Question:
4. Previous research has indicated that individuals are more likely to receive help when the number of bystanders is small rather than large. As part of your dissertation, you would like to replicate this effect. You have operationalized receiving help as the amount of time it takes for a bystander to help you. You will count the number of bystanders present. You decide that you will use the actual number of bystanders and a new variable that groups the number of bystanders into clusters (e.g., 1–4, 5–8, etc.). What types of analyses could you perform to examine the relationship between the bystander variables and the amount of time it takes to obtain help? How could you analyze the data to examine the effect of bystanders on receiving help? You now decide that you will also create a variable that indicates if help was received at all (e.g., yes/no). How can you now analyze the relationship and group differences using this data? Outline all of the steps you would take to answer these questions.
