Subject:  Help with Suspected Plagiarism

Perhaps Psychnet Readers can help.  I received a student paper which
looks like an article copied from Psychology Today or Scientific
American on bystander helping in emergencies.  I would suspect it was
originally written around 1984 or later.  I've checked Psychology
Today and can't find it there.  Anyone out there know of a possible
source?  This looks to be a piece for the lay audience, not a JPSP type
article--it's beautifully written.  The title of the paper turned into
me is "Social Inhibition of Helping and Reaction to Emergencies."
A little of it is lifted out of the Latane' and Nida Psych. Bul.
article from 1981, but other parts seem to have come from elsewhere.

Please send suggestions to Arnie Kahn
