There is so much to this topic Rika that I could post a literal library here. I can give you some pointers but experience and training in this area is paramount if you really want to become familiarized with how to survive a hostage experience. SMTC offers the best SERE and HRP courses in the world outside of the military. If you take these two courses, your odds of survival go up almost 90%.
As to touching on this... Keep a low profile, don't bring attention to yourself, if there are multiple hostages, keep to the center of them if possible. Don't dog eye your captures and act submissive. Don't try to escape if you don't think you'll make it. Plan carefully and think before you act. Also, take note of how many bad guys there are, what kind of weapons, and what their background is. See if they are creating the situation due to strife, religion, or what have you.
And the most important thing of all, if the good guys bust in to save you, the first and only thing you do is go prone with your hands behind your head.
