Control group?
It may be interesting to note that this experiment wasn't repeated on 15 male Georgetown mentees, so we really have no basis of comparison, the author simply assumes the boys would have taken the money.
- pdenya 16y agoI was thinking the same thing. Also, it's not like it was found on the ground or discovered in some way. 5 $20 bills sitting on 5 different desks left to find where the group meets would have seemed like some sort of test or lesson to me.
- insickness 16y agoAre women afraid of science? This woman surely is. Not having a control group is no way to conduct a science experiment.
- sp332 16y agoA control group is neither necessary nor sufficient for "science" to be conducted. It's just a tool. edit: anyway, how could you have a control group? Find 15 sexless undergrads from similar economic and cultural backgrounds? or 15 one-year-old girls who have no experience with money?
