Wouldn't be any different in America. Watched a guy buy a homeless man a pair of boots in the winter in NYC. Good people are everywhere
WarpWeftWarbleWrithe
Though I dislike the liberal use of the word experiment, this kicks so much ass
mycousinislame
The sad thing is, if he wasn't a kid, they probably wouldn't have done anything.
sexymotherfuckeryouhavealargepenis
What do you mean? I wouldn't give my coat to a regular dude / person as capable to feel a bit chilly.
MarieJFC
I think there's more... last time I saw this they also tried doing the same with an adult, and nobody cared
MarieJFC
Oh no, nevermind, I was thinking about the parody somebody made of it, sorry, ignore me.
maximilianfragglebottom
i wonder what would have happened if the actor had been an adult or adolescent
hallowedaretheori
I don't get it. This would happen in most places, except maybe somewhere like Uganda.
sms001
Nice to see a country that isn't so obsessed with "OMG PEDOS!" that guys can help a kid. I don't even talk to them here.

It's not an experiment, it was a stunt done by the Red Cross in 2013. -Norwegian

You had extra gloves this whole time?!

Check the sauce, his jacket was "stolen" (as in not actually stolen because it's an experiment).
DanielJonLarge
The one where he hugs him. Oh my god.
Ninethousandeighthundredandtwo
"YOU WEAR THIS NOW!"
SuperAlucius
Wasn't a hug. The guy was making sure the jacket fully covered the kid.
Darkfoxblade
Either way that kid's got the brightest tucking smile
idrinkcheapbeer
Am I missing one? I see no hugs.

No hugs. It's all lies here.

Um, that's not a hug. He is just helping him with the jacket.

In Mexico he'd have been kidnapped and they'd be trying to contact family members for a huge ransom.

Im not trying to attack you, but I think its really silly how the US is ALWAYS about censorship. Us outsiders just cant understand.

Plus, our government has a lot of people who should have been out of office over a decade ago.

No, I completely agree. I don't consider that any kind of attack. It's mainly outspoken minor groups that no one should be paying attention.

If it's an experiment, is there a control group? Is it just people at a bus stop without a cold kid?
shuttlecockinakumquat
Norway doesn't really have multiple ethnic groups. There's no control needed.
SometimesIBuildThings
Control doesn't have to be a kid of a different ethnic group.

No, no. In 2014, "social experiment" is code for "how to get Likes and views on your social media accounts. +1

Rather than "experiment", let's call it "behavioral observation".
theheatwave2001
Thank you! Finally some one who can differentiate from experiment and observation. Ppl really have no idea what goes into experiments.
sevenofninetertiaryadjunctofunimatrixzeroone
I'm pretty sure an experiment requires a manipulation (kid). An observation requires none. This doesn't prove causality though.

I'd like to see it with a homeless person
royandmossladyproblems
Just go outside in a big city. I bought a homeless man a hot coffee and this awful man told me I was part of the problem.
vauhtihirmu
The awful man was propably trying to not feel bad about not acting compassionately himself. A dick move, none the less.
darknesses
I'm not sure if that'd work lol. Maybe with an adult instead of a kid?
MusculusSternocleidomastoideus
Maybe it wasn't a control case study, which often happens in social experiments
Nekohent
This experiment was to see how people reacted to seeing someone beeing alone and cold in winter. Social study, how you react to situations.

yes.
Narushima
It's an experiment in the same sense as how people who say "I fucking love science" have a scientific mind.
TheLordLucifersBannedAccount02
I fucking love science, and I've got so much of a scientific mind that I zap my sister with a taser, and record the results.

They don't love science, in that they have nothing to do with the complex maths and study which go with it. They like the concept of science
Atharaphelun

Narushima
You are correct in thinking that.
tyridewgust
They don't really love science, in that they do not care for science on an emotional level.

If this were actually an experiment it would be considered unethical given that it was conducted without consent

IIRC the last time this was posted there was a homeless man who went to the bus stop on a different day.
SometimesIBuildThings
Ididnotknowthat. This is the first time I'd seen it.
RCMCC
It's a "social" experiment. "Social" is a common term of art, meaning "not scientific at all."
SometimesIBuildThings
You know there's a branch of behavioral science devoted to "social," right?

There can't be a complete control here, you'd have to just change variables (kid vs. teen. vs. woman vs. man etc.).

She's Italian and Peruvian, very friendly people in comparison. I've had full deep conversations with total strangers in Brazil. Cultures

She said they were very robotic, and that there was a culture of accepting whatever the government throws at em. Total equality, at least.
