Responses to ppl in need Piliavin - looks at how ppl respond to Levine - looking at cultures and how
those in need specifically at how they that influences levels of helping
use the cost-reward model to decide behaviour. Found that they vary

factors that affect responses to those simpatia cultures of Latin America
in need. and Spain.
Attention Moray - provides strong info into Simons + Chabris - thorough
auditory selective attention. Confirms demonstration of visual attention and
the cocktail party effect and explains selective attention. Confirms the
that we can focus out auditory phenomenon of inattentional
attention on specific things. Names blindness. Not all info in our visual
and affective instructions are field gets processed and it doesn-t
important enough to break through matter if factors are introduced as we
the attentional barrier still miss info.
Measuring differences Gould - Yerkes tried to measure Hancock - suggest that it is possible
differences of ppl using intelligence to carry out a quantitative analysis of
tests and said that ethnicity would how ppl use language and that, if
make a difference to the doing this, psychos use language in
measurement. Measuring differences measurably distinctive ways.
is still difficult on a large scale and
has disastrous consequences.
Moral development Kohlberg - stage theory identifies Lee - can be affected by culture and
how moral thinking changes over values. Gets stronger with age and
time. His research was limited to one there are age related changes in
culture but he did follow up in other moral development
cultures and this helped him claim
that it was a universal theory. Moral
development is the same for
everyone and sequential.
