When Maureen Connolly was 33—and seven months pregnant—she jumped out of her seat at a crowded restaurant, grabbed a toddler from a stranger's arms, and performed a lifesaving maneuver that prevented the child from choking. Ask her what made her do it, and she humbly says anyone else would have done the same.
But not everyone would have. When it comes to answering the call of duty, many people would rather let it go to voicemail. On the ABC show What Would You Do? hidden cameras capture nice, ordinary folks ignoring the bullying of an overweight stranger or saying nothing as a waitress is sexually harassed. "Fear, conformity to authority, and aversion to risk run deep," says Frank Farley, Ph.D., a psychologist at Temple University in Philadelphia. "Most people don't want to take heroic action if it will put them in danger."
