In one experiment participants were asked to take part in or observe an arts and crafts activity. Those observing enjoyed the activity more when taking photographs, but those taking part did not. After the activity participants completed a survey to measure both their enjoyment and their engagement in the experience. In each of the experiments participants were asked to partake in an activity, such as eating in a food court or taking a bus tour. Some participants were asked to take photos during the activity, and others not.
