The Bystander Effect
เกี่ยวกับหนังสือเสียงเล่มนี้
Why do people sometimes stand by during an emergency, even when they genuinely want to help?
The presence of other people can create a surprising psychological paradox: as the number of witnesses increases, each individual may feel less personally responsible for taking action.
The Bystander Effect explores the research behind this phenomenon and the social pressures that prevent people from intervening.
From classic psychological experiments to bullying, workplace misconduct, public emergencies, and everyday moments of injustice, the book investigates diffusion of responsibility, uncertainty, fear of embarrassment, and the powerful influence of group behaviour.
It also examines what can break the cycle of inaction and how individuals and institutions can create conditions that make intervention more likely.
An insightful exploration of courage, responsibility, social influence, and the difference between witnessing a problem and choosing to act.
