This is really fascinating research. Do you know if any experiments have been done that involve a friend or relative being on the tracks? I wonder if the actor would be more blameworthy for self-interestedly helping someone that's close to them. Or if the actor would be less blameworthy because people think there is a sense of duty to one's friends. My intuition says the latter, but I'd be interested in the empirical findings. Wow.
