A Good Samaritan.
Storyboard Text
- Aims:- to conduct research on bystanders in a natural situation- to look at the effects of bystander type, victim race, model behavior, and the size of a group of bystanders on helping behavior or "Good Samaritanism"Individuals would be... hypotheses1) more likely to assist people of their own race2) more likely to assist a victim who is sick or disabled3) They are less likely to assist intoxicated people since they may become filthy, humiliating, and/or violent (cost-reward matrix).
- Crippled or ill
- Drunk
- It is the year 1968. Judith Rodin and Jane Piliavin examine the killing of Kitty Genovese, a young lady who was fatally stabbed as 38 looked on in a stifling office area in the heart of New York City. They're asking themselves the same question that every New Yorker is: why didn't they say anything?
- It was just another Monday for subway riders in New York City, or so they thought... They had no idea they were about to be a part of one of the most moving sociological studies of the decade (which was Naturalistic, a Structured Observation and used Event Sampling)
- What? So, the entire time, this was a scientific study!? But he's not even disabled? Let me at him because I missed my interview for this!
- The four investigators stalked the (important section) subway carriage beneath the fluorescent illumination, waiting for their unwitting target to board. Their next victims will find themselves thrown into internal turmoil in a matter of seconds (70 to be exact). The dilemma is whether to help or not to help.
- Conclusions:1) Victims who are sick receive more assistance than those who are inebriated.2) Men are more likely than women to assist (even when both are present). Is there a cost-benefit analysis?3) Same-race assistance is more probable, particularly while inebriated.4) There is no strong relationship between the number of bystanders and the speed with which they help: there is no difference in responsibility.5) The longer a situation goes unabated, the less influence the model will have on individuals' willingness to assist.
- Finally! 70 seconds have elapsed. The moment for cripples has here (or so the victims think)
- Good samaritans rush to the disabled man's aid (in a median of five seconds, 95percent . as a result of the time), precisely as the study predicted. They've been thwarted again again!
- The research is finished after 103 people have gone through it. Rhodin and Piliavin return to the same stifling office area to summarize their results. Finally, never drink and ride the subway in New York City.
