Social Capital - Trust

We took a wallet full of cash and asked people if it was theirs.  Let's see how many people stick to the truth!

  1. This is creative. I agree we do live in a trustworthy community. However, i wonder if you used just one dollar if you would have gotten the same results?

  2. This is a really neat idea. I feel like if they didn't know you were filming the results would have been different but i still love it!

  8. I really liked your video! It showed that students at UNCSA can really be honest. Your video was informative and fun to watch!

  9. Wow cool idea with the loaded wallet - I appreciated the way you really acted the part of good Samaritan searching for the owner - plus it shows that in terms of social capital not many people were concerned with asking to hear the owner's name in case it was a friend of theirs who'd lost it.
