The good Samaritan study conducted by Darley and Batson(1973) examined helping behavior in seminary students at Princeton University. These students were either rushed or not rushed to get to an appointment. Results of this study showed that
1.participants who viewed religion as a means toward personal salvation were less likely to help someone than participants who viewed religion as a mean toward moral and spiritual values.
2.when rushed, only participants who viewed religion as a means toward personal salvation were less likely to help someone.
3.when rushed, only participants who viewed religion as a means toward moral and spiritual values were less likely to help someone
4.the nature of participants' religious orientations did not predict helping behavior; only being rushed or not predicted helping.
