THE RESULTST
he result: 2 / 3 of the 40 participants gave the highest electric shocks!
The experiment showed that normally nice people with simple means can be made to execute other equally nice people.

SITUATIONAL INFLUENCES:5 STEPS TO HELPING
Step 1: Notice the Event• In order to help, you must realize something is happening• Often people are distracted and don’t even notice
(especially in large cities)
Step 2: Interpret as Emergency • If you see someone lying on the sidewalk, does that mean
they need or want help?• Pluralistic ignorance can play a role here
• Others not helping, must not be a problem
![Page 27: Social psychology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816773550346895ddc639c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
5 STEPS TO HELPINGS
tep 3: Feel responsible• Just because you notice someone in need of help, is that
your problem?• Diffusion of responsibility plays a role at this step
Step 4: Know how to help• If someone appears to need medical care and you’re not
a nurse or doctor, then what?• If you can’t offer appropriate help, you will likely not try
![Page 28: Social psychology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816773550346895ddc639c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
5 STEPS TO HELPING
Step 5: Assess costs of helping• You see someone in need of help, you feel
responsible, you know what to do, but…• Could be highly dangerous• Could make you financially liable• Could embarrass you

THE SITUATIONAL DETERMINANTS OF HELPING BEHAVIOUR
The reaction of others: people look to each other to know how to act
The number of bystanders: a diffusion of responsibility occurs when many witnesses are present. More witnesses can actually men less helping!
The closeness of bystanders: the closer the more likely to help (face to face vs. over the phone) on the street vs. subway
Ambiguity, environmental location and the norms of the society
![Page 34: Social psychology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816773550346895ddc639c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Results/Findings
Helping behaviour was very high and much higher than earlier laboratory studies.
The cane victim received spontaneous help on 62 out of the 65 trials, and the drunk victim received spontaneous help on 19 out of 38 trials.
![Page 35: Social psychology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816773550346895ddc639c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
On 60% of the 81 trials where spontaneous help was given, more than one person offered help. Once one person had started to help, there were no differences for different victim conditions (black/white, cane/drunk) on the number of extra helpers that appeared.
The race of the victims made no significant difference to helping behaviour, but there was a slight tendency for same-race helping in the drunken condition.
![Page 36: Social psychology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816773550346895ddc639c/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
It was found that 90% of helpers were male. Although there were more men present, this percentage was statistically significant.
Diffusion of responsibility was not evident. The diffusion of responsibility hypothesis predicts that helping behaviour would decrease as the number of bystanders increases. In fact the field experiment found that the quickest help came from the largest groups.

FOR YOU!
Since you were so brilliant at acting last time…
In groups of 3-4, produce and perform a role-play of either obedience, conformity or bystander-effect.
You get 15 minutes to rehearse, then it’s show time!

PRISON STUDYBy Zimbardo, Haney and Banks (1973)
They wanted to demonstrate the situational rather than the dispositional causes of negative behaviour.
Read the study and answer the following questions: Why did they simulate a prison for their experiment?
What factors contributed to the study’s result?

CONCLUSIONPhilip Zimbardo shows how people become monsters ... or heroes"Philip Zimbardo knows how easy it is for nice people to turn bad. In this talk, he shares insights and graphic unseen photos from the Abu Ghraib trials. Then he talks about the flip side: how easy it is to be a hero, and how we can rise to the challenge."

1. Pick one historical/current event/crime and summarize the event/outcome.
2. Then analyse that event/outcome/crime to reasons that we have studied for why and how people turn to negative behaviour, to see if one could come to another conclusion today or give an alternative answer to the “why”.
