the bystander effect

(writing)

My opinion on the bystander effect, (my thoughts and opinions).

When there's more people no one seems to step in, mainly because each person is waiting for the other people to make a move, they get hesitant and wait there until they finally slip and realise that they should be the one to give the help.

When there's about five people it takes a shorter time, body language is a huge key factor in my opinion, if someone isn't looking at the person that needs help and their body language is showing disengagement then your more likely to help because you feel bad that no one else seems interested.

When there's one person, it lets go of the embarrassment. There’s no one to impress, but you feel a connection with that person that you are in the room with. It's just you two and no one else is going to stop you or make you, there's more to encourage you, since you're the only one and you almost feel obligated to help since it's just you two.

With all of this information I also think it matters on the situation as well, not many people would help as fast if a teenager fell over, over when an elderly would fall over, I think doing the same situation on people was smart but does not prove as much as you seem. It was someone setting up a tent, no one was getting hurt, or anything like that. I think he should have produced it a better way for more informing and better results.
