6. What is meant by 'Bystander Apathy'?

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.

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

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.
