Historical Context: 

What kind of information would increase the intent to intervene in child abuse episodes? Sixty-four university students randomly viewed one of four 3 minute videotapes. An affect group received information about emotional impact of child abuse; a cognitive group received factual information on child abuse; an affective/cognitive group received a combination of factual and emotional impact information; and a Non-Relevant group received information on the effects of colour on children's abilities. Immediately after viewing the videotapes, participants were given a series of hypothetical abuse scenarios and asked to indicate the likelihood that they would intervene. Overall there was no significant difference between groups, although some significant differences were observed in individual scenarios.
