Document Summary
Over intercom, cover story - what kinds of stressful situations do you have to deal with and to avoid embarrassment forms strangers, participants are in rooms alone - it"s all pre-recorded though. Thus you can"t communicate with anyone: removed pluralistic ignorance, 1st recorded confederate says they have epilepsy when stressed, round goes on, after 2nd round starts the 1st confederate says they"re having a seizure. So how do we know if it"s dr or pi. Ambiguity of event why does this test pi over. Very important to decide if it"s an emergency. The more witnesses there are the less likely one person is to help. Latane & darley"s 5 step bystander intervention model: before helping, you must do all, notice the event. Interpret the event as an emergency: beat pluralistic ignorance, decided that you have a personal responsibility to help, beat diffusion of responsibility, decide what you should do to help, decide how to do it (implement the plan)
