Visiting Santa
Two informal enquiries of the emotions of 600 children queued up to meet Santa Claus in shopping malls during the 2003 and 2004 Yuletide seasons suggested that about 80% appeared to be indifferent to seeing Santa. Emotions were estimated using a standard scale of facial expressions. A replication of these studies in 2005 observing another 200 children indicated that this rate declined (to about 60%) the closer was Christmas day. To investigate in…
Honesty When Lighting Votive Candles in Church
An informal 3-yr. follow-up enquiry of a prior study suggested that the use of electrical, rather than wax, candles seemingly is not a variable relevant to peoples' behavior in paying for lighting votive candles in church. Also, the number of people paying apparently continues to decline: now down (from about 30 percent in 2003) to approximately 25 percent

Visiting Santa
Visiting Santa
An informal enquiry of the facial expressions of children as they queued up to meet Santa Claus during the 2003 Yuletide season showed that about 8 out of 10 children appeared to be indifferent to seeing Santa. This replication of the study in 2004 resulted in an approximately similar finding. A repeat of these enquiries, in 2005, suggested that the indifference rate appeared to lessen (being somewhat more cheerful) the closer was Christmas

Following Instructions on a Final Examination
Of a total of 914 undergraduate college students over 5 years 600 (about 66%) were in full compliance with a simple instruction for how to enter their names on their final examination papers; approximately 33% were not. The compliance rate over the years declined from 73% to 59
Visiting Santa
An informal enquiry of the facial expressions of children as they queued up to meet Santa Claus during the 2003 Yuletide season showed that about 82% of the 300 children appeared to be indifferent to seeing Santa. As this finding seemed perhaps different from what conventional wisdom would suggest, that most children would be exhilarated or happy to visit with Santa, this study was replicated in 2004

Disposing of the Empty Shopping Market Cart--an Informal Look
Clearing the Supermarket Shopping Cart
An informal enquiry of the behavior of 500 supermarket shoppers clearing carts of litter prior to entering the store showed that 69% dumped the rubbish into another cart, 26% dropped it on the sidewalk, and 5% deposited it in a trash container

Honesty When Lighting Votive Candles in Church
An informal enquiry conducted over 6 yr. suggested a decline from 92% to 28% of people paying for lighting votive candles in a large Catholic church
Disposing of the Empty Shopping Market Cart—An Informal Look
An informal enquiry suggested that only about one out of five shoppers, when finished using shopping carts, returned them to a designated depository
Visiting Santa
Using a modified six cartoon-face rating scale, employed in the health care field to help judge pain being experienced by young children, the facial expressions of 300 youngsters queued up to visit Santa Claus were observed and rated as showing indifference to the impending visit

Compliance with the Item Limit of the Food Supermarket Express Checkout Lane
A total of 68 15-min. observations of customers' behavior at a food supermarket suggests that only about 7% of shoppers observe the item limit of the express lane. The averages tended to be about four pieces
Students' Course and Faculty Evaluations
For one class, over 8 consecutive semesters, about 10% of the students completing a course and faculty evaluation form reported one or more session cancellations, while in actuality there were none

Workers' Arrivals and Departures
Wieland and Uhich (1976, pp. 57-58) suggest that employees tend to arrive at work just before the scheduled starting time. Further, the arrival array approximates Allport's (1934) J-shaped distribution. Tate, et al. (1978, pp. 25-37) imply that owner-managers, too, arrive before the starting time. However, their arrivals are normally earlier and their departures later. To examine these thoughts, the arrival and departure of cars at a parking area…
Buyers' Price Perception at a Flea Market—An Informal Look
Monroe ( 1973) cautions sellers against heavy reliance on the assumption of the existence of a srrong inverse price-demand function. Keiser and Krum (1976) display the misleading nature of two-priced retail advertising. Potter (1979) shows that in one particular situation, patronage selection of shopping centers, price is not the primary determinant of buying. To examine this grouping of related thoughts, one pattern of consumers' impulse buying,…
Biorhythms
Analysis of 881 motor vehicle accidents suggests their distribution concurs with literature which questions the validity of biorhythmic theory
Stop Sign Compliance
In Retrospect
In our earlier article, Biorhythms: another look (Trinkaus & Booke, 1982), the research findings of Wolcott, McMeekin, Burgin, and Yanowitch (1977) were incorrectly identified as being in support of, rather than in question of, the validity of biorhythmic theory. While our original draft did correctly group their work with that of others who found no support for biorhythmic influences, somehow, between revision and retyping, a transposition did o…
Carrying Document Cases
Malloy ( 1977) suggests that rhe attache-type document case is an accepted symbol of authority in the workplace and recommends its adoption by female execurives. Levy (1980) reinforces this counsel by pointing out how products surpass elemental practical usage by taking on societal significance and intricate symbolism. To gain some insight as to what might well be present practice, a simple inquiry was made of male and female commuters in a large…

Merchandise Fads of Yesteryear—An Informal Look
A survey of 720 students as to their recall of some product fads of past years (1772 to 1975) implies that people possess a relatively fair recollection about such things. Of those remembering, however, only a comparatively few had, or still have, ownership. Inclusion of two truthfulness items suggests a reasonable level of honesty on the part of the respondents
Misgivings about Aids Transmission
Researchers asked 45 medical doctors who were attending a conference on acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) if they would eat chocolate chip cookies baked and sent to them by an appreciative patient who had recently been discharged from the hospital after a lengthy stay for the treatment of AIDS (1). Only 23% said yes. This result is rather surprising, particularly in the case of physicians, for casual exposure has been studied and dismiss…

Taste Preference for Brussels Sprouts
The Fruit and Vegetable Component of Students' Diets
An informal inquiry of 442 business students as to their consumption of fruits and vegetables showed that, while these foods are normally consumed daily, the number of servings per day was generally less than that recommended by the US Department of Health and Human Services. Possible reasons for the shortfall are suggested
Changing Multiple-Choice Test Answers
A number of studies performed primarily with students studying education and psychology suggest a generally held belief that more points are to be lost than gained by changing initial answers on multiple-choice tests. A survey of 442 undergraduate business students tended to confirm the results of a recent inquiry that implied business administration students appear to hold a similar belief
The Fruit and Vegetable Component of Students' Diets
Taste Preference for Brussels Sprouts
An inquiry of the taste preference of 442 business students for brussels sprouts showed about a 50% dislike of the vegetable, 40% indifference, and a 10% like. Some implications of the findings are suggested
Changing Multiple-Choice Test Answers
Medications and Information for Patients
A replication of a report of patients' failure to ask about medications and desire to know by the National Council on Patient Information and Education showed 97% of 779 students responded that they do ask questions about prescribed medications but also would like more information. Findings are discussed in terms of methodological considerations
Compliance with the Item Limit of the Food Supermarket Express Checkout Lane
A total of 75 15-min. observations of customers' behavior at a food supermarket suggests that only about 15% of shoppers observe the item limit of the express lane. The overages tend to be limited to approximately 1 to 3 pieces
Swimming Laps
An informal inquiry consisting of 105 observations suggested that, when given a choice, most swimmers will opt to swim laps in shallow rather than deep water. Such a preference may well be related to their security need
Drop-in Chapel Attendance
It is reported that about 40% of the people in the United States attend scheduled weekly religious services. An informal inquiry of attendance at other than scheduled services implies that religious devotion may well be lower than that percentage suggests
Wearing Baseball-Type Caps
To gather some idea of the extent of the practice of wearing baseball-type caps with the peak in back, informal observations were conducted in the downtown area of a large city and on two college campuses. Analysis showed that, in the downtown area as well as at the college located in that area, about 40% of cap wearers had the peak to the rear, but at the other college situated in an outer borough of the city, the percentage was approximately 10
