Journal Write-up needed tonight
From your reading of the Darley & Batson (1973) study, first identify the three variables that were hypothesized to have an effect on the helping behavior of participants. Each of these three variables had several conditions within them. Please describe those in your response.
After analysis of the experiment's results, only one of the 3 main variables examined was found to significantly predict helping behaviors. Which variable was this? Describe those findings as well as possible explanations.
A second variable showed a measured difference in helping that did not rise to the level of statistical significance. Which variable was this? Can you offer any possible explanations?
