Question

Researchers tested the hypothesis that rates of helping strangers would be higher in countries that valued simpatía. They staged helping incidents in twenty-three large cities and observed whether or not people helped. These researchers found __________. Select one: a. helping was dramatically higher in those countries that valued simpatía b. helping tended to be higher in those countries that valued simpatía, but was also high in some countries where this was not a value c. no difference in this study, because the helping examined was of strangers rather than of in-group members d. no differences in this study, because they examined helping in an urban rather than in a rural setting

Answer 1

Answer:

b.

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that these researchers found that helping tended to be higher in those countries that valued sympathy (simpatía), but was also high in some countries where this was not a value. This therefore shows that the act of helping depends on the level of sympathy in each individual and not an overall culture, which is why there was not a direct correlation between the level of a country with the amount of people that would actually provide help.
