For one, who the hell hitchhikes anymore? Rapists and homeless people. For two, how the hell does someone get funding to do an in-depth study on hitchhiking women’s breast sizes versus their success in hitchhiking? In any case, Nicolas Gueguen did such a study and not surprisingly, found that chicks with big tits get rides more often than chicks with no tits. IT’S SCIENCE. AND BOOBIES.
Returning to the current paper, Guéguen created one of three naturalistic experimental conditions (corresponding to three breast sizes) using an average looking female confederate: (1) her actual breast size, which was an A cup (i.e., smaller than the French average); (2) a B cup (the average size in France); (3) a C cup (greater than the average). The breast “augmentations” were performed via the addition of a latex implant.
The female confederate then stood at the side of a road and actually hitch hiked (i.e., put out her thumb as cars whizzed by). Two observers coded the number of male and female drivers that drove by along with the number of times that a given driver stopped to pick up the confederate. For obvious security reasons, once a driver stopped, this was counted as an instance of having picked up the hitchhiker. In other words, the confederate did not actually get into any cars. A male observer also hid close by to ensure against any possible threats to the confederate’s security.
And then in another shocker, it turns out that big boobs mainly only work on guys. Thanks for the insight… your Nobel Prize will be in the mail shortly.
