Two scientists John Darley and Daniel Batson were studying pro-social behavior.The point of emphasis on this study was to see if disposition and situational are more influential in determining pro-social behavior. The partcipants had to walk and meet with someone and give them their sermon then diagnosed them with a specific problem

the point of this experiment was to see how people would react when they saw someone in need, if they were to refuse to help then they would have to step over that person. it showed how your beliefs were when it came to the good Samaritan

Subjects were told to fill out a survey and part of the survey was to find out if they were religious or not. The were told to meet at a different building at a time. Some people were told that they were early, some people were told that they were on time but should hurry so they don't be late, and some people were told that they were late and needed to be fast. They put a fallen stranger on the sidewalk to see if the situation they were in would make them help the stranger or not.

The point of this study was to see if dispositional or situational factors are more influential in determining prosocial behavior. They set up an experiment and had a group of students come to a building and met with a researcher and they filled out a bunch of surveys. Then the participants were told that they needed to prepare a brief talk about the Good Samaritan from the Bible. Participants were all told that they needed to walk to a nearby building to meet up with another member of the team and then to give their sermon. They then, by random chance, were determined to be in one of three conditions.

Two religious backgrounds were totally different to the point where they disliked each other. One was Samaritans and the other one is where the man in trouble was from. I don't see a specific name. Even though they don't like the Samaritans and visa versa, the Samaritan stopped to help anyway. It was showing even if you are from different backgrounds that dislike each other. You don't have to be a mean person. The Samaritan showed himself as a regular person, to help the man, and he put all the hatred behind him.

Two scientists conducted an experiment over why people do good things for others. The point of the whole study is to see dis-positional or situational factors can influence pro-social behavior. The used one person who blocked the pathway to get to a class, to see if they would help the guy. 63% of who was early for classed stopped, 45% who were on-time for class stopped, and 10 % who were running late stopped. In human behavior, we have a strong sense to stopped and be nice to or help so one out, without thinking otherwise.

People do good things for others when it's most convenient for themself. Based off of the results the largest percentage of people who helped only helped because they had extra time while the ones who were late wouldn't stop to help due to time restrictions.

This article takes place around the early 1970's, at the campus of Princeton University in New Jersey. It was an experiment conducted by to behavioral psychologists named John Darley and Daniel Batson. The two had a bunch of seminary students come to a building, meet with a researcher, and fill out a bunch of surveys. Afterwards they divided the gropus into three, all telling them to meet the other team. One way it was said was, " you have plenty of time, and were early." The second way they said it was, "were on-time, but should head over now so as not to be late." The last way it was said was, " were running late, and really needed to skedaddle." On their way they found a fallen "stranger" (who was part of the experiment), to seem sick on the ground and in need of help. The catch was that the alleyway was only four feet across so to not help this guy, you had to step over him. In conclusion when it comes to human behavior, we have a strong bias toward thinking that people do what they do because of internal traits that drive their behaviors.

This about two behavioral scientists were interested in studying the psychology of pro-social behavior. They asked why do people do good things for others? The basic point of the study was to see if dis-positional or situational factors are more influential in determining pro-social behavior. In other words, when someone is kind to another, is that because he or she has some innate qualities within that lead to kindness or because some situational factors simply determine and allow for kind behaviors.

This article goes on about what it means to be human. These people set up a test. They brought student in and had them do a survey. They divided the students into three groups. Group one was told they were on time and be to the next area early. Second group was told that they were on time, but needed to hurry or they'll be late. the last group was told they were late. on the way to the next location all groups would come across a "sick" man on the road. in order to get to the next location they had to walk around the man. All of them stopped to help the man.

The point of this experiment is to see how many people are willing to help someone that they don't know. showing from the charts and research even people who had religious beliefs were no more likely to stop than people who didn't have beliefs

Two scientists wanted to study the psychology of pro-social behavior. They first studied students at Princeton that were studying to be priests. The basic point of the study was to see if dispositional or situational factors are more influential in determining pro-social behavior. They managed to set up another study. They had students come in and fill out surveys. Participants were then later told that they needed to walk to a nearby building to meet someone else that was a part of the team to get their sermon. Those participants were then told 1 of three different conditions.

this experiment was to test peoples human nature, they set up a person in the middle of an alley who was hurt and needed help, then they had 3 different groups of students, who were on their way to a church to speak on being a good humanitarian, that they needed to get to this church and each group were told they were early, late, or right on time. the outcome of these groups were even if they were going to speak about being a good Samaritan they arent really one because only a few of them stopped.

Two behavioral scientists, John Darley and Daniel Batson, were interested in studying the psychology of prosocial behavior.The basic point of the study was to see if dispositional or situational factors are more influential in determining prosocial behavior.This study has such dramatic implications for what it means to be human. First off, the overall amount of “helping” was low - with 40% of participants not stopping and helping. When it comes to human behavior, we have a strong bias toward thinking that people do what they do because of internal traits that drive their behaviors

They did a study on why people do good things. They used people who wanted to be priests. They were told that they need to prepare a speech from the Good Samaritan from the Bible. There were three groups: A, B, and C. Group A was early, group B was running a little late, and group C was running really late. When they did this experiment they had a fallen person in the alley by them. 63% of group A stopped to help the man, 45% in group B stopped to help the man, and 10% in group C stopped to help the man. This showed that if people are running late then they aren't willing to help someone in danger or who needs help.

I could relate to this experiment because I believe that a person with a strong bias on something such as religious matter isn't subjected to helping other especially those in the article who are studying to be a priest or give talks about the Bible because the good actions are based on their timely manners. If a person is late to something, then they can't really help anyone out even if they really want to help, just like me if I am late to something then I won't pay attention to anything around me except for the place that I have to get to. If I am early to something then i tend to see what is around me so it is mostly for me to help someone to help someone who is needing help.

The experiment was to see if people being kind was because they had qualities that lead to kindness or if it just allowed kind behaviors. The experimenter had people fill out surveys which addressed if the students were religious certain reasons. Lastly they made participants meet... and a person was laying down in an alley. They wanted to see if they would help the person or just simply step over them.

There were 2 scientist, John Darley and Daniel Batson who studied pro social psychology. The point of this experiment was to see how people would react when there was someone who was in need. The study subjects were priest. They ask to help and they could step over them or help them up

The point of this experiment was to see how people would react if there where people in need. 63% of the people that was early stopped and helped and 43% of the people that where on-time stopped and helped. But only 10% of people help when they where running late to class.

Basically, there were people who were studying to be priests and they were on their way to give a sermon and they were told that either they were early, they had some time, or they were running late. So, on their way there, they had to go through an alleyway and there was a "sick person" (who was part of an experiment) and they either had to step over him or help him out. Most people just stepped over the sick person and did not help them.
