My name is Robert R. Holt. I am Professor of Psychology at

! New York University; my specialties are clinical and social psychology.

I Before obtaining my Ph.D. in psychology at Harvard University, I worked i

l as an intervieuer for the Elmo Roper organization and briefly ran a

small independent polling organization, the New England Public Opinion

}

Research Association. My first post Ph.D. job was as a Study Director in the Division of Program Surveys, B. A.E. , in the U.S. Department of l Agriculture. Af ter World War II, I learned clinical psychology at

} the Menninger Foundation in Topeka, Kansas, where I subsequently became Director of the Psychological Staff. Since 1953, I have been at New York University, where I founded the Research Center for Mental Health, and directed it for about fifteen years. A principal theme of my i scientific work has been the prediction of human behavior, on which '

l I have published several papers and a book, Methods in C1 Lnical Psychology, Vol. II: Prediction and Research, New York: Plenum (1978).

I participated in the discussion of psychological stress in the

! area of the Three Mile Island nuclear power plants in McLean, Virginia, ,

held by the MITRE Corporation, and was asked to prepare a commentary on l that discussion presenting my theory of the impact of radiological accidents on psychological health. This commentary was submitted to che Nuclear Regulatory Commission and appears in NUREG/CP-0026. I also l made a thorough study of the relevant research on the TMI accident, and l

j most recently was invited to present a survey of that material at the 1

! International Forum on Nuclear Energy in Middletown, Pennsylvania, March t

28-30, 1983.

e I have been asked to comment in this testimony on: a) the utility of sample surveys as a means of predicting humar. behavior in general, and of predicting Ge responses of people to an accident at Indian Point in particular; and, b) on the research literature on " bystander behavior".

I have been given to read the testimony presented in this proceeding on these subjects by Drs. Lecker and Dynes.

A The Utility of Sample Surveys Surveys typically collect several types of data:

a) factual information that can be directly reported, (for example, "Have you received an information brochure about Indian Point?");

b) knowledge possessed by the respondent, indicating

! his or her degree of acquaintance with relevant data, (for example, "What are you supposed to do if you hear a siren warning of an accident at Indian Point?");

c) beliefs, (for example, "Can radiation cause cancer?");

d) attitudes, (for example, "How much trust do you have in statements about nuclear power made by Con Edison?");

e) values, (for example, "Which is more important, a man's duty to his job, or to his f amily?");

f) statements of intention, (for example, "What do you plan to do to prepare your family for a possible evacuation of this area?"); and, g) statements of probable future behavior under hypothetical circumstances, (for example, "What would you do if there were an accident at Indian Point and people within 5 miles were advised to stay indoors with windows shut?") .

It should be svident that no sharp dividing lines can be drawn between these classes of questions and the kinds of data they provide.

Moreover, the above listing is not exhaustive or definitive. My point is to illustrate some of the many kinds of data that can be obtained from surveys, and to suggest that such data play different roles in a scientific attempt to predict behavior. Consider the issue of greatest interest, be-havior at the time of a possible accident serious enough to require the evacuation of a given region.

One possible way to go about it is to ask people directly to predict what they would do, for example, if asked to evacuate. Ordinarily, a psychologist or sociologist does not take the responses at face value, translating them directly into his own predictions. In predicting elections, for example, the forecaster often does not report the raw percentages, but takes into account the degree of a respondent's declared intention to vote the strength of feeling for and against the candidates, and trends over time (which may affect the interpretation of the undecided vote) . Similarly, in attempting to predict how well an evacuation plan could be carried out, one probably would want to use information of all the kinds just described, and not simply rely on the respondents' own predictions.

As to the validity of information gained from surveys, it is difficult to give a simple answer, since the kinds of information are so variegated.

Sample surveys are in onny respects like a census, except that they use l

l statistical sampling techniques to draw representative small groups of a population of interest from whose responses predictions accurately can be l

made about an entire population. The technology of sampling is highly l

developed and amazingly precise. Even 40 years ago, when I was conducting surveys of the American public's buying of war bonds for the U. S. Treasury Department, we were able to draw samples of about 1,000 respondents and project from their answers the amount of bonds sold in a drive to within a few percentage points. The basic technique of probability sampling is to give every member of a population an equal chance to be included. And that can be done so accurately that the degree of precision attained is a simple function of the number of persons in the sample.

In recent years, methodological research has shown that a popula-tion can be sampled to a degree of adequacy satisfactory for most purposes by taking a sample of telephone numbers, since 97% of households in the U. S. now have telephones. The validity of data obtained by this cost-effective method has proved to be equal to that from f ace-to-f ace interviews.

When it comes to obtaining demographic information, like the number of families having children in school, the numbers of persons in an area who own cars or who live alone, there simply is no better way to find out than to ask people as a census does. The amount of lying or dissimulation on most items of information that are not self-incriminating is truly negligible. There can hardly be any doubt that emergency planning could be carried out more effectively in the presence of full information of this relatively objective kind than without it. Unfortunately, the U. S.

Census does not provide a great deal of the kinds of information needed.

For example, the census does not tell how many persons in the EPZ do not have a fluent grasp of spoken or written English; hence, we do not know how many pecple would be unable to read the information brochures dis-tributed by the licenctes or to understand emergency instructions given in English over the EBS. The only feasible way to estimate the size of

l the problem is a sample survey.

Likewise, there is no better way to encertain a person's beliefs than to ask him or her directly. Values and attitudes can to some extent be inferred indirectly from observations of behavior, but few psychologists would rely wholly on such observations if it were possible to ask questions.

Statements of intention, especially intentions to buy or save, are considered such a valuable basis for economic prediction that both the l

government and industry have invested a good deal of monty in annual surveys of spending and saving behavior. The best known are those conducted for many years under the direction of the late George Katona at the University of Michigan's Survey Research Center, which began during the years when Katona and his colleagues worked at the Division of Program Surveys in Washington. I had the privilege of working with Dr. Katona on the first of these studies.

If the question is asked, "Hcw well can overt behavior be predicted from attitudes?" an answer is given by Cialdini, Petty and Cacioppo (1981) in the authoritative Annual Survey of Psychology. They write: The attitude-behavior problem has continued to generate a great deal of research, but no longer are researchers questioning jj; attitudes predict behaviors, they are investigating when attitudes predict behaviors. ... attitudes have a great deal of predictive utility." The research of Ajzen and Fishbein (1977) in particular shows that poor results in past studies are largely attributable to a failure to zero in on the particular behavior precisely enough. Thus, one could not predict very accurately how many people would evacuate an area in case of a specific accident scenario on the basis of answers to a general question about attitudes toward nuclear power. Asking something like, "What would you do--go about your usual business, stay indoors, or leave the area--

f

in case of an accident at Indian Point?" would permit somewhat more accurate prediction tecause it would match the behavior in terms of what Ajzen and Fishbein call action (the specific act of evacuating) and context (that of an accident at Indian Point), but is still vague on target and time, and the context lacks specificity. The Suffolk County survey is exemplary in this respect, fcr (in terms of context) it spells out a series of precise accident snenarios, and in follow-up questions it clarifies target (where the respondent would go and by what means). Only the time referent is necessarily unspecified; it is doubtful that it would have made much differ-ence if the question had included something like this: " Suppose that Shoreham were to start operations next month, and three weeks later there were an accident..."

In short, it means nothing to invoke a vague concept of " authenticity,"

when research has zeroed in on the specific aspects of behavior that must be invoked in a question to maximize predictability. Indeed, when there is a good match between attitude questions and the behavior being predicted as to action, target, context, and time , it is possible to predict behavior in situations the respondent has not yet experienced. The objection by Drs.

Lecker and Dynes to the use of sample surveys to aid in emergency planning on the ground that the situation is too hypothetical thus lacks cogency.

l Consider the Suffolk County survey: questions about hypothetical accidents at Shoreham produced a set of answers about expected evacuction behavior that show a close match to the actual number and pattern of spontaneous i

l evacuation during the Three Mile Island emergency. That is rather strong l

l t

evidence for their presumptive validity.

The Suffolk-Shoreham study gives a good example of the difference made by specificity concerning the hypothetical situation. In the first scenario presented, respondentr. were asked to imagine that as a result of l

an accident at the Shoreham nuclear plant, persons with 5 miles of the plant were advised to, remain indoors; 40% of those surveyed living within that area said that they would evacuate, plus 40% of those living from 6 to 10 miles from the plant. When the scenario closely matched the actual accident at TMI (pregnant women and pre-school children asked to evacuate within 5 miles, those from 6 to 10 miles advised to remain indoors), the percentages indicating they would leave the region went up to 57 and 52.

These rather closely match the actual figures obtained by Flynn (1979) in a telephone survey at TMI: within 5 miles, 60% evacuated and from 6 to 10 miles , 44%. (In the next more remote zone, the figures are 30% for Shoreham and 32% for TMI--a close correspondence, even though the areas were not defined in exactly the same way.) Note also that Houts et al. (1981) report "approximately 60 percent" of the respondents in their telephone survey of the 5--mile zone had evacuated. It is striking that the Suffolk results from the TMI-like scenario more closely match the actual TMI results than they do the results from their own, slightly less severe, first scenario.

The TMI data are noteworthy also for the degree to which the two independent telephone curveys replicate one another, though they were done at slightly different times. Even the ressons given for leaving shoved great a3reement: Flynn Houts Situation seemed dangerous 91% 82%

Information on situation was confusing 83% 78%

To protect children 61% 50%

l To protect pregnancy 8% 8%

To avoid confusion of forced evacuation 76% 68%

Pressure from someone outside family 28% 22%

Trip planned before incident 5% 7%

Other (free response) <1% <1%

It is true that the less time elapsed between the survey and the behavior to be predicted, the better the prediction (Davidson & Jaccard, 1979; Schwartz, 1978). The implication is that surveys like the Suffolk County study need to be done frequently. I would advise an annual survey in the Indian Point area; if the results of the second study are very close to those of the first, and if relevant conditions in the area do not change markedly, a third study could be deferred somewhat.

It might be added that a considerable body of research has vali-dated Fishbein and Ajzen's (1975,1980) theory that the best predictor of behavior is the actor's intention to perform the behavior. It has been successfully applied to predicting family planning behavior (Davidson

& Jaccard,1979; Vinocur-Kaplan,1978), use of alcohol by adults (Kilty, 1978) and adolescents (Schlegel, Crawford & Sanborn,1977), and voting on a nuclear power plant initiative (Bowman & Fishbein, 1978).

The principal alternative theory attracting current research effort in this field is that of Triandis (1977,1980) . It uses a com-i bination of a person's intentions, habits (of ten measured by a record of past behavior), psychological arousal, and facilitating conditions in the environment. Though some research supports this theory, in the only direct comparison of predicticas based on the two approaches, the Fishbein-Ajzen theory proved superior in predicting students' church attendance (Brinberg , 1979) . Note that even in this alternative theory (that of Triandis,1977), predictions are based on the past behavior in the same situation of the particular persons in question, not that of other people j in other situations, as is advocated by Dr. Dynes. It would be impossible to apply the Triandis theory to predicting evacuation behavior at Indian Po in t , since there is no history of such previous behavior by the persons

involved on which to build.

Let us consider, by contrast, the procedure urged by Drs. Dynes and Lecker--one could hardly dignify it by calling it a theory--namely, that the future behavior of people during a radiological emergency at Indian Point can be predicted on the basis of the behavior of other people at ether places in different types of emergencies taking place some years ago. It relies upon three obvious fallacies.

First, it ignores the major role of the situation in determining behavior, which has been thoroughly established in a large body of recent psychological research stimulated by the radical situationalism of Mischel (1968).

Second, it assumes that people everywhere are the same, in all relevant respects, but especially that they have a uniform dominant response to stress, which is to become conforming and dependent upon constituted authorities. The literature to the contrary is so enormous that it would be tedious indeed to document more than a representative l

Surely the extraordinary diversity of human respoases fraction of it.

to stressful situations lika emergencics is well knovn (see, for example, toldberger & Breznitz,1982; Janis & Mann, 1981; Menninger, 1968; Grinker

& Spiegel, 1945; Hamilton & Warburton, 1979). A substantial subdiscipline in psychology for many years has been devoted to the study of individual i

, differences (see, for example, Anastasi, 1958; Tyler, 1956). A great deal of the work done at the Research Center for Mental Health has been focused on important dimensions of individual difference called cognitive styles (Gardner, Holzman, Klein, Linton & Spence,1959) . We have demon-strated over and over that people of contrasting cognitive styles react to precisely the same situation in diametrically opposite ways (see,

_9-1 e.-_ . . - - . . - . . , . . _ , , - . - - . - . . , , , . , - -

for example, Klein, 1954; 1970). Likewise, a large part of the liter-ature of abnormal and clinical psychology,1-ke that of psychiatry, is devoted to elucidating the extremely variegated ways in which people break down under various types of stress (see, for example, Holt, 1968; Janis, Mahl, Kagan & Holt, 1969). Dr. Lecker's uniformitarian stance is not supported by any seriocs scientific literature known to me.

The third fallacy is to assume that the American_ people have i

not changed in any important respuets during the past few decades. It happens that one of the most striking and consistently reported long-l term trends in American public opinion ever reported is the steady erosion of public faith in authority figures. Long reported in various journals of public opinion, it is now the subject of a full-length book,

by Lipsit (1983). In Appendix I, I present some representative data from a variety of reputable polling firms, which document this trend. All of the constituents of the establishment, from i

governmental institutions like the Congress and the Presidency to the mass media, big business, labor unions, and the universities, have lost their trust and faith of the public over the past 20 years. It is not difficult to understand why people would have been disillusioned about l the credibility of duly constituted authorities when the President of the United States was shown up to have deliberately lied and covered up the Watergate affair, and when so many figures in a previous administra-tion were shown in the Pentagon Papers to have behaved in a similar way about the war in southeast Asia.

l It is difficult to understand how anyone who lays so much stress on the role of faith in authorities and leaders in an emergency could shrug aside as of no importance such massive evidence of aidespread l

l i_,

attitudinal change over time. One manifestation of it in human response during emergency is the looting and other forms of public disorder during the New York City blackout of 1977. Dr. rynes himself has written about looting as a new phenomenon of public behavior. It can hardly be dis-regarded as a portent that the growing mood of alienation in America will malm it considerably less certain that the public will believe what authorities and experts tell them in case of an accident at Indian Point, and that they will comply with instructions. These data help us to understand the surprising new phenomenon of shadou evacuation at Three Mile Island. In this instance, people did not follow the course of behavior indicated by the authorities when at least 150,000 of them outside the 5-mile zone (where a limited evacuation was recommended) decided on their cwn to leave the area.

In relation to Dr. Lecker's repeated statement during his cross-examination that in an emergency at Indian Point, people would turn trustingly and obediently to the constituted authorities because of the existence of an emergency plan, certain data from the studies of Altschuler and of Yankelovich, Skelly and White (1981) are especially important. They agree in finding that most people in the EPZ do not trust Con Edison, and that very substantial minorities indicate that they would give little credence to statements by PASNY, the NRC, or l elected governmental figures. These are clear warning signals that many people will not behave in the traditional fashion of publics in nonradiological emergencies of bygone years, and that the smoothly coor-dinated, lockstep evacuation presumed by the licensees' consultants will be seriously disrupted by unpredictable and rebellious behavior of sub-stantial numbers of people.

i i I

!, Given this state of affairs, it is even more urgent that a thorough  :

and adequately funded study of the entire affected area be conducted by a  !

firm of such impeccable reputation for objectivity as Yankelovich, Skelly i

& White, along the lines of the Suffolk County survey.

r i

j B. On ' Bystander Behavior' and Related Research  ;

j Since, under cross-examination, Dr. Lecker referred a couple of j l times to the literature on ' bystander behavior' as if it supported his f contention that everyone could be counted on to be helpful at a time of f

an accident at Indian Point, a few comments on this literature are in order.

The concept of ' bystander behavior' came into the social-scientific liter-

. ature following the highly publicized case of Kitty Genovese. In March 1968, she was stabbed to death in plain sight of 38 people who ignored her loud pleas for help and did not 2ven call the police until af ter she was i

dead. Darley and Latan? (1968; Latand & Darley,1970) and Darley and Batson (1973) initiated a large literature with a series of ingenious experiments focused on clucidating why onlookers and passers-by so rarely emulate the Good Samaritan. A review paper (Berkowitz, 1973) focused on j seeking explanations for the general finding of an " unwillingness to help I

others." The concept of ' bystander behavior' (or, often, ' bystander apathy')

has thus been used to mean just the opposite of the interpretation suggested  ;

by Dr. Lecker.

( The literature in this field has grown enormously; the recent review volume by Rushton and Sorrentino (1981) covers over 1,000 studies. There is k

little in it to support optimistic conclusions about emergency planning or the Lecker-Dynes advice to let it take care of itself. One noteworthy study [

(Mathews & Canon, 1975) showed both in the laboratory and in field studies,  !

that people he.p others more under quiet than noisy conditions. Their interpretation is that loud noises are stressful, and it is generally established that people's attention is restricted when they are highly aroused, as by stress. The work of Toi and Batson (1982) indicates that people help others when they can think about the feelings of those who need it. But being in danger oneself interferes with empathy for others.

Altogether then, an emergency evacuation is likely to be a situation in which spontaneous helping behavior toward strangers would be at a minimum.

What, however, about the behavior of emergency workers, health care workers, bus drivers, police officers and ot147s whose devotion to duty is presumed and required if the emergency plans are to work? It is

such an established fact that human beings put helping their own families above helping the general public, if a choice must be made, that socio-biologists have put forth theories of altruistic behavior postulating that helping behavior is under direct genetic control
the more closely one is i

related to another (the more shared genes), the greater the likelihood of altruistic behavior toward that person (Wilson, 1979; Dawkins, The Selfish Gene. N.Y.: Oxford , 1976) . Critiques of sociobiology (e.g., Gould, 1983) find other, cultural reasons preferabic, but do not challenge the fundamental starting point.

In this connection, I would like to add one personal observation.

In March 1981, I conducted some interviews with persons who had been through the Three Mile Island experience. One, a nurse, reported that at the hospital where she worked, the medical and other staffs were seriously depleted during the crisis, in striking contract to the situation just a few years earlier when there had 1.een a flood on the Susquehanna River.

Though the hospital was in some danger as a result of the flood, the staff had consistently showed up for duty. The difference was that they had been l Lable to secure the safety of their families during the flood, but could not be sure their loved ones were safe when faced with the pervasive, impalpable threat of radiation, except by getting them to a safe distance.
