Greedy Trial Lawyer
I Am Thinking About Money - Good For Me...And, Good For You
Category: Right On!
Finally...research has shown that thinking about money is a good thing. If these findings are correct, being a greedy trial lawyer is a civic duty.
Money May Change How People Act
Having money, or just thinking about money, may affect behavior, a study in Science shows."The mere presence of money changes people," says researcher Kathleen Vohs, PhD, in a University of Minnesota news release.
Vohs' team studied nearly 300 undergraduates at the University of Minnesota and Canada's University of British Columbia.
In nine experiments, the researchers reminded some students about money.
For instance, some of those students received play money. Others sat in front of computers with money screen savers.
For comparison, other students didn't get any play money. They sat at computers with screen savers showing landscapes or other scenes without money.
Money Matters
In every test, students who received or were reminded of money were more self-sufficient than those who weren't given or reminded of money.
For example, the students in the money group worked longer by themselves on a task assigned by the researchers before asking for help.
"The results of nine experiments suggest that money brings about a self-sufficient orientation in which people prefer to be free of dependency and dependents," write the researchers.
I appreciate the tip re the money screen savers, but will not accept play money in settlement of any of my claims..
