Researchers exposed some students to a lecture on bystander intervention research and other students to a lecture on an unrelated topic. Two weeks later
a. the students had forgotten what they learned, suggesting that education is not beneficial in increasing helping.
b. students exposed to the lecture on helping were more likely than others to help, even in the presence of an unresponsive confederate.
c. students who did well on a test were more likely to help, independent of the lecture they heard.
d. students who did poorly on a test were more likely to help, independent of the lecture they heard.
Question 2
At Cornell and Vassar, students intervened in emergencies. In both cases, they
a. had learned about the barriers to helping in class.
b. had plenty of extrinsic motivation for helping in the form of cash rewards.
c. regretted getting involved.
d were not willing to help until someone else began helping.
