While that's certainly good advice, I don't think that's really a "bystander effect" correction as it is if there's multiple people and nobody takes charge then nothing gets organized, and if you don't delegate specifically then nobody knows who you're talking to and this produces confusion.
- swish_bob 7y agoThe last two times I took a first aid course I was told to do this _specifically_ to override the bystander effect. Both times, the instructor named and explained the bystander effect, and said the best way to overcome it was to assign tasks to specific individuals.
- stordoff 7y agoI have specifically had this explained to me as being due to the bystander effect. "Someone call 999/911" - chances are no one will do it, due to the bystander effect; "You (points) call 999/911" - they probably will.
