A student team conducted an observational study to investigate helpful (prosocial) behaviour in different areas of a college campus. Their recorded observations are shown in Table 1.
| Sitting near someone studying | Standing near someone carrying heavy equipment | Walking near someone who dropped papers | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Location 1 Science block | 14 | 22 | 19 |
| Location 2 Main corridor | 8 | 15 | 11 |
Suggest two better examples of helpful behaviours that the students could have used in their observation. Explain why these might be more valid examples of helpful behaviour than the behaviours in Table 1.
