Task: Text Categorization
Input (English): A recent article by Manning, Levine, and Collins questions the assumptions behind the study that first showed this effect. Among the props used in that study was a case of beer; another experiment in that study used a male pre-med student as a confederate. Among the findings of that Latane and Darley study were that 90% of subjects refused to exit a smoky room when two confederates ignored the smoke; 31% of subjects reported a seizure when they thought there were four other people around to do it; and nobody reported a lady falling and moaning about a hurt leg. First inspired by the murder of Kitty Genovese in the presence of apparently 38 possible witnesses, for ten points, identify this effect in which people stand around and assume someone else is going to do something about an emergency.
Output (English): Social Science
