YOUR AUNT is having a lastminute family get-together, which clashes with dinner plans you have with your friends. Would you rather go to your aunt’s party, seeing that she expects all family members to attend, or go out with your friends since your aunt’s
You missed a day from school. While out, your class was split into groups for an assignment.
Would you rather join a group that your friends aren’t a part of, to ensure productive work, or do you join with your friends in order to get the work done right and secure your grade? Random group – 50% Group with friends – 50%
“Well, I love my friends, don’t get me wrong, but if I go in a group with them, there won’t be much work being done, if any at all, so ... nah, I wouldn’t go to their group.” (Cindy, 19)
“Well, yeah, I would, I trust them enough for them to know work time is work time, and playtime is playtime. I’m not the most productive person, but when it comes down to it, we all hold each other up, so group with my girls, no doubt.” (Natasha, 19) invitation was given at short notice and you and your friends have been planning this for weeks?

“Short notice can’t work. If we were planning this for a long time, then it would be rude to cancel on them, so my aunt would have to understand, I guess.” (Kelly, 16)
“Well, to tell the truth, I am a family person, so I’d simply just ask my friends to ‘rain check’ the dinner. I’m not saying in all cases family comes first, but blood is thicker than water so, yeah, aunt’s dinner it is.” (Kelahn, 18)
It’s movie day and you and your best friend have been itching to see a movie, from the first trailer you guys saw, but little does she know that you went ahead and watched it online. Would you rather watch the same movie again at the cinema with her, and act like it’s the first time you are seeing it, or do you come clean and go through it with her, knowing that she has been wanting to watch it with you?
Lie and see it again – 40% Confess and see it again – 60%
“Well, it would be fun to see her reaction to scenes I have already seen. Pretending just to make her happy seems like something I would do, especially as I betrayed her and watched it without her.” (Shannae, 19)
“I would confess, no doubt. For one, my conscience would kill me (LOL) and I’m also bad at faking, so he’d see right through me, without question.” (Shanice, 19)
