Description: Bystander intervention effect is defined: the greater the number of bystanders who witness an emergency, the less likely it is that any one of them will intervene to help. This documentary discusses research on this phenomenon, providing historical background, discussing classic psychological experiments, and examining the five-step helping process that is sometimes hindered by the bystander intervention effect.
