John M. Darley (April 3, 1938 – August 31, 2018) was an American social psychologist who was professor of psychology and public affairs at Princeton University.[2] He was the son of noted professor of psychology, John G. Darley (1910–1990).[3] He has a Ph.D. from Harvard University in Social Relations.[4][5]

Darley is best known, in collaboration with Bibb Latané, for theories which explore why people do not always intervene (i.e. offer aid) at the scene of an emergency, a research interest largely stemming from the tragic case of Kitty Genovese, the New Yorker who was murdered in a New York suburb in March 1964 in the presence of 38 witnesses.[6]
