    A good way to avoid bystander effect in others around you is by giving specific people tasks such as, "you call nine-one-one" instead of "someone call nine-one-one." This ensures the task is more likely to be done since the person feels that responsibility falls on to them. Also, simply knowing about bystander effect can help you to avoid it.

    This also spawned the ‘What Would You Do?’ tv show. One of my psychology classes in college did a smallish Bystander Experiment. We were to ‘trip’ along one of the sidewalks, and see how quickly someone would help. And we added different things, like: a bright jacket, a load of books, using crutches, etc. we found that women were more likely to get help. Smaller people would be helped faster. And if someone had a known medical condition, help was almost instant. Also, it depended if we yelped or cried out as we fell vs if we were silent. It was an interesting experiment. I kind of enjoyed it…

    Fun fact, there was a later experiment similar to the milgram experiment except this time, they wanted to know what personality types were more likely to rebel against the "authority figure" so they got information from friends and family about the subjects' personalities. The result: The people most likely to refuse to shock the person were described as outspoken, opinionated and confrontational. So yeah, those annoying people always making long winded speeches about what's wrong with the world? They may annoy you, but they're almost the most likely to stick up for you against authority.

    Another unethical point against Milgram is that if a participant asked to stop, they were given 4 verbal 'prods' such as "the experiment requires you to continue" before they were allowed to leave, making them believe that they had to finish and therefore breaking the 'right to withdraw' ethical guideline. The distress caused by Milgram's study was also so severe for some participants that 3 of them had seizures.

    Actually the bystander effect could be explained by Cialdini's "social proof". In an unknown or unfamiliar situation, we observe others to adapt our behaviour, because most of the time, the behaviour of the majority is the most suited. It's not just that we're waiting for an other person to act, we're in fact not sure how to react so we observe others. But if the others are also observing, it can lead to a situation where nobody moves and looks around, a collective incapacity.

    I feel this sounds obvious as if might be wrong and stupid fool for missing the point, but in the bystander effect of which crowd size affects responsibility of self to say or act or respond to be a ratio observed easily, how does this effect miss the fact that if we were in situations of which response is essentially always a possibly known/unknown of awareness here, but despite awareness, it be potential danger/threat to us and being alive is kind of; the core of every single one of us as overall we did have Darwin kinda speak on this evolutionary survival which yes, is our alert system inbuilt to keep survival instinctual, and maybe bystanding is not really about responsibility but leaves a great huge hole as to why people wouldn't react.. As also if the scenario controlled 100% risk to any danger to us I'm sure responsibility then would be a ratio of people reacting be majorly and anyone else be choosing to not react despite it costing nothing to what sounding like those labelled in "Sick/C**t" terms. Am I missing entirely out reason or something thinking that perhaps we do not respond in our own chance of instinct to survive, be sounding a huge flaw over putting it really to responsibility and crowd size, as doubting my whole understanding of this because it sounds too obvious to me? As your comment actually read to me as what the effects of crowds do on influence us to bigger crowd number, quicker we feel uncomfortable to oppose. And bystander responsibility easily could be that known fact; especially if increase numbers are decrease oppose; essentially react as different to and reading this I feel you tapped on a huge missing gap as well.. I think this effect based more on the two missing factors explaining why no one responds instead it be sole responsibility causal alone. As I know and admit the other 2 are my own reason if not respond in situational theory here, responsible I feel is not going to be first calculated nor really would be in mind when mid-witnessing, I would feel responsible to do what to equally be each persons minus the group of minority, in feel responsibility to react in situations. Anyone like they deserve some label of more human iinstinct as hero when in situations where such person often runs into the knowing of how actual death risk is but however they do so in order of saving another life, and heroic is these rare types, sacrificially a saint like non-human instinct based persons we do name as heroic but hear in news a single act of what is going against survival and truly they are so few they do have name read or highlighted across our massive population, rightly so, but shows some reason linking to that in a rare responding few are the norm against what is shift of responsible to another, as few in population respond because of instinctually driven most are to get from threat to safe in anything of life..

    Milgram did a lot of variations of that experiment, and most of them had varying results. When you take all of the experiments together (not just the widely publicized one), it actually shows that people DON'T respond all that well to authority (almost everyone refused to go further when told "You MUST continue"), but they can do some awful things if they believe what they're doing is for the greater good.

    Honestly, yes. I still want to see the proper details of the experiment to see if it was truly scientific, but from what little I know, it makes us face some uncomfortable truths about ourselves. It's easy enough to say 'no' to an authority figure if you know something is wrong, but the real challenge is fighting the pressure that comes with it. Irl, it might translate to facing said disgruntled authority figure for a prolonged period of time & other consequences and also, people do have social equivalents of his 'verbal prods' going on, which do push them to do what they might not have done otherwise. This must be a common occurrence in soldiers, a lot of who throughout our history weren't specialised fighters but civilians with bare minimum physical training. At least we recognise PTSD in soldiers now, back then they had to return to the normal grind and battle it silently for the rest of their lives.

My speech teacher does provide positive support BUT I’ve been around people and still am around some people who will undermine me and act negatively towards me because of my voice. I currently have a lot of self confidence issues when it comes to speaking and I wish there was better positive feedback when kids with speech impediments or kids who go/went to speech therapy get since it can cause a lot of issues with talking if you don’t get that proper support.

Adults are a lot nicer in general than kids/teenagers, in my experience. In elementary school I had to take speech classes because I had a bad stutter and in middle school my voice/stutter gave me so much anxiety that I couldn't speak at all even when I wanted to. I even got sent to detention once because I couldn't answer a teacher's question when they called on me. lol I've been out of school for almost a decade now and I don't really have any problems with my voice anymore. I've had like 1 person maliciously make fun of my voice in that entire decade, whereas in school I got made fun often enough (and just remember that anyone who makes fun of you for a speech impediment is a miserable person in general so I don't take it too personally, or try not to).

    For the Bystander Effect, I actually have called 911 a couple times because I know about it and I reasoned "it's better they get a few calls than none at all." If I didn't already know about the Bystander Effect, I'm not sure if I would have done the same thing. I hope I would, but we'll never know for sure. But I do know I helped at least once because I found out, while I was on the phone with 911, that I was the only one in the immediate area with a cell phone. I could have just walked by. So don't let the Bystander Effect get ya, be the help.

    It didn't even study what Zimbardo claimed he was studying. He claimed it was about prison conditions. Due to his meddling with his own experiment because it wasn't initially showing the "innate cruelty of humans," it became a compliance and conformity experiment. According to a similar experiment in the UK, there wouldn't have been problems had Zimbardo simply been an obssrver rather than suggesting the guards be more aggressive and stirring up trouble. According to some interviews, the participants figured out what Zimbardo wanted from them and played their parts hoping for good grades and approval in return.

I have seen it happen (in various contexts - thankfully none so serious as killing someone) enough time to wonder about it. Is it a problem with authority or is it that when instructions and consequences are not well defined they are so much scarier than when they are?

His mother took him one day and ran off somewhere. If I'm not mistaken he did the same thing to another child, but was given the opportunity to un condition him (doesn't change the ethicality of it, however). 2nd, subjects were debriefed at the end of the Milgram experiment. They all met with the actor and were told that they did no harm to him. Milgram knew that he didn't want people walking around thinking that they had, or still could, harm people so mindlessly.

He goes into great detail about every misguided decision, every flaw, and everything that happened. Including how his partner made him see sense. He spesifically calls her the hero of the story for doing that. He wrote the book decades after the experiment, and he has since delved deep into the things that make people act against their better nature, himself included. But the experiment and it’s aftermath is only a part of the book. It goes deep into the phenomena that makes people act with extreme cruelty in war, how entire nations are swayed to follow dictators, how easy it is to make us believe horrendous acts of violence and persecution are ”justified.” I’d argue that is insight into our flaws we need. Yes the experiment was misguided and harmful and not a very good piece of research. ZIMBARDO KNOWS THAT.

    I remember witnessing two kids (probably around 13-14) having a fight, and the lack of response I saw there was absolutely astonishing. This was at a bus stop right after school, so everyone was waiting for the bus to arrive and was just watching the fight break down between these kids (year/grade 7-8 kids I assume, here in Australia we don't do middle school, so you start highschool at year/grade 7). Aside from the obligatory kids who were probably recording, everyone else was perfectly content just watching it happen. I kinda noticed it late but I was the only person to walk in and stop the fight before it got really serious, though I still hesitated to go there for a good second or two. Considering I was a senior and bigger than them, it wasn't that hard to break up the fight, but it's still amazing how when you see no one else react you have hesitations about reacting too. It made me wonder though, if they were my age or my size, would I have been as willing to stop the fight?

    I was in such a situation once and it took me this post to understand it was bystander effect. I was in high school - around 16. Exchange student in New Zealand. I was having lunch with another exchange student I had become quite friends with when we heard someone screaming. We went to see what was happening and there were two boys fighting and about 20 people around them just standing still. At the time my reaction was completely standard: I wanted them to stop but I also knew I was weaker than them. I was scared that if I tried to intervene I would get caught up in it (not scared of the teachers but of getting hurt. I was bigger and older than them but very weak - the "my arms hurt when I hold up my phone" kind of weak). I thought if someone else helped me I would go but as an exchange student I knew no one and I didn't want to ask strangers or to endanger my only friend (she was more petite than me, also she was frightened and wanted to get away asap). Also I didn't really know what to do - I had never witnessed a fight before and definitely had never seen how to break one up. I really wanted to go but just didn't have the courage to try. I could have called a teacher but didn't know where to find one, didn't want to be a snitch (since I didn't know why they were fighting) and didn't want to go away from there: I wanted to see what happened. At some point I remember thinking "This has to stop so I'll count to 30 and if no one does anything I swear I'll intervene" While I was counting in my heas a girl that was half my height and probably 3 years younger than me came in yelling at them to stop. I think she knew them. She just went in there and grabbed one and pushed away the other and kept yelling all the time. They stopped. Everyone went away. My friend was a bit shocked and scared. I was embarrassed and kept thinking I should have intervened before the other girl showed up.

    To be more specific, this does not reference that the Belmont Report is very outdated. Initially the Nuremberg Code was laid out, followed by the Declaration of Helsinki (DoH) and after the Tuskegee experiment the Belmont Report was produced. There are very important distinctions between these regulations, initially the Nuremberg code was not concerned with patient harm and instead valued social benefit. There are now international regulations that are applicable for Clinical trials. ICH (International Conference on Harmonisation) is the standard although from a US perspective ICH is not adopted, but followed. I am in Canada where ICH is adopted and we also have TCPS2 (Tri-Council Policy 2) to follow, which heavily overlap. We must keep records for 25 years while ICH and the FDA only require 2 years after a drug reaches market. source: I work In clinical trials and deal heavily with US-Canada trials.

    i believe that most of the criticism the milgram experiment got was because that a great many people just simply didn't like the conclusions of that experiment. no person in that experiment actually reported that they somehow were permanently damaged by the experiment itself. each participant was also debriefed after the experiment was over, as to assure that they hadn't actually hurt anyone. it was more that it was just uncomfortable while it was going on. yet, most people choose to stay and continue the experiment, even though they could say no and choose to leave(which some did). which is exactly why this experiment is so interesting to begin with. when people are confronted with negative or uncomfortable truths about themselves which doesn't paint them in a good light, they will usually fight it, instead of trying to learn anything from it. and when you got a society very much based around authority and obedience on so many levels, and an experiment like Milgram's shows up and starts to probe that very notion, of course people will object to it. but that's a more political question than an ethical one. was the Milgram experiment unethical? not so much. did we learn some uncomfortable truths about the average human being? yes, very much so.

I would see everyone else looking around but no one would go tell the staff. In every instance where this happened I was the one to go out and tell them. I've never been hesitant about taking initiative but this has happened at least 5 different times that I can remember and each time the rooms were packed, yet it was always me.

    The Stanford Prison Study was also replicated (without the researchers meddling in order to stir up conflict). It turns out, when you re-create that scenario without a researcher who can have power over your grades, graduation, job recommendations, etc suggesting that the guards be more aggressive and the prisoners be more rebellious, you don't get the problems that occurred in the Stanford experiment. The participants at Standford figured out what Zimbardo wanted from them and complied, believing that it could affect future grades, graduation, and job opportunities.

    About Zimbardo experiment, there were also a lot of things that made the experiment not just unethical, but scientifically worthless. Conclusion was supposed to be that being a guard makes you abusive. But Zimbardo pressured guards to be harsh and only a handful of them turned abusive. There were also a lot more things that made this experiment unethical, including people who wanted to get out of the experiment straight up being refused and kind of being brainwashed to feel like they were really imprisoned for some crime.

    Watson intended to decondition Albert, but was unable to do so after Albert was adopted. As for the Stanford Prison experiment, Zimbardo is the reason the conditions went downhill so quickly. He wasn't getting the initial results he wanted, so he had a few "prisoners" and "guards" cause problems. Rather than showing the internalization of roles, it showed conformity to the will of someone in a leadership role.

As I was able to avoid all collisions, I was the only person really effected, having swerved off into a ditch; the car damaged but no serious damage to me. I'm in my 30's and I've been in a few accidents so I knew the process, I was in shock, I calmed my breathing, put my hazards on and waited to safely exit my vehicle as it had swerved completely away from the busy traffic. Not a single person stopped, including the person who caused me to crash off the side of the road. No one stopped, everyone assumed someone else would stop and I was stuck completely alone. Soon I was in shock simply by how disgusted I was with the driver who caused the accident and everyone who just left me. It's creepy and disheartening.

They paid $12 per hour to do small studies, which were usually little games or test that you do on a computer. They'd pay $20 for fMRI scans or eeg. They also had one researcher who was studying muscle memory and he had this machine with a lever underneath, that you pull to shoot dots at a target on the screen. It was like an old Pac Man arcade game. It was a lot of fun. But unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to go back since they shut down the campus during the pandemic and they're not doing much of anything now. I miss doing it and I hope to be able to get back there soon. If you're in high school or college, it's a great way to make extra money on the side and you should look into it.

    The little Albert experiment honestly seems almost a little funny to me, as well as being slightly horrifying, because my parents accidentally did sort of the same thing to me when I was a baby. They got me a mobile that played a music box version of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" and they'd play it when they put me down to go to sleep and left. I did not like being left behind, and clearly associated the music with the upset that I am reported to have loudly expressed every night. The practical upshot of all of this is that hearing a music box version of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" made me cry until I semi-accidentally deprogrammed myself when I was 13 by making myself cry too often because... teenage angst I think?

    A weak spot in an artery in your brain ruptured, initiating a pulsating torrent of blood flooding immediate areas of the brain. A critical medical emergency, the blood flow must be stopped ASAP, generally via surgical clipping of the affected artery. Such weaknesses in artery walls are often genetic. Post-aneurysm outcomes vary, and are dependent on a number of factors, including the area of brain affected, the size of the bleed, duration before intervention, and the patient's age. ~Kaycee, CNRN, CRRN

    My psychology prof actually recreated the prison experiment annually with his students in the early 80s. He did, however, include observers whose primary role was to try to protect the mental health of participants. We were also fully informed of the dangers and outcomes of the original study and we were told to act our role and describe how we felt and what we might do in that role rather than to actually deny people food or whatever. We were given recipe cards that had situations described on them and asked to write our reactions. Sometimes our reactions would be passed on as new situations and so on until the day was done. We were also debriefed in the days following and, through class discussions and activities, any division created by the simulation were removed.

    The second principle of the Belmont Report can be broken down further: what you mentioned is "non-malevolence", and you're right. An experiment shouldn't do any harm. However, true "benevolence" is that there has got to be some reasonable benefit to the participants, which can relate to the other two principles: are the participants going to get a fair compensation in time? If not, then it's not justified. Are they getting so much that their participation would seemed coercive? If so, then this defeats the purpose of an informed consent and therefore shows no respect for the participants.

    It's unethical to not obtain informed consent.

    Seriously? You're excusing people not helping others when their lives are in danger? What does that have to do with being "the greatest humans"? Where the hell did you get that from?

    There’s a reason for the bystander effect though. People don’t want to get involved into something that might put their life in danger or harm them in some way, especially when it comes to losing your life. In the bystander experiment he mentioned, I think there were still a lot of people there when the murder happened but no one wanted to put their life in danger and so they didn’t try to help.

    Even though the Belmont Report is meant to help the subjects involved in an experiment, it is a HUGE barrier when it comes to being able to do experiments that would come to a useful scientific conclusion.

    I don't understand how the milgram experiment is unethical, nobody got hurt and all the teachers were informed after the experiment that the student was ok by the student himself

    You said the word yourself, AFTER. It's not ok to get consent from someone to do a test if they don't know what they're getting into. It's tricking people into a test, and that's not allowed.

    It also might have caused damage to the subjects for life, might not have, but it still shouldn't have been done.

    But if you told the subject, then the whole test would be ruined wouldn't it?

    +Neph Drummond they were never forced to do anything and if they knew what was going on the experiment wouldn't work. Also any thought that they killed somebody was swept away by them meeting with the person they electrocuted and telling them the whole experiment

    I think it was because the subjects thought that they killed the person which would be horrifying
