Darley and Batson's study found that a crucial factor in determining whether or not the seminarians stopped to help the person in need was time pressures - specifically, whether they were running late to deliver a sermon. This suggests that external situational factors can have a stronger influence on helping behavior than internal factors such as religious education, age, or gender differences.
