Will People Stop to Help a Passed out Drunk,
Due to the bystander effect, there are many studies to see if people will stop to help another person in trouble. However, none of those studies looked at the specific variables of the person in need being drunk and passed out, and the gender of the confederate. There is no previous research on this study, which made us more eager to find out what the outcome of our research would be. The way the study went was the first night we had a female from our group lay outside the bars in this medium size town that encompasses a large University, on a street with many bars frequented with students and pretend they were drunk. The other group members stood on the other side of the street to observe the participants without being noticed. Each time a participant would walk by the confederate, we would observe whether they helped or did not help, we would then check the boxes in the chart. The next night we observed the male lying outside of the parties and bars. Our results didn't prove the part of our hypothesis that stated that more people would help the female confederate than the male confederate. Although, our results did prove that the majority of the participants would not stop and help regardless of gender. The same perc
Our hypothesis was that a passed out female would have more people help, than the passed out male, but over all more people would not help than those that would. Our research design was that one female would 'pass out' in front of a bar, and we would sit at a distance and watch our participant's actions'. Then on the next night we would have a male 'pass out' in front of a bar, and again watch what happens. ~ and the fact that there were more participants at the bar on Thursday night than on Friday night. ~ we did the study in two different places
