    What type of data was collected by the researchers?

    • Quantitative

    • Qualitative

    • Quantitative & Qualitative

    Correct Answer
    A. Quantitative & Qualitative
    Explanation
    The researchers collected both quantitative and qualitative data. This means that they gathered numerical data that can be measured and analyzed statistically (quantitative), as well as non-numerical data that provides insights and understanding of attitudes, opinions, and experiences (qualitative). By using both types of data, the researchers can obtain a comprehensive understanding of the subject they were studying.

    The experiment was:

    • A lab experiment

    • A field experiment

    • A quasi eperiment

    Correct Answer
    A. A field experiment
    Explanation
    The correct answer is a field experiment. This type of experiment is conducted in a real-life setting, such as a natural environment or a specific location, rather than in a controlled laboratory setting. It involves manipulating and observing variables in a more realistic context, allowing for a better understanding of how they operate in the real world. Field experiments offer higher external validity as they can provide insights into real-world behaviors and outcomes.

    What is meant by 'Bystander Apathy'?

    • When bystanders offer help in an emergency situation.

    • When bystanders ignore a persons need for help.

    • When bystanders percieve responsibility to be shared.

    • When bystanders are unable to escape the scene of the emergency.

    Correct Answer
    A. When bystanders ignore a persons need for help.
    Explanation
    Bystander apathy refers to the phenomenon where bystanders fail to offer assistance or ignore a person's need for help in an emergency situation. This can occur due to diffusion of responsibility, where individuals believe that someone else will take action, or due to social influence, where they conform to the inaction of others. Bystander apathy can have serious consequences, as the presence of multiple bystanders can lead to a diffusion of responsibility and a decreased likelihood of intervention.

    Which of these factors was not an independent variable in the research?

    • Race of the victim (black/white).

    • Type of the victim (drunk/cane).

    • Age of the victim (young/old).

    • Presence/absence of a model.

    Correct Answer
    A. Age of the victim (young/old).
    Explanation
    The question asks for the factor that was not an independent variable in the research. An independent variable is a variable that is manipulated or controlled by the researcher. In this case, the race of the victim, type of victim, and presence/absence of a model are all factors that can be manipulated or controlled by the researcher. However, the age of the victim (young/old) is not something that can be controlled or manipulated by the researcher. Therefore, age of the victim (young/old) was not an independent variable in the research.

    • 95%

    • 100%

    Correct Answer
    A. 95%
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 95%. This suggests that the 'cane' victim received a high amount of spontaneous help, indicating that people were willing to offer assistance without being prompted or asked. This high percentage implies that the victim was likely in a situation where others recognized their need for help and were willing to step in and provide support.

    • 70%

    • 10%
