An attitude refers to a person's evaluation, either positive or negative, towards a certain person, idea, object or situation. It includes a combination of beliefs, feelings, and behavioral intentions towards the target of the attitude. Bystander apathy, groupthink, and conformity are social psychological concepts that refer to different phenomena. Bystander apathy refers to the phenomenon where individuals are less likely to offer help in a situation where help is needed if there are other bystanders present. Groupthink refers to the phenomenon where a group of people tend to conform and make decisions that are not optimal due to the desire for consensus and cohesion within the group. Conformity refers to the tendency of people to go along with the norms and expectations of a group, even if it goes against their personal beliefs or values.
