Primetime: Basic Instincts brings some of most well known intellectual theories and psychological experiments to life for the first time to test people's innate decision making process. This limited series looks at everyday problems from weight loss to examining how small the world is, how closely connected we all are, what people are willing to do simply because someone in authority tells them to. This five-part series features reports from John Quinones, Jay Schadler and Chris Cuomo, and finds that what people say they would do in a given situation is quite different than what they actually do. When people see a situation that cries out for action, do they step in, back away or just walk on by? This fourth installment continues with the hidden camera series "What Would You Do?" that captures people's reactions when confronted with dilemmas compelling them to act or mind their own business. What will people do when they see a stranger who has had too much to drink attempt to get in a car? When a boyfriend is on the verge of physically harming a woman in a public park, will people intervene? When customers at a deli get back too much money from a cashier, will they say anything? How will passengers react when a taxi driver goes on an extensive racist rant or uses hateful anti-gay slurs. Anchor: John Quinones Airdate: December 27, 2006
