Click on "Noticing the emergency." How would you describe this stage of the decision model? You'll see a description of a classic study done with seminary students on their way to give a short talk

What was the study about? In the "have time" condition, approximately what percent gave help? What about in the "late" condition. What does the study say about helping, and finally, what was the title of the talk each seminary student was to give?

Answer:
This is the stage where people decide whether to help out. The study arranged to have seminary students walk by a supposedly sick man (an assistant of the researchers) huddled on the side of their path as they were on their way to give a short talk. The question was, how many would stop to help. In the "have time" condition (where they would have time to stop and still make it to the talk on time), over 60 percent gave some help. But in the "late" condition ("stopping will make me late"), only 10 percent stopped to help! The point is, people often do a short cost/benefit analysis before deciding to give help, and these seminary students had their priorities! These seminary students thought they were headed over to give a talk on the parable of the Good Samaritan!
