even that would need to be validated.

  9. denitsa: I'll have to remember counting. I have used the copious
    amounts of gin & tonic approach myself.

    caz: I agree. There was an excessive amount of conclusion-jumping for such small sample sizes. However, it was still a fun study.

  10. So one out of four people are honest?

    Not bad, I guess.
