Question	Answer
Aim	Investigate the effect of several variables on helping behaviour: Responsibility of victim Race of victim Effect of modelling size of group
sample	4450 men and women 55% white average in carriage 43 average in critical 8
Location	11th avenue, 59th - 129th subway A and D trains 7 1/2 minute ride incident happened 70 seconds into ride
Independent variable	Race of victim state of victim (ill/drunk) amount of people in the carriage prescience of model (early or late)
Dependent Variable	Time taken for first helper Gender race location of each helper total helpers Time taken for first helper after model
The Trails	In total 103 trials Drunk - 38 Cane victim - 65 early model: 70 seconds after collapse (critical/adjacent) Late model: 150 after after collapse (critical/adjacent)
Findings: responsibility	Cane 95% drink 50% Before model intervened (Cane 87%, drunk 17%)
Findings: Race of victim	Black received help slower than white slight same race effect on drunk effect 90% of first helpers were male
Findings: Modelling	Early model had slightly more effect than late model
Findings: Group size	No diffusion of behaviour
