The bystander effect
What is the bystander effect and why do people do it? Say someone needs help and there is another person nearby that other person will usually help the person that needs help but when there is a group of people someone is less likely to step on and help and if they do it usually takes a while this is a physiological effect that humans have called the bystander effect.
When someone needs help people will easily help them because their mind know that they need help but when there is a group of people it works differently it works differently because your mind is thinking that you should help but you feel embarrassed to help in front of others most people in the group will all have this effect and this is what they will be thinking two and because of this nobody gets up to help them even though you want to lots of people do help bust most of them help after a while rather then just helping because of the effect, however when you are in a small group or it is just you you are more likely to help because you do not feel as embarrassed
There is also no way to stop this effect so you will always have it and be embarrassed to help someone if there is a group around you however it is not just because you are embarrassed because there are other things that happen two.
