Question
A review by Fischer et al. suggested that the magnitude of this phenomenon in dangerous situations is consistent with the arousal: cost-reward model. One experiment testing this phenomenon had participants complete a questionnaire while smoke was pumped into the room; that experiment was conducted by John Darley and Bibb Latané. This effect is partly driven by diffusion of responsibility and mitigated by group cohesiveness. Good Samaritan laws attempt to overcome this effect. One illustration of this phenomenon is the murder of Kitty Genovese. For 10 points, name this effect in which an individual in a large group does not offer help during a crisis. ■END■
ANSWER: bystander effect [or bystander apathy; prompt on diffusion of responsibility before mention by asking“what phenomenon caused the participants to diffuse responsibility?”]
