The purpose of this experiment was to test the hypothesis that passive behavior from individuals in a group will signal that the situation is in fact, not dangerous. An individual is less likely to intervene in a situation if bystanders appear passive or if bystanders are there during the circumstance. When witnessing a situation alone, it has been tested, that these individuals reaction rate seem quicker and that the response rate and interpretation of the emergency happened earlier. Although…

Model Essay for “Individuals In Groups” A popular expression that people use regarding groups is that there is “strength in numbers” – well, research suggests otherwise. In the article “Individuals In Groups”, Carol Tavris explains how experimental evidence shows that people who are alone or in a group tend to react differently in certain emergency situation. One of the experiments described in the article showed that when people are alone in an emergency situation, they tend to active and…

It depends on what kind of music and what kind of subject. Researchers like Stanford University Professor, Clifford Nass have stated,“Music with lyrics is very likely to have a problematic effect when you’re writing or reading. Probably less of an effect on Math, if you’re not using the language parts of your brain,” (Goodwin 11). Yes I do agree with what the professor said. The song can and will interfere with your brains thinking when its trying to process the words…

linked together, I have chosen five specific concepts that I will be defining and giving a personal example or scenario that I have personally experienced for each term. The first psychological concept I will be explaining is the bystander effect. The bystander effect is when individuals are less likely to help in times of need or in situations when other people are around. I have witnessed this in many situations, one specific situation was when I was in middle school my family and I lived…

The Tea Room study was a study conducted by Mr. Humphreys in 1970. Humphreys (1970) studied the homosexual encounters of men in public restrooms. The various men’s participating in such activity came from different social backgrounds and they had different personal motives for seeking homosexual. The researcher study questioned some of the stereotypes associated with the anonymous male-male sexual encounters in public places. That demonstrated that many of the participants lived conventional…

Directed attention is a mechanism used by humans every day to manage their thoughts by inhibiting a stimuli in order to say or do something else; this tendency is also known as the Stroop effect. To test the effects of the Stroop task we conducted an experiment to examine if words on silhouettes have an effect on the reaction time of verbalizing the names of the animals on a silhouette sheet. We hypothesized that reaction time would be higher in the no label condition than the incongruent label…

In every good story, you always have your hero or main character who tries to achieve his or her goal, but the villain or antagonist has some reason to stop them from achieving it. Finally, a bystander is always watching this conflict go down and has nothing to say about it and just goes on with their life because they don’t have to worry about it. In the books: Romeo and Juliet, And Then There Were None, and To Kill a Mockingbird, the characters in their respected books all show the theme of…

Poof! With one flick of her wand, the fairy godmother turned Cindy into a gorgeous girl with a beautiful blue dress and two crystal slippers. At this moment, Cindy was on top of the world, but would magic proceed to something good happening? Or would Cindy have a rude awakening to reality? What meets the eye in the remade version by Disney is merely a mask that hides the real gore and bitterness of the original “Cinderella,” leaving out details to preserve the happiness of children around the…

what had happened to them. This was very difficult for them to overcome and some never mentally recovered (Goldhill 2). Some of the victims had to deal with the long term physical effects of the medical experiments. “Many Mengele twins suffered incurable mysterious diseases” and many never recovered and suffered the effects of the Holocaust for the rest of their lives (Caplan 6). Some victims developed cancer and other diseases that were caused by all the injections and all the experiments…

In the workbook, there are two columns, one on the left is the symbols and other one on the right is the numbers. To experience the Stroop effect, I have to count the numbers of symbols/numbers that are there in the workbook. My personal experience with the Stroop task wasn’t so difficult but the one on the right one made me respond slower than I did with the one on the left. I would say the reason I was slower when I performed the right column because my mind would atomically read first instead…
