The main dependent variable in Latané and Darley's experiment on helping in emergency situations was the time that elapsed until the participant left to get help. The researchers manipulated the group size (independent variable) to see if it would have an effect on the time it took for participants to seek help. Therefore, the time it took for participants to leave was the focus of the study and the dependent variable.
