LOOKING AT THE BYSTANDER EFFECT WEB QUEST:Site 1 Q2: Tell about the one example of Latané and Darley’s research

that you found most interesting and summarize the experiment and their findings.

Site 2 Q4 and Q5: Contrast the results when “Peter” laid down the second time and tell what led to the new results. Are you surprised about the results of the experiment? Why or why not? Refer to evidence from the video.

Site 3 Q4: What are your overall impressions of the smoke filled room study? Do you think it was realistic and applies to real life? Why or why not?

Site 4 Q2: Use your own words to clarify the two contributing factors to the bystander effect.

CNS: HELPING BEHAVIOR AND THE BYSTANDER EFFECT

Objective:

Contrast two causes of

helping behavior and contrast

bystander and upstander

behavior by following lecture and by actively participating.

CONSIDER THIS…What are the human characteristics that guide

us to be helpers by nature?

If assisting others is natural for us, what prevents us from helping?

I. EMPATHY AND ALTRUISM: THE PURE MOTIVE FOR HELPINGWhat is empathy?

Do we empathize more with people in our IN group or people in OUT groups?

OBSERVE SOMEONE IN

NEED OF HELP

DO YOU FEEL

EMPATHY FOR THIS

PERSON?

NO

YES

YOU WILL HELP IF IT IS IN YOUR SELF

INTEREST AND THE REWARD OUTWEIGHS

THE COST

YOU WILL HELP REGARDLESS OF WHETHER

IT IS IN YOUR SELF-INTEREST, EVEN IF THE COSTS OUTWEIGH THE

REWARDS

BATSON’S (1991) EMPATHY-ALTRUISM THEORY

II. PROSOCIAL BEHAVIOR

Defined: Any act performed with the goal of benefiting another person with an added benefit to the person who helps.

In what ways can helping others be rewarding?

1. Reciprocity: increases the probability that someone will help us in return

2. Relieve Stress: relieves the personal worry of the bystander—it’s stressful to see others struggle

3. Recognition: gains social approval and increased self-worth

THINK FOR 30 SECONDS PAIR WITH YOUR PARTNERSHARE WITH THE CLASS

1. What leads to altruism?

2. What are the benefits of prosocial behavior?

V. INCREASING UPSTANDER RESPONSE

A: PROSOCIAL ROLE MODELS

Bryan & Test (1967)

L.A. drivers were far more likely to offer help to a female driver with a flat tire if a quarter of a mile earlier they had witnessed someone helping another woman change a tire.

Bryan & Test (1967)

New Jersey Xmas shoppers were more likely to drop money into a Salvation Army kettle if they had just seen someone else donate.

V. INCREASING UPSTANDER RESPONSE (CONTINUED)

B: PROSOCIAL MEDIATV programming

Study of Mr. Rogers

4 wks preschool program

Kids became more cooperative, helpful, likely to state their

feelings during the 4 week period than

those who did not see the show.

C: SPREAD AWARENESSBeaman et al. (1978)

Students who had heard a lecture on bystander intervention were more likely to help in a staged emergency 2 wks later.

Heard lecture:

43% helped

Did not hear lecture:

25% helped
