Here's a tip, kids; if you learned about it in college, it's now considered obsolete. But it's truly awesome how they'll actually never give you that disclaimer in school because *this time* they've got it right! And don't get butthurt on me, psych guys, I totally get it.
Admittedly I don't recall the part about " and this time it will kill them" in those tests, but could the bias be selecting morons to take the test? Or that everyone knew damn good and well they weren't actually going to be killing someone? Or everyone's a murderer and a rapist?
Also, was there a similar test where instead of pushing a button or turning a dial, the subjects were touching someone's sex organs? With theirs? Well then it's not really relevant then is it?
