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.

Certain topical medications such as clotrimazole and betamethasone are not approved for use in children younger than 12 years of age. They must be used very cautiously, as directed by a doctor, to treat any child. Children have a much greater response to topical steroid medications.

A serious new warning has been established for pregnant women against taking ACE inhibitors during pregnancy. In the study, the risk of major birth defects in children whose mothers took ACE inhibitors during the first trimester was nearly three times higher than in children whose mothers didn't take ACE inhibitors. Physicians can prescribe alternative medications for pregnant women who have symptoms of high blood pressure.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

Hippocrates noted that blood separates into four differently colored liquids when removed from the body and examined: a pure red liquid mixed with white liquid material with a yellow-colored froth at the top and a black substance that settles underneath; he named these the four humors (for blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile).
