Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The phenomenon known as the "bystander effect" suggests that an individual in need is more likely to receive help when there are fewer potential helpers present. This is because when many people are present, responsibility to act is diffused among them, leading to less action. Therefore, Lamar would most likely receive help if only one person witnessed the accident.
