Have you ever been in a room full of people, some buy needs help, but nobody decides to help him. That

sitution is caused by what is called the Bystander Effect. In such situations, It gives us thoughts like “someone else will help them” or “I’m not the right person to help them. And because everyone thinks that way, no one ends up helping. To solve why this occurs, an experiment was carried out where different amounts of people were brought into a room to fill a survey, while a man struggles to set up a tent. The purpose of the experiment was to measure the amount of time it took for someone to help him. The experiment was first done with ten people. After repeating the experiment seven times, the result was that it took an average of 8 minutes and 1 second for someone to stand up and help him. Next, it was done with 5 people. After repeating the experiment seven times, the average time was 7 minutes and 25 seconds. Lastly, it was done with one person and the average time was 3 minutes, the fastest time being only 12 seconds. The conclusion to this experiment was that the more people there are in the room, the responsibility to help the man out was diffused, meaning it was spread out. They called this the diffusion of responsibility.
