Latané and Darley's research showed that the probability of any individual helping in an emergency
- A
Doubles when one other bystander is present
- B
Increases linearly with bystanders
- Ccheck_circle
Decreases as the number of bystanders increases (diffusion of responsibility)
- D
Is unrelated to the number of others present
Explanation
More bystanders → diffuse personal responsibility → individuals less likely to act. Surprisingly, lone witnesses help most.
