The decision to intervene to prevent an inebriated peer from driving drunk is examined in a survey administered to one lower division and two upper division university classes. Of the 303 students who had been in a situation in which someone was too drunk to drive, 65% reported having intervened. Differences in the likelihood of intervention are examined through a log-linear analysis of the age, race and sex of the respondent and the potential drunk driver. The decision to intervene is seen as a naturally occurring form of helping behavior. Two hypotheses derived from the literature on helping behavior are examined: (1) persons are more likely to intervene with persons of lower status in terms of age, race and sex than with persons of higher status and (2) persons are more likely to intervene with those who are similar to themselves in terms of age, race and sex than with those who are different. Analysis reveals that persons are much more likely to experience drunk-driving situations in which the potential driver is similar to them in terms of these social characteristics than situations in which the driver is different. However, neither status differences nor similarity affects the likelihood of intervention.
在一项针对一个大学低年级班级和两个高年级班级进行的调查中，研究了干预以防止醉酒同伴酒后驾车这一行为。在303名曾遇到有人醉得无法驾车情况的学生中，65%的人报告称进行了干预。通过对受访者以及潜在醉酒驾驶者的年龄、种族和性别的对数线性分析，研究了干预可能性的差异。干预决定被视为一种自然发生的帮助行为。检验了从帮助行为文献中得出的两个假设：（1）就年龄、种族和性别而言，人们更有可能对地位较低的人进行干预，而不是对地位较高的人进行干预；（2）就年龄、种族和性别而言，人们更有可能对与自己相似的人进行干预，而不是对与自己不同的人进行干预。分析表明，与驾驶者不同的情况相比，人们更有可能遇到潜在驾驶者在这些社会特征方面与自己相似的酒后驾车情况。然而，地位差异和相似性均不影响干预的可能性。
