The Bystander Effect
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
The bystander effect is the reduced likelihood that any individual will help when others are present.
Show
A person collapsing in a crowded station waits longer for assistance than one on a quiet street.
Watch for
Later field studies find help is often given in groups. The effect is real and smaller than its reputation.
