Priming and Money

| 0 Comments | 0 TrackBacks
This is a very interesting viedo from you tube that points out how influenced people can actually be , especially with money, it shows two groups of people one counting money and the other paper, the group who counted money ate 50 percent more sweets,  were less likely to help someone out, and were able to endure physical pain longer. It just shows how easily people can be manipulated without even knowing it.It could also be looked at as a possible stimulus for crime, there are many ways that priming is happening.We could all be in a stage of priming right now and not even know. Must watch video it is astonishing!   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mW2SByfHpYg
