Would you jump in to stop an assault? In a 2019 study published in the journal American Psychologist, researchers in Britain and the Netherlands reviewed surveillance footage of 200 violent altercations in three countries and found that bystanders had intervened nine out of 10 times. In many of the instances, several strangers worked together to calm a fight. The authors of the study found little variation in the rates of intervention in the three cities — Amsterdam; Cape Town; and Lancaster, England — suggesting that the human impulse to help strangers despite risks to one’s own personal safety is universal. Richard Philpot, the lead author of the study, said the uniform rate of interventions was especially surprising given the climate of fear in Cape Town, a city with a comparatively higher rate of violent crime. “Now that we can examine real-life public conflicts on a large scale, we see that people actually help out a lot,” said Professor Philpot, a social psychologist at Lancaster University. “This is certainly reassuring, to know that others around do not exclusively inhibit helping, but are a resource for good.”
Would You Jump In to Stop an Assault? A recent video showed several men seeming to ignore an anti-Asian attack in Midtown. Yet research shows that most people are more than willing to intervene and help someone.

Would you jump in to stop an assault? By Andrew Jacobs New York Times,Updated April 3, 2021, 3:56 p.m. Email to a Friend Imagine that youâre walking on the street and see a man viciously beating an older woman. What would you, just a passerby, do? That question â about the ethical responsibility to help a stranger in distress and the dynamics that prevent people from acting â has been the focus of research for decades and helps inform some of the debate this past week around two chilling incidents. In one, a man pummels and chokes a subway passenger in New York into unconsciousness; in the other, an assailant on a busy Midtown street in Manhattan knocks a Filipino immigrant to the ground and then repeatedly kicks her head.
