Smart Graduate School Applications :: How To Get Started On Anything

Smart Graduate School Applications :: How To Get Started On Anything: "How To Get Started On Anything

There’s an experiment called the “High Bridge Study,” that was conducted in 1974 that led to the Two Factor Theory of Emotion, which is a contemporary theory in social psychology that attempts to explain the link between physiological response and human emotions. The study was setup as follows:

…an attractive female experimenter asked male passersby to complete a brief survey. She intercepted potential subjects either at the end of a bridge or on the bridge itself. The footbridge used was long, narrow, and spanned a deep ravine. Following the survey interview, the experimenter gave the subjects her telephone number in case they had further questions. The dependent variable in this experiment was the number of telephone calls received from the subjects after the experiment."
