Help On A Project, Please!
 

This is for a class on behavior. I have to do a project and I need help thinking of a question to ask 100 students. I was hoping to find something that would be about breaking a social norm. Like a "What would you do if you saw.... happening?" kind of question.

I'm not really good at coming up with ideas like this :P But I guess you could ask them what they would do if they saw people dressing differently then what is "acceptable" in the area you live

You could ask what they'd do in a specific situation with different stimuli. Like what they'd do if they saw different 'types' of people faint in the street?

My brother had a similar project once and was asking stuff like would you tell the shop staff if you saw a young child stealing sweets? would you tell if you saw a homeless person stealing food? would you tell if you saw an old lady/middle aged man etc.

Kind of based on relative morality and people's perceptions of why people may steal and whether it's ever justified.

This may be a little bit out of the box and possibly too specific but if you wanted some interesting answers you could ask how people think they would react in some of the situations in the Saw films.
