ABC’s What Would You Do? is a reality show that explores people’s reactions to ethical and social dilemmas through hidden-camera scenarios. Hosted by John Quiñones, the program demonstrates how ordinary individuals respond to injustice, discrimination, or moral conflicts — bringing core concepts of social psychology to life.
The show provides striking examples of psychological phenomena such as the bystander effect, social norms, helping behavior, and empathy. Participants, often unknowingly, make choices shaped by social pressure, group dynamics, and personal values.
Such productions help our students connect psychological theory with everyday life and develop a deeper understanding of the complex social processes behind human behavior.
🎬 We encourage our students to watch What Would You Do? episodes through a social psychology lens and discuss the reactions they observe using scientific concepts.
