The Impact of Sports Gear on Social Interaction: A High-Five Experiment

This project explores whether wearing hockey, lacrosse, and soccer gear at the lake increases the number of high-fives received compared to traditional street clothes. Our hypothesis suggests that the unusual sight of kids in winter sports equipment during summer will elicit more positive reactions from people. We conducted an experiment by walking the same route twice—once in sports gear and once in regular clothes—while counting high-fives. Our findings indicate that sporting gear does lead to more interactions, suggesting that people respond to the unexpected.

  1. Behavior Project Rubric By Jesse Greenhouse, Josephine Archambault, and Will Byres-Olsen Hour 3

  2. Our Question • Our question is whether wearing hockey, lacrosse, and soccer gear to the lake will get us more high fives rather than wearing regular street clothes.

  3. Abstract • We figured people react if they saw kids wearing winter sport pads in the summer. If people see something abnormal at the lake they will most likely react.

  4. Hypothesis • We think that wearing our hockey, lacrosse, and soccer gear around the lake on a walk will get us more high fives than walking the same route wearing our normal clothes.

  5. Experimental Procedure: • Our plan is to drive to the lake, wearing our sports equipment then go on a walk around a certain part of the lake asking for high fives and back to the car. Then take off our gear and pull the same stunt without sports pads.

  6. Controlled Variable • We are comparing the data that we gathered on our walk with gear to our walk without gear.

  7. Experimental Variable • The experimental variable is that we are putting on sports gear that we wouldn’t normally wear.

  14. Conclusion • In conclusion we feel that wearing sports gear gets us more high fives than wearing normal clothes because people are not used to seeing abnormal things that they aren’t used too.

  15. Further Research • We could take a longer walk and maybe a faster paced walk. We could not judge who we ask for high fives, and ask every single person even if they look scary or mean.

  16. The End • Thanks for reading!! 
