Chapter . Bystander Intervention: Baby in Hot Car

Video Summary

People tend to see themselves as good, moral individuals, and firmly believe that they will step up and do the right thing when faced with difficult situations. It’s not always easy to turn those intentions into actions, however. John Quinones and crew observe people’s reactions to an emergency situation. He found that many weren’t sure what to do in the situation of a baby left crying in a hot car.

Correct!
Sorry, your answer is incorrect. They didn’t notice the baby.
A belief that a situation is not really an emergency can prevent helping behavior, but that’s not the first problem the crew has.
Being unsure how to respond could inhibit helping behavior, but that’s not the first step in the intervention process.
Being a parent may prime prosocial roles, something which does increase the likelihood people will help, but the lack of such a prime is not a barrier per se.

Correct!
Sorry, your answer is incorrect. They play sounds of a crying baby through hidden speakers.

Correct!
Sorry, your answer is incorrect. She did not take responsibility.
She never got to a point where she decided she needed to help, so the questions of how to help, and evaluating costs that might make helping difficult, never came up.
She may not have thought the baby’s cries indicated an emergency, which would lead her to avoid helping, but her statement that she believed someone else was present with the baby suggests another reason for her inaction.
She never got to a point where she decided she needed to help, so the questions of how to help, and evaluating costs that might make helping difficult, never came up.

Correct!
Sorry, your answer is incorrect. The statement “I needed to ask someone for advice on what to do” most closely mirrors her rationale for not opening the car door.
This choice reflects a belief that she didn’t interpret the situation as an emergency, but the video indicates she is distressed and concerned about the situation and is going to call her mother for advice on how to proceed.
While the woman does indicate that “It’s not [my] car”, which might imply that it’s not her responsibility to act, it’s not clear that the woman is thinking that way. She feels she needs to do something, and was preparing to call her mother before being interviewed.
Neither A nor C are correct options; the woman seems to recognize the situation is problematic, and feels responsible enough to call her mother for advice on what to do.
