Pro-social Behaviour: Latane & Darley's Sequence

Latane and Darley's (1970) model outlines the stages required for an individual to engage in pro-social behaviour. This sequence involves a series of decisions based on interpreting a situation.

Stages of Pro-social Behaviour Engagement

  1. A. Notice that something unusual is happening: The process begins with perceiving an event that deviates from the norm.
  2. D. Interpret the event as an emergency: The noticed event must be interpreted as potentially requiring intervention. Ambiguity can hinder this step.
  3. E. Accept responsibility for helping: The individual must feel personally accountable for intervening, overcoming the 'diffusion of responsibility' effect.
  4. B. Decide that you have the knowledge or skills needed to help: A self-assessment of competence occurs. Does the person believe they can effectively help?
  5. C. Decide to actually help: Following the successful navigation of the previous stages, the final step is the conscious decision to act and provide assistance.

Therefore, the correct sequence is A, D, E, B, C.
