All of us have examples of when at a sacrifice to ourselves we helped others. We also have examples when there was a need and we didn’t help. Think of those times and give a personal example of when you helped and another personal example of when you didn’t help. The text describes a variety of factors that impact when and why a person helps or doesn’t help. There are all kinds of reasons for helping or not helping. A few possible reasons are listed below.

Reasons You Didn’t Help:

• You were in a hurry
• You had another obligation you couldn’t be late for
• You didn’t feel you had the skills or abilities to help
• You mind was focused on something else
• You were uncomfortable or fearful because the person was different in some way from the people you usually associate with
• The problem was happening in a dangerous area and would have put you at risk
• It appeared others would help
• You assumed others would help
• You didn’t think it was your responsibility
• You didn’t realize there was a problem until after it was too late to help
• You were unsure if there was a problem
• You were unsure how you could help
• You needed time to think through what you should do and by that time the opportunity to help had passed
• You were in the midst of some major stressors that made it impossible for you to help
• You thought the person having the problem was experiencing it because of their own negligence or lack of planning and you thought they needed to deal with the consequences on their own
• The person was the opposite sex and you didn’t think it was appropriate for you to help

Reasons You Did Help:

It was a friend or family member you cared about

• You were worried what others would think if you didn’t help
• You’d want somebody to help you if you were in a similar situation
• You had been helped by someone when you had a problem and so you felt you needed to return the favor
• You’d feel bad if you didn’t help
• You’d worry about the person if you didn’t help
• You’d violate your values if you didn’t help
• You feel good about yourself when you help
• You just help without really thinking about it because that’s who you are
• The person seemed distraught and so you wanted to help
• You think people need to help others more
• You felt you were supposed to help in this particular instance

Reread the full text of the study you selected in Week One. Evaluate the study and write a critique, using the textbook and relevant journal articles to support your analysis of the study. Use the following section headings and content in your paper.

1. Introduction

• State the purpose of the paper. Clearly identify the study being critiqued, by title and authors. Summarize the research question, hypothesis (if a quantitative study), and background information on the topic from the study’s literature review. Did the authors present a well-balanced summary of current knowledge about the topic? Is there any apparent bias in the literature review?

1. Methods

• Differentiate the research design (experimental or non-experimental) and approach (qualitative or quantitative), sampling method, and data collection methods. Indicate the sample size, variables and measures (if a quantitative study), statistical tests (if a quantitative study), coding and analysis procedures (if a qualitative study), and any assumptions made by the researchers. Were the procedures chosen appropriate for the study? What alternative methods would you suggest?

1. Ethical Aspects

• Analyze ethical issues pertaining to this study. Did the researchers explicitly address ethical issues in the article? If not, was there evidence in the report that the participants’ safety and confidentiality were protected? Was an approval process by an Institutional Review Board or similar ethics review committee mentioned? Were any of the practices ethically questionable (deception, coercion, etc.)?

1. Results

• Present a summary of the results of the analysis performed in the study. Did the authors keep their interpretations and conclusions separate from the analysis results (evidence)?

1. Discussion and Conclusion

• Analyze and critique the conclusions drawn by the researchers. Do the conclusions follow logically from the results of the analysis? Evaluate the overall efficacy of the research study by identifying the strengths and weaknesses of aspects of its design and implementation. Identify the limitations noted by the researchers and add any limitations you see that were not mentioned in the article. Describe the directions for future research proposed by the authors and evaluate their appropriateness. Recommend at least one idea for a future study that will overcome some of the limitations of this study. Keep in mind that this suggested future study will serve as the basis for your Final Paper.
