Darley and Batson's study on the Good Samaritan situation found that helping behavior was significantly influenced by time pressures. Seminarians who were in a hurry were less likely to stop and offer aid to a person in need, compared to those who were not under time pressure. This study highlighted the impact of situational factors, rather than personal or moral qualities, on helping behavior.
