I forget the name I am very tired no sleep for over 24 hours now, and ALL Natural except coffee before people infer. I am sure it was Mildram not
Nildram anyhow similar case.
A well dressed man in a suit, briefcase lays down in a busy street and pretends to be unconscious of dead.
The next day or later that day the same man dresses an Tramp looking scruffy, smelling.
The experiment was to see the difference in how long it took for bystanders or rather pedestrians to help. Offer assistance or check if the man was
well.
I am sure most people can already have a rough guess.
Look it up/search it is amazing.
The Experiment you show above was actually triggered by an real life event.
In a green lawned area between two blocks of flats in I am sure New York, maybe Washington an Woman was attacked, and beaten and murdered.
But the murderer did not do it quickly and she fought and screamed much indeed.
Many people put their heads out of the windows, from their flats/apartments to see what was happening, all the while this lady was screaming and
fighting off the attacker.
When many people looked down opening their window though they saw others doing the same.
So no one actually called the police.
In the police investigation afterwards Psychologists were intrigued as to how happened, and it kick started a lot of Mildram, Nildram's and others
work, esp in group behavioural dynamics etc.
In the case of the murdered lady when interviewed there was the small percentage who were honest and said they were scared to get involved or "didnt
want any hassle/trouble" (just to pick up a freaking phone!!!) but most said they didnt do anything as they assumed somebody else would or had
already, that is call the police.
This is very indicative of our belief systems, and how even false ones control us when we have evidense to the contrary, that is we know the behaviour
is "bad" for us or others, but as it is a beleif it is difficult to change.
Even though she kept screaming and fighting very loud indeed for 10-15 mins the initial choice/belief was not overiden by one out of if memory serves
me right (over a 20 yrs ago read it so sorry for errors) 60-90 witnesses.
Very similar to the video as shown above with the fire in the interview when people are alone, or in a group and how they respond.
WE should ALL take REAL note of this, as I was trying to say earlier, this Sheeple or deferred responsibility habit of humans is the main weakness
Nutters and people like Hitler took advantage of.
Tragically though the poor young lady was strangled I think to death just a few yards from many people who could have helped her, one thing did come
from it, a greater understanding of human dynamics and the mind, which has helped many people since, And probably saved many many lives.
An unwilling hero in a way.
