Hi,
I'm reading about our brain's 'quirks'...means...bias.
This passage from 'Guinea Pig Diaries' written by AJ Jacobs.
What does this 'take a poll' mean?
<The Creaking Bridge Effect-Our tendency to confuse general excitement
and fear with sexual excitement. I got the name from an experiment
involving an attractive woman asking men to take a poll. If the poll was
given on a dangerously creaky footbridge, the men were much more
likely to hit on the woman than if the poll was given on steady ground.>
poll....is 'survey'...right?
But I don't know what a kind of survey can happen on a creaky footbridge?
