The Good action could spread

Saw the person doing favour could push us did the same thing. It the conclusion of the study of Simone Schnall from the Cambridge University, England. 

Previous researches showed when we saw the other person did a favour, we were inspired to do that was same. Schnall and the team asked 36 students to watch one from three videos, namely the clip from the The Oprah Winfrey Show agenda, the documentary film concerning the environment, or the comedy video. The Oprah video showed musicians who were grateful to their former teachers.

One instructor pretended to be able to not take off one computer file  that was needed by participants to complete the test. So when he invited participants to leave the room, but before going out they were asked to fill up the other research questionnaire. If prepared filled, they could stop whenever. 

Evidently, they who witnessed the Oprah video completing the questionnaire in time twice were longer compared with participants who saw the documentary film or the comedy video. They who claimed felt '"motivated and was enthusiastic" after witnessing the same video more tended to help the instructor. (EP/Livescience/X-8)
