The murder took place around ten o’clockp.m.On June 10.Thirty-two people wanted Kitty being killed right beneaththeir windows.She was their neighbor.Yet,none of the 32 helped her.Not evenone called the police.Was this inhuman cruelty(狠心)?Was itlack of one’s fellow man?
“Not so,” say scientists Dr.Darley and Dr.Fatane.They’ve found the reasons why people don’t act.According to them,aperson has to go through two steps before he can help.First he has to noticethere is an emergency(紧急情况).
Suppose you see a middle-aged man fall ontothe ground.Is he having a heart attack,or some other physical trouble?Or ishe simply about to sleep off a drunk(醉酒)?So it’snot always easy to tell if you are faced with a real emergency.
Second and more important,the person facedwith an emergency must feel himself responsible.He must feel that he musthelp.
The researchers found that a lot depends onhow many people are around.They asked college students to come in to be “tested”.Some came alone,some with one or two others,and some in large groups.Whenthey came in,either alone,in paris,or in groups,a lady went into the next room.Soon the students heard a scream,the noise of something falling and cry for help.All of this had beenpre-recorded on a tape-recorder.
Eight out of ten of the students taking thetest alone acted to help.Of the students in Paris,only two out of ten helped.Of thestudents in groups,none helped.
In other words,in a group,Americans oftenfail to act.They feel that others will act.They,themselves,needn’t.They donot feel any direct responsibility.
