The Samaritan’s dilemma problem is analyzed in the article. Based on the Buchanan’s model, the strategies formulated according to the classical decision theory criterions were considered. Here, the impact of all the decision strategies combinations was evaluated from the point of social desirability. Empirical analysis based on the experimental data is also provided.
