In research, steriotypical application of group findings to individuals is called ecologic fallacy. If half of the members of a group are mean and the other half are nice, the group average (ecologic effect) will be neutral; mid-range between mean and nice. In this example, application of the ecologic group finding (neutral) to individual members of the group will misrepresent every individual regarding mean and nice behavior. Now, another interesting discussion item might be the relationship between naughty and nice, in which, they can ideally be the same thing.
I find this hard to believe, especially since the Prius is exactly the car I wanted. I'll have to really look at this study later when I have time. If they already had an expected outcome their experiments could be tainted. And anyway, my meanness has nothing to do with owning a Prius. It's because of the stupidity of those who insist on arguing with me.
Yep. That 1998 Buick Regal I traded in was a real tire-shredder. What a joke. On the other hand, this would mean that the guys driving the V-8 tire-shredders are actually the nice guys. I'll be sure to bring that up the next time I'm sitting at a stoplight next to the mid-life crisis guy revving the engine of his Mustang.
Interesting quotes: So here is the study: Do Green Products Make Us Better People? ? Psychological Science Yet from the study: Ok, so here's the deal: exposure increases alturistic behavior effects on "cheat and steal" not studied purchase decreases alturistic behavior increases "cheat and steal" Well this implies we need to 'salt' the country with more "green" products to make everyone so exposed "alturistic." All we have to do is find a bunch of folks without alturistic behavior to buy them and expose the rest. Well, it's a dirty job, I'm up for it! Wait, Wait! Now I'm lying ... and I'm cheating! Just ask my wife, Morgan Freeman. This looks like the CNW Marketing version of "Psychological SCIENCE." Bob Wilson
