Question

Shawn is driving when he notices a car broken down on the side of the road with a woman sitting in the driver's seat. Based on what you know about altruism, bystander intervention, and helping behavior, when is Shawn most likely to pull over to help the woman?

Answer 1

Shawn is likely to stop to help the woman as soon as he realizes she's in trouble.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both altruism, spectator intervention, and helping behavior have one thing in common, which is helping behavior to fellow members in distress or in need. Both approaches refer to an attitude of solidarity opposite to selfishness, similar to the love of neighbor approached by Christianity. Based on this, considering that Shawn is an altruistic person who has the helping behavior and will interfere with the woman's problem shown in the question above, we can conclude that Shawn will stop the car to help the woman as soon as he realizes she is needing help.

Answer 2

The correct answer would be, Shawn would pull over as soon as he sees the broken car.

Step-by-step explanation:

Altruism is the general concept of helping others and finding happiness in it. It is basically the moral practice of concern. It is the act of kindness for the concern of happiness with human beings or animals, to get both moral and spiritual satisfaction. So on the basis of this concept, bystander intervention and helping behavior, Shawn is most likely to stop his car as soon as he sees a car being broken. He would immediately come out of his car to help the persons in the car who might be injured because of the accident.
