She parked her car a number of feet from her apartment when all of a sudden, a man named Winston Moseley chased her down and stabbed her in the back twice. Due to the excruciating pain, Kitty screamed for help and a neighbour responded shouting at the criminal "Let that girl alone!"Immediately after getting the attention of the criminal, Winston fled the scene and left the girl crawling towards her apartment.]]> 2017-09-29 00:41:48 UTC https://padlet.com/coletteod2/ci19gswy97yp/wish/192304175 coletteod2 https://padlet.com/coletteod2/ci19gswy97yp/wish/192304658 Several witnesses reported to have seen Winston fled the scene with his car and returned ten minutes after the response of one of the neighbors. After seeing his prey lying on the ground almost unconscious, he stabbed the already wounded Kitty Genovese several times more. After this, he stole the money of the victim and sexually assaulted Ms Genovese. A neighbor phoned the police and an ambulance arrived but was too late to help the assaulted Kitty Genovese.]]> 2017-09-29 00:46:22 UTC https://padlet.com/coletteod2/ci19gswy97yp/wish/192304658 coletteod2 https://padlet.com/coletteod2/ci19gswy97yp/wish/192305483 Darley and Latane (1968) conducted an experiment in which college students would overhear an epileptic seizure over an intercom, in what they thought was a discussion about personal problems. They found that the individual’s feelings of personal responsibility and speed of reporting the seizure were lowered considerably when they were in a group with one or two more students who would have also heard the seizure]]> 2017-09-29 00:53:27 UTC https://padlet.com/coletteod2/ci19gswy97yp/wish/192305483 coletteod2 https://padlet.com/coletteod2/ci19gswy97yp/wish/192305626 Piliavin et al (1969) also conducted a study on helping behaviour, where a model would collapse on an underground train, either holding a cane (ill condition) or a bottle in a brown paper bag (drunk condition). Piliavin et al found that the model was more likely to be helped in the ill condition, and that the longer the victim was not helped, the more likely it was that someone would leave the area in which the emergency was happening. However, they did not find the diffusion of responsibility effect as Darley and Latane did. They had another model sat on the train ready to help the victim after a certain amount of time ready to help the victim if no one else did, but they rarely had to do this.]]> 2017-09-29 00:54:39 UTC https://padlet.com/coletteod2/ci19gswy97yp/wish/192305626
