Publicly identifying a specific person and requesting their help can help reduce the diffusion of responsibility because it creates a sense of accountability for that person to take action. This is known as "targeting responsibility." While yelling or screaming may get attention, it does not necessarily create a sense of personal responsibility for someone to help. Calmly indicating that help is needed may also not be as effective as specifically requesting help from someone.
