Assume that you are a participant in Latan and Darley's (1968) experiment examining when people help. You believe that there are four other people participating with you in a discussion, although you are isolated in a booth to ensure privacy.
 
  When you are listening to one of the other participants talk, you hear him beginning to have a seizure. If you behave like the typical subject in Latan and Darley's research, what are you most likely to do?
 
   a. Run out of the booth to find the experimenter for help.
   b. Try yelling through the walls to see if he is all right.
   c. Anxiously remain in the booth and hope for the best.
   d. Leave the experiment because of psychological stress.

Question 2

Why didn't Latan and Darley (1968), in their study of bystander intervention in emergencies, use a manipulation more like events in the Kitty Genovese murder?
 
  a. It would be unethical to expose unwitting participants to such a distressing manipulation.
  b. It would be impossible to ensure that the murder sounded identical to all participants.
  c. It would be impossible to assign participants on the street to experimental conditions.
  d. The New York City police refused to give the researchers permission to conduct their experiment.
