Gimme Experimental is a short experiment but tests a very interesting psychology concept: the endowment effect. The endowment effect simply is the expectation that if a person owns something they place a higher value to it. Conversely‚ there is another psychology term called the reverse endowment effect.

Children can learn myriad lessons just from being around domesticated animals. I believe that children

Duncan MacDougall held an experiment to prove souls have weight. This was bad science therefore his experiment was invalid. In order to show that MacDougall’s experiment was poorly done‚ the testing of something supernatural‚ him trying to prove souls have weight‚ and only using four out of six tests are all seen as key factors. MacDougall did an experiment to see if souls have weight‚ which is supernatural. Science cannot be done on anything supernatural i.e. souls or the weight of souls (pg.
