Question

For this activity, I'd like you to watch a 43-minute Court TV show, "The Human Behavior Experiments": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVpV73wSyG8 This episode is often used in introductory psychology classes to illustrate obedience to

authority, but has strong parallels to the issues raised by bystander intervention research. Write a two-page response paper addressing the following: 1. Give an example from the documentary of a bystander who did not act. 1. Explain why you think this person did not act (think in terms of the five influences of bystander intervention: diffusion of responsibility, evaluation apprehension, pluralistic ignorance, confidence in skills, and modeling). 2. Give an example from the documentary of a bystander who did act. 1. Explain why you think this person did act (think in terms of the five influences of bystander intervention: diffusion of responsibility, evaluation apprehension, pluralistic ignorance, confidence in skills, and modeling). 3. How do you relate these examples to the challenge of bystander intervention training? 1. Challenge = fostering a sense of responsibility that will prompt bystanders to act. 4. How do you relate these examples to the requirement of bystander intervention training? 1. Requirement = understanding why some people act and others do not.
