Why the Bystander Effect Is Messed Up.

"So there's one other reason people don't intervene that Nosey brought up here. You had your hand up. Alright, this bystander effect concept. That, since I'm not doing it, somebody else will. Or since nobody else is, I'm not either, either of those options. Now, is the bystander effect legit? Is it real? So it's used all the time in education. I'm going to tell you it should never be used in education. It's a myth. And how it gets used is an excuse  for somebody not doing the right behavior. Well, I didn't do anything because of the bystander effect.  But I can prove it doesn't even hold credibility, because if I told you Eryn was your loved one, Do you break through the crowd that's not doing anything to get your loved one in that scene? Yes or no? Yes, what happened to the bystander effect? It was gone the moment you cared about the person being harmed So imagine if we had to say instead of the bystander effect. Oh, you mean the night I chose not to care about the victim? Because that's what actually happened. We put our own reputation, or our own image, in front of the person being harmed."
