Answer to Question 1

Answer: Students should focus on how the presence of others might decrease the likelihood that we would help, because we look to them to decide if helping is needed. Here, students should discuss the phenomenon of pluralistic ignorance.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Perspective taking: the process of mentally putting oneself in another's position. Batson argues that taking another's perspective is necessary for purely altruistic helping to occur.
