Video 15.4: Guy vs. Girl Pickpocket Experiment (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeEXYZFR_Ic) uploaded by Coby Persin.

a) What did you think of the results of the “experiment”?
b) Can you think of anything other than the gender of the victim that may have influenced how people responded to the theft?  For example, people may have been influenced by how many other people were in the area, whether the victim was engaged in a conversation, the size of the item being stolen etc.
c) If you were given the opportunity to explore this topic in an experiment of your own, how would you improve on this study? Remember, the aim is to control as many of the variables as possible leaving just the IV as the causal variable.
