About

    One interesting research area phenomenon is known as the "bystander effect." This phenomenon refers to the tendency for individuals to be less likely to offer help to a victim when other people are present. The presence of others can lead to diffusion of responsibility, where individuals assume someone else will take action, or social influence, where individuals look to others for cues on how to behave. This phenomenon has been studied in various contexts, such as emergencies, disasters, and even everyday situations. Understanding the bystander effect can help researchers develop strategies to promote prosocial behavior and encourage individuals to help others in need.
