Observer's reaction to the "innocent victim": compassion or rejection?
TL;DR: Under the guise of an experiment on the perception of emotional cues, 72 undergraduate female Ss observed a peer participating in a paired associate learning task and rejected and devalued the suffering victim when they believed that they would continue to see her suffer in a 2nd session, and when they were powerless to alter the victim's fate.
