Bibb Latané on Social Psychology - Dictionary of Arguments
Haslam I 202 Social psychology/Darley/Latané: After a murder in New York in March 1964 that 38 witnesses had observed from their homes without calling the police, Darley wrote 1) Social psychologists ask not how people are different or why are the people who failed to respond monsters, but how are all people the same and how might anybody in that situation be influenced not to respond. 2) What influences reach the person from the group? We argued for a several step model in which a person first had to define a situation. Emergencies don’t come with a sign saying ‘I am an emergency’. In defining the event as an emergency one looks at other people to see their reactions to the situation and interpret the meaning that lies behind their actions. 3) When multiple people are present, the responsibility to intervene does not focus clearly on any one person.
