Please Wash Your Hands
According to one study, male college students are less conscientious about hand-washing in the restroom than female college students. Even after a reminder was placed in the restroom, only 35% of men washed their hands, compared to 97% of women (Johnson, Sholcosky, Gabello, Ragni, & Ogonosky, 2003). Researchers in this study took great care to look as though they were regular people who just happened to be using the restroom themselves. Do you think more men would have washed their hands if they knew they were being observed?
