Saturday Blood & Gore

[presta]

I did read somewhere that the notorious incident you refer to wasn't quite how it's recounted. Apparently The so-say witnesses had heard a noise or shout,rather than truly witnessed the horrific incident, which isn't quite the same thing. After googling, it seems the victim was a Kitty Genovese, and the reporting was of doubtful accuracy, despite being repeated in many psychology books.

All that said, there can be reluctance to help / get involved.

It's a while since I read about it now, but as I recall there was quite a lot of spinning done after the event by the embarrassed parties. Darley and Latane's research is independent of all that though, it was done in laboratory experiments.

At least they aren't imposing their beliefs on people who don't share them.

No yoga being one of them, if I remember Deborah Frances-White correctly. (If she pops up on Radio 4/4 Extra again, have a listen.)
