This research explores how gender impacts compassionate behavior through observational research. By assessing interactions with women in need, the study examines if women are more likely than men to offer assistance. Two subjects, Zabby and Alicia, were monitored during their interactions in a public setting. Published observations reveal divergent reactions based on both sex and race, affirming the initial hypothesis that women express higher compassion levels. The findings enhance our understanding of gender dynamics in altruistic behavior.
