Setup of the experiment
Importance and Concept
Ethics of the experiment
The experiment showed that if a person was busy enough, they would disregard anyone or anything in need of help and would instead carry on with their task at hand.
The Experiment proved that not always will a person stop and assist another human being of the good Samaritan.
This particular experiment required that there were people who were in a big hurry, people who had a medium amount of urgency to get where they were going, and then the people who were in no hurry. Each group also had two subjects they would present when they got to their destination.
Hypothesis of the experiment
The experiment did not delve into unethical practice because none of the test subjects were put through anything that damaged them psychologically and/or physically.
John Darley and Dan Batson believed that there would be some correlation with how much of a hurry the subjects were in and what they would present.
Data and results
The reason for the experiment's fame
Approximately 40% of the test subjects helped the "wounded" man while the other 60% stepped over him. It was also discovered that people in more of a hurry wouldn't help the man while the test subjects who were in no hurry were usually quick to help the man.
The Good Samaritan experiment showed that if a person was busy enough, they wouldn't help a person in need.
The setup pt. 2
To test the good Samaritan study, Darley and Batson had an actor pretend to be hurt/incapacitated. The two subjects the test subjects were given to present were the parable of the good Samaritan and careers.
