- rubber_duck 7y agoI think awareness of the effect changes the behavior more - at least for me - I usually wouldn't act in situations where someone needed help because I don't feel particularly qualified but knowing that nobody else is likely to respond I try to help. This makes social science even less reliable.
- jsjw7sbw 7y ago> nobody else is likely to respond They are now. But maybe after some time everyone will think someone will help them anyway and stop. And so the cycle continues.
- rubber_duck 7y agoI just try to help untill I see someone more qualified take over to avoid the issue. Don't know if it's because I'm aware of this effect or just maturing but I know when I was younger I just avoided situations like this and I had a few recently where I did actually try to help.
