This was done when numerous studies and experiments were conducted by Darley and Latane within 12 years as an attempt to discover the reasons in why no one had helped. (bystander effect). Darley and Latane staged many emergency situations and placed their participants within others and alone to identify and explain their responses to the emergency and how often they wood take intervention measures. The results usually provided evidence that by considerable margin the presence of other bystanders inhibited the participants/ bystanders from helping. Darley and Latane provided their participants with questionnaires while shortly after staging an emergency situation but filling the room with smoke. The results from this test then determined that when the participants were alone 75 percent reported the smoke, however when in a group with two other individuals only 38 percent of the participants reported the emergency. Only 10 percent of the participants in the final group reported the emergency as two confederates noted but ignored the smoke. ( Miles, Klaus and Wolfgang
