Return Rates of “Lost” Letters as a Function of Whether the Letter is Stamped and the Apparent Importance of the Letter
150 stamped and 150 unstamped letters were “lost.” Three different addresses, designed to indicate different degrees of apparent importance, were used. The return rate for stamped letters was significantly higher than the return rate for unstamped letters. The apparent importance of the letter did not have a significant effect upon return rate
Helping Behavior in the Absence of Visual Contact as a Function of Sex of Person Asking for Help and Sex of Person Being Asked for Help
Males and females telephoned males and females and asked them for help. It was found that females were more likely to be helped than males. Neither males nor females were any more likely to help. Some factors regarding generalizability were discussed
Return Rates of “Lost” Letters as a Function of Whether the Letter is Stamped and Amount of Money Apparently in the Letter
150 stamped and 150 unstamped letters with 3 different amounts of “play” money in them were “lost.” The return rate for stamped letters was significantly higher than the return rate for unstamped letters. Amount of “play” money in the letter did not have a significant effect upon return rate
