Batman project: testing prosocial behavior on the metro
This trial sees if showing videos or messages about Batman can make people more helpful and kind to others while riding the metro. You can join if you are a passenger on the metro, as long as it is not too crowded and there are no empty seats.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
