Question 38

In their investigation of bystander behavior, Piliavin et al. (1969) manipulated whether the victim appeared ill (carrying a cane) or drunk. Which of the following statements accurately describes the spontaneous help (help received before the model intervened) observed in these two conditions?

The drunk victim received spontaneous help in 95%95\%95% of trials with a median latency of 5 seconds5\text{ seconds}5 seconds, whereas the cane victim received spontaneous help in 50%50\%50% of trials with a median latency of 109 seconds109\text{ seconds}109 seconds.

The cane victim received spontaneous help in 50%50\%50% of trials with a median latency of 5 seconds5\text{ seconds}5 seconds, whereas the drunk victim received spontaneous help in 95%95\%95% of trials with a median latency of 109 seconds109\text{ seconds}109 seconds.

The cane victim received spontaneous help in 95%95\%95% of trials with a median latency of 5 seconds5\text{ seconds}5 seconds, whereas the drunk victim received spontaneous help in 50%50\%50% of trials with a median latency of 109 seconds109\text{ seconds}109 seconds.

Both the cane and drunk victims received spontaneous help in approximately 95%95\%95% of trials, but the cane victim's median help latency was significantly longer (109 seconds109\text{ seconds}109 seconds compared to 5 seconds5\text{ seconds}5 seconds for the drunk victim).
