Informing the subjects by having them read about the Darley and Batson study had no significant effect on their predictions about the effect of the dispositional variable of religious orientation. It did have an effect on their estimates of the effect of the situational variable of being in a hurry; but the effect was a mere 18-percentage-point difference, far less than the 53-point difference reported by Darley and Batson.
Astonishing.
