Did you know that the more people witness an emergency, the less likely it is that any one person will step in? 😮
This powerful psychological phenomenon is called bystander apathy (or the bystander effect). It happens because of:
👉 Diffusion of responsibility — Everyone assumes someone else will act.
👉 Social influence — People look to others for cues, and if no one moves, they freeze too.
This concept, rooted in social psychology, reveals how group dynamics can override individual instincts.
By understanding it, you can train yourself to break the cycle of inaction — and maybe save a life. 🧠✨
