Occasionally I stumble upon social psychology experiments that involve getting numbers on the street, women rating men's attractiveness, etc. while systematically changing only one variable.
For instance, in one study, Group 1 approached girls on the street and asked for their number without any pre-amble. Group 2 approached girls on the street but asked for directions before asking for their number. Even with such a short pre-amble (no GALNUC or elderly ramble or anything), Group 1 got a much higher percentage of numbers than Group 2 did.
Or in another study, guys approached girls either with a sports bag or a guitar case. Guys with the guitar case got more numbers than guys with a sports bag.
While these may be obvious, the point is that these studies are out there, and there may be more useful ones out there as well.
So, does anyone know if there is a database or journal dedicated to these sorts of studies? What sort of keywords would you use etc?
