We are most likely to help in an emergency ________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When we have no fear of negative evaluation (such as judgment or criticism from others) for offering help, we are more likely to intervene in an emergency situation. This is because we are not worried about how others will perceive us for helping, and can focus on the needs of the victim. Studies have shown that the presence of others, feelings of guilt, and ambiguity of the situation also play a role in helping behavior, but having no fear of negative evaluation is the strongest predictor of helping.
