Card 2 / 25: In order to test a hypothesis that the presence of others inhibits a person from intervening in an emergency situation, a fake smoke was introduced in a room where one or more unsuspecting experimental participants thought they were involved in a different experiment. The results showed that people were less likely to report the smoke when they were with others than when they were alone.
A) The results were consistent with the hypothesis; but the hypothesis needs to be tested in other emergency situations as well.
B) The results are consistent with the hypothesis; but there is an alternative explanation of the results.
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B
