Psychologists using an allegedly dropped wallet (full of money) We decided to check how the inhabitants of Dubai will react to this. Results, although not particularly surprised, they confirmed the expectations of scientists. Though the journalists present at the same time nearly “choked” from delight, seeing such a striking honesty Dubai.
Dubai residents, where the standard of living is much higher than even in developed European countries (not to mention the CIS countries and Russia), they reacted unequivocally to money “lying” on the sidewalk: called out to the person who dropped the wallet, and pointed to him I’ll lose it.
Does such a reaction surprise Russians in Dubai? In most cases in Russia, you can meet another experiment with a wallet (shown even in the cartoon about the crocodile Gena, Cheburashka and malicious old woman Shapoklyak) when a wallet or just a bill tied to a thread and thrown onto a deserted road (themselves the organizers of this joke are hiding in the bushes). Usually a person looks around and, not seeing the owner of the money, tries to raise it. Right here and the comedy begins …
However, Russian psychologists, for example, Sevastopol, conducted experiment with a dropped wallet, similar to Dubai. Result was about the same: dropped the wallet immediately hailed passersby either picked up and handed him his wallet (watch the video, in Dubai the same thing – one to one). However, psychologists in Dubai do not brought the experiment to the end.
In Sevastopol, for example, they left a wallet on a deserted street, and only in this case he became a litmus test for determining the honesty of the person who found him. In Sevastopol nine out of ten people tried to find the owner of the wallet. I wonder how would the inhabitants of the United Arab Emirates act in this case?
