- Variables

- 4,450 Passengers

- PILIAVIN
- 1) If an ill person would get more help than a drunk person
- 2) If people would help someone of their own race more than some
- 3) If the intervention of a model would influence others helping behaviour
- 4) If size of group is influences helping behaviour

- Time of day
- Train route kept the same (59th > 125th)
- Where they fell > Critical Area
- Where the observers sat > Adjacent area
- Four people in each group
- Sampling Method
- Opportunity Sampling
- Observed people on the train at the train
- Fairly Diverse - Even mixture of Black and White people

- Same train journey for 3 months.

- Weaknesses of the sample
- Same train journey for 3 months.
- If passengers see the experiment twice they may see demand characteristics
- Same train journey for 3 months.
- Weaknesses of the sample

- Time of day is bias as passengers will mostly consist of unemployed, young or older people..
- Same train journey for 3 months.
- Weaknesses of the sample
- Strengths of obtaining the sample this way
- Quick and easy
- Wider range of people

- Wider range of people
- Quick and easy
- Weaknesses of obtaining the sample this way
- Breaking ethical guidelines
