Bystander Effect - Psychestudy Definition The phenomenon which explains the likeliness of a person to take some sort of action to help someone in distress depending on the number of people present in the scene is regarded as bystander effect. If you witnessed a emergency situation happening in front of you, you would definitely take some sort of action right? Psychologists argue that it may not be the case as number of people present in the scene impacts how you (a person) would react. A basic understanding of this phenomenon is that when there are fewer people in the scene or a person is alone, he/she is more likely to feel responsible to take some sort of action. On the other hand, if there are many people, there occurs a diffusion of responsibility and no single person is entirely responsible which then causes inaction. Examples of the Bystander Effect The Famous Bystander Effect Example In 1964, March 13 – Friday, Catherine was murdered in front of her apartment entrance as she was on her way home from work.

Why I Will Never Use a Behavior Chart Again I know from all the clip charts and behavior charts I have seen on Pinterest that this statement has probably already raised a couple of eyebrows, but I hope you'll hear me out anyway. A few days ago one of my colleagues, (who is a great teacher, wonderful mom, and all around awesome person) sat down at our team meeting and said, "I want you to know that I am never using a behavior color chart again!" I stopped using those charts years ago and I couldn't have been happier to hear her say that! I remembered my own son coming home from Kindergarten, day after day, in tears because he just couldn't seem to stay on 'green'. I began to look at my students through different eyes and imagine what they must be feeling. Some are ADHD like my little guy and are battling their own bodies for control each day, some are coming from homes so broken and troubled it's just astounding, and many are simply neglected and left to be raised by siblings or television. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
