Abstract
The power of several well-known and important situational factors to affect behavior is assessed in terms usually reserved for measuring the power of dispositions. The linear effects of incentive for counterattitudinal advocacy on attitude change, of degree of "hurry" and number of onlookers on bystander intervention, and of proximity of authority and "victim" on obedience average slightly less than .40. This magnitude is comparable to that of important dispositional effects. (23 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)Keywords
