Free Money

I will survey the people walking outside/around my apartment complex.  I plan to approach individuals walking who are not in a group because I have found that they are more likely to participate.  I plan on being very straight forward in my approach to offering them a dollar.  My reasoning for offering them a dollar is to encourage them to put it towards doing an outdoors activity on this beautiful Sunday morning.  I think I will be able to give away all five of the dollar bills because it is a beautiful day and everyone likes a nice study break.

Here's how it went!

Giving away the dollar was easier than I imagined.  Each individual I approached wanted to use the dollar towards enjoying some sort of outdoor activity such as Payne's Prarie or a snow cone in between studying.  My prediction was accurate as I was able to give away all five of the dollar bills because everyone I encountered wanted to use the money to enjoy the beautiful day.  I assumed going into my experience that everyone would enjoy doing something outdoors, which turned out to be accurate for my five interviews but will not always be the case.  I also assumed that everyone would take the dollar because money is an object for college students in most cases.
