Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The bystander effect suggests that the more people who witness an incident, the less likely any one individual is to take action to help. This phenomenon is due in part to diffusion of responsibility, where individuals feel less personally responsible to help when others are present. Therefore, in a situation where only one individual witnessed the accident, they are more likely to feel a personal obligation to stop and render assistance.
