본문내용

You're walking down a busy city sidewalk, and you see someone in front of you fall down. What would you do? Now imagine that same situation, but you are the only other person on the sidewalk. What would you do then? According to social psychologists, you are more likely to help when there is no one else around. I contrast, if there are many witnesses, or bystanders, you might not offer help. It is even possible that no one would help the person at all. Psychologists believe this is a natural yet complex human reaction, which they call the bystander effect.

<중 략>

Social psychologists believe the bystander effect can apply to a number of everday situations. For example, on a busy sidewalk, you might not give money to a homeless man(or help someone who falls down). On a crowded subway, you may not give up your seat to an elderly person. On the highway, you might choose not to stop and help someone change a flat tire. In these situations, you-and the other bystanders-feel less responsible because so many people are around to help, so no one ends up helping at all.
