The article by Darley and Latané (1968) analyzes the way in which bystanders react in emergency situations, examining in particular the influences of the presence of other bystanders in these situations. The hypothesis put forward by Darley and Latané is that the greater the number of bystanders in an emergency situation, the slower and less likely a single bystander will respond since the responsibility to help is spread among bystanders. The subjects, 59 females and 13 males, who took part in this experiment were students of an introductory psychology course at New York University. Upon arrival, each subject was placed in a room alone and equipped with headphones and microphones. The experimenter reported that they were told that they would have to discuss personal issues faced in university life and that the discussion would be held over the intercom, to avoid embarrassment and maintain anonymity, and that the experimenter would not listen or inhibit the discussion with the presence of an external listener, although in reality this served to remove the obvious emergency responder (Darley & Latané, 1968). The organization was implemented through each of them. 31% of subjects who were with 4 others reported this at the same time, and 62% of people reported it the entire time. 95% of all subjects reported this within 3 minutes. And no one reported after three minutes. Darley and Latané (1968) concluded that an individual is less likely to respond if he or she thinks others are present. Calculations show that there is about the same chance that the victim will receive help from one passerby or from two. And the victim is more likely to receive help in the first minute from 1 or 2 bystanders than from 5. After the first minute of the crisis the victim is likely to receive help from at least one bystander in all three conditions. Subjects responded the same way: frequently and quickly, regardless of whether the other viewer was female, male, or a doctor
