Bystander Effect02:09

Bystander Effect

9.6K
The discussion of bullying highlights the problem of witnesses not intervening to help a victim. This is a common occurrence, as the following well-publicized event demonstrates. In 1964, in Queens, New York, a 19-year-old woman named Kitty Genovese was attacked by a person with a knife near the back entrance to her apartment building and again in the hallway inside her apartment building. When the attack occurred, she screamed for help numerous times and eventually died from her stab wounds.

Reason and Intuition01:37

Reason and Intuition

6.5K
The human brain processes information for decision-making using one of two routes: an intuitive system and a rational system (Epstein, 1994; popularized by Kahneman, 2011 as System 1 and System 2, respectively). The intuitive system is quick, impulsive, and operates with minimal effort, relying on emotions or habits to provide cues for what to do next, while the rational system is logical, analytical, deliberate, and methodical. Research in neuropsychology suggests that the...

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

39.2K
People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

The Availability Heuristic01:08

The Availability Heuristic

6.1K
A heuristic is a general problem-solving framework (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974). You can think of these as mental shortcuts that are used to solve problems. Different types of heuristics are used in different types of situations, and the impulse to use a heuristic occurs when one of five conditions is met (Pratkanis, 1989):

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition

78
A revisionist approach to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development has brought new insights that challenge and reinterpret his established ideas. Piaget proposed that the formal operational stage, emerging in adolescence, represents the culmination of cognitive maturity. During this stage, individuals are said to develop abstract thinking, engage in systematic problem-solving, and show a form of egocentrism, believing others are as preoccupied with their behavior as they are...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Secondary explosions occur in about 70 per 1,000 bombing incidents, challenging current "Stage-and-Wait" protocols for Emergency Medical Services (EMS). Rethinking these safety guidelines is crucial for balancing responder safety and timely casualty care.

Area of Science:

  • Disaster Medicine
  • Emergency Medical Services
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Terrorist attacks with secondary explosive devices led to the "Stage-and-Wait" protocol, delaying Emergency Medical Services (EMS) entry until scenes are safe.
  • Current protocols lack evidence on responder risk and patient outcomes, creating an ethical dilemma between safety and timely care.
  • Operational factors, like the timing of bomb squad arrival versus critical injury treatment, complicate decision-making.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the frequency of secondary explosions in terrorist attacks over the past 20 years.
  • To explore the ethical challenges and ramifications of current safety protocols.
  • To inform a potential evidence-based review of existing guidelines for EMS response to bombing incidents.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Global Terrorism Database (GTD) as the primary data source.
  • Analyzed worldwide bombing incidents over a 20-year period.

Main Results:

  • Secondary explosions were identified in approximately 70 per 1,000 bombing incidents.
  • This frequency was consistent across various regions and countries studied.

Conclusions:

  • The study emphasizes the need to re-evaluate the "Stage-and-Wait" paradigm.
  • Recommends multi-sectoral expert conferences to discuss risks (70 per 1,000 incidents) and ethical considerations.
  • Advocates for a balanced approach to ensure both EMS responder safety and improved casualty survival rates.
