"The Good Samaritan" is an experiment in which American psychologists determined whether haste really affects behavior? This experiment was based on the parable of the Good Samaritan. Parable: The parable tells how a man was attacked by robbers on his way to Jericho from Jerusalem. . They beat this man, robbed him and left him alone on the road. A priest passed by and pretended not to notice the man lying on the road. So another person passed by and just looked at him, and then a Samaritan passed by, who helped bandage the wounds and even later cared for the wounded man. It is believed that those who passed by were too busy with their thoughts on the topic of religion. Experiment: For students Theological seminary was assigned to conduct a conversation on the topic of the biblical legend of the Good Samaritan, known to them, then they moved to another building of the university. An actor was sitting on this passage, a man crouched and portrayed a person who needed help, without words. Some students were told that they needed to hurry - There is not much time to move to another building. And for others, on the contrary, there is no need to rush. According to the results of Darley and Batson’s experiment, it was shown that haste really determines whether a person will stop near someone in need of help or not. A person in a hurry is less inclined to provide help. Of those who were not in a hurry, more people came up than of those who had little time. On the eve of the experiment, a survey was conducted among these students on religious affiliation and the experiment showed that attitude to religion plays a role does not play (as is commonly thought). Thanks to this experiment, psychologists showed that people did not provide help because they were too busy with their thoughts (there were those who felt guilty at the same time - this leaves hope for their kindness), but still - However, they passed by, such preoccupation with thoughts can ultimately lead to truly shocking consequences. It seems interesting that, based on facts, our brain may not notice artificially created manipulations, without succumbing to emotions.
