Understanding the Smokey Room Experiment

In the initial scenario of the Smokey Room Experiment, what is the main dilemma faced by the individual?

• Whether to leave the classroom immediately.

• Whether to report the smoke or ignore it.

• Whether to ask the teacher for help.

• Whether to open the windows.

What is the concept of 'diffusion of responsibility' as explained in the experiment?

• The tendency to act quickly in emergencies.

• The assumption that emergencies are not dangerous.

• The belief that others will take action in an emergency.

• The idea that individuals feel more responsible in a group.

According to the experiment, why might individuals in a group not act during an emergency?

• They feel embarrassed to act differently.

• They are waiting for instructions.

• They are unaware of the emergency.

• They are too busy with their tasks.

In the second experimental condition, what was the behavior of the actors towards the smoke?

• They ignored the smoke and continued working.

• They panicked and left the room.

• They opened the windows to let the smoke out.

• They reported the smoke immediately.

What does the Smokey Room Experiment suggest about trusting one's instincts in emergencies?
