Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The perspective being taken is interactionist, as it proposes that both situational factors (i.e. how noticeable the emergency is) and individual differences (i.e. level of compassion) interact to influence helping behavior. The other options (cognitive, cultural, social) do not specifically capture this interactive perspective.
