Document Summary

Next day many people said they heard but it took by stander 30 minutes to call police. Told them good or bad news about their grades. Turing ing the second task the researcher blasted noise. Those who were in a good mood were more attentive and looked up sooner. They noticed noise increase at a lower decibel. In a second study the first 2 steps were repeated. At the end they saw a woman and she needed help opening a door. Those who were in a good mood helped here even if she didn"t make a noise to attract attention. Those in a bad mood only helped when she made a noise to attract attention. Good moods seem to make people more generally sensitive to others needs. The nature and clarity of the event itself can critically affect whether people will help or not. People either saw a person fall down stairs or saw only the aftermath.
