From The Guardian, I'm Madeleine Finley and this is Science Weekly. voice-verified
Ian, it's September, which means back to school time, and for us it means the IG Nobel Prizes. voice-verified
These are kind of like the cheeky younger sibling of the Nobels. voice-verified
There are ten awards given out, and we're gonna talk about a few of them, but first I want to know, you cover these every year. voice-verified
What do you like about them? voice-verified
In as I was reading through the list of the prize recipients, I was laughing, chuckling away, as you said, out loud. voice-verified
There are some really funny ones, but the the first one that you're gonna tell me about is the economics prize. voice-verified
So who did this go to? voice-verified
Well, I think, you know, it would be very easy for listeners to be thinking right now, oh, typical Guardian, blaming everything on the rich. voice-verified
So it's good that there's some scientific legitimacy going on here. voice-verified
So tell me a bit more about what kind of situations they were looking at. voice-verified
on my way. voice-verified
Do the researchers have any theories as to what might be behind this difference in moral behaviour depending on class? voice-verified
Why you can steal candy from a baby. voice-verified
So this went to a study from a group of researchers who, at the time of publication, were based at Oklahoma State University, the University of Texas at Austin, and Hamilton College in the US. voice-verified
And there had been a lot of research before about the kinds of characteristics that we look for in a friend. voice-verified
And through all these different studies, the two main ones that would always come up are. voice-verified
Kindness and trustworthiness. voice-verified
And that's not a surprise, right? voice-verified
When we're thinking about what we want from a friend, we want them to be nice to us and we want to be able to trust them. voice-verified
