5. Case-Based Question ;
Aruna and Madhav are psychology professors who are very interested in the role of the
bystander in the prevalence of bullying in schools. In order to study this phenomenon,
they decide to do a preliminary study with the help of their students. They plan to first
create a list of interview questions based on the existing research on the topic. Then they
and their students would go to all the schools in their neighbourhood to survey the
opinions of students, teachers and principals. After class, a bunch of students were
 chatting about what they thought about the topic. Hamid believes that people are
inherently good and that bystanders would usually choose to make the healthier choice
and do the right thing. Roma felt that this was too simplistic and subjective. She believes
that it is important to rigorously study the relationship between how the students act and
their environment by measuring what can be observed. Both are excited to begin the
research.

following questions:
