5  A man in Halifax, Canada wanted to find out if people were thankful for someone holding the door open for them.  7  The social experiment showed that 99 out of 100 people expressed gratitude. “I didn't think we were going to get 99. I don't know why, but I was pleasantly surprised because it went beyond just ‘thank you’—people got into conversations with us,” said Steve Foran, CEO of Gratitude At Work. “What we know from research is that from grateful people come good things,” he said.  6  “A simple way to induce gratitude in people is opening doors and so we went to six places and open the doors for people.” For the experiment, Foran's team went to a shopping center, a mall, two office buildings and a coffee shop. The door was held for 15 to 20 people at a time at each location. “ 7  We did have one that didn't say thank you. We're not here to judge them, because on any given day, that could be me or you. I suspect out of the 100 people, there were probably a bunch of them having a bad day, but grateful people make people grateful,” said Foran.

 5  加拿大哈利法克斯的一名男子想知道人们是否对为他们开门的人表示感谢。 7  这项社会实验表明，100个人中有99人表达了感激之情。“我没想到能有99个人（表示感激）。我不知道为什么，但我感到惊喜，因为人们除了说‘谢谢你’，还与我们交谈，”Gratitude At Work的首席执行官史蒂夫·福伦说。他说：“我们从研究中得知，懂得感恩的人会带来美好的事情。 6  让别人感激你的一个简单方法就是开门，所以我们去了6个地方，为人们开门。”为了进行实验，福伦的团队去了一家购物中心、一个商场、两座写字楼和一个咖啡厅。在每个地点，（团队成员）一次为15到20人开门。“确实有一个人没有说谢谢。我们不对他们进行评判，因为某一天，不说谢谢的人可能是你或我。我怀疑，在这100个人中，可能有一群人那天过得很糟糕，但懂得感恩的人会让别人心存感激。”福伦说。
