  • Join us as we delve into the psychology behind bystander apathy, a phenomenon illuminated by John Darley and Bibb Latané in the wake of a tragic murder in New York. Are people inherently callous, or is there a deeper social mechanism at play? Discover how the diffusion of responsibility and common knowledge within a crowd can inhibit individual action.

    This implies that if someone stands up and says: 'I'll fix it', everybody else feels they're off the hook. If that someone is in cahoots with the perpetrator, nobody intervenes. Control the resistence.

    Always when there is a problem, it is OK, because someone else will fix it. The "somebody else" attitude to society is a common self defeating anti social mindset that undermines the concept of a harmonious social structure to begin with.
    I guess we have to ask ourselves; are we an individual perpetually locked in a win lose battle with other individuals, or are we team society working together for a win win for all?

      I like that interpretation. Better still I think we can ask ourselves what is the minimal required of me. If you see something and you can make even a fleeting appraisal of what is needed, that minimum will be greater than zero. Unless you are all thumbs in which case it is best you call for help, that is if you can operate a phone.

      @@tickypaper6835 Yeah, I used to put it into physical (Most noticeable) in my workplace. I have a minimum set of tasks that I need to do to satisfy my requirements. I would call that 100%, but I always aimed for 110% or even 120%. The extra 10 to 20% usually went to someone else as good-will and most often didn't require any significant addition effort on my behalf.
      For example I would be in the middle of my own task and walking past a colleague and notice that they would need a tool in there next step in what they were doing. I could see the tool along my path, so I would pick it up and put it next to them as I was passing by so they didn't have to get up to look for it. It makes their day a little easier to achieve that 100% and allows them a little time to reciprocate with the good will.
      In a team that works that way everyone achieves far better than the 100% with minimal extra effort, and at a minimum everyone achieves the 100% with less effort.
      That's a kind of "team society" analogy. It's just a personal choice to be a team player and extend a little good will to others. Reciprocation rarely comes directly from the person that you extended the good will to, and typical comes back around from some other member of the team :)

    A Malcolm Gladwell interview with the , to date , only female PM of Australia suggests a corollary: a national ' been there , done that , back to normal ' occurrence. A very revealing and , frankly , appalling account.

    I love the scientist Steven Pinker. I do not love the politically far right, "anti-woke" Steven Pinker - and this is where he is lately, sadly. :)

      He's centrist/centre-left. Criticizing wokeness doesn't automatically make one far-right. And there's no shortage of people who mock both the far-right and woke left

      If you disagree with one of his points, then make a logical counterargument. This poison-the-well reaction is typical leftist illogic.
