Bystander Effect?

Question

When you are performing CPR, and you are supposed to tell someone to call the police, and you are supposed to point, what is the feeling called that the person you pointed ats responsibility

Answer 1

Bystander Effect was named so because the more bystanders that are standing at the scene, the less interested they are to act. It is important that during CPR the person performing the CPR acknowledge the person he wants to dispatch help, calling him by name, if necessary. Otherwise, he may experience "deindividualization" and choose to wait for another to act. I'm told that bystanders go through a five-step process, during each of which they can decide to do nothing.

Notice the event (or in a hurry and not notice).

Realize the emergency (or assume that as others are not acting, it is not an emergency).

Assume responsibility (or assume that others will do this).

Know what to do (or not)

Act (or worry about danger, legislation, embarrassment, etc.)

If they are ordered to dispatch help, they are most likely to feel the responsibility and act.

Answer 2

I'm not really sure what exactly you mean, but I know that you're supposed to point at a specific person because if you just said it to a group of people, they'd just assume that somebody else would do it (bystander apathy). The more people there are, the less likely anyone is to help.

Hope that helps.

Answer 3

Are you referring to the "Good Samaritan" , the act of rendering aid when you are able and/or qualified to do so, or insuring that appropriate aid is summoned in a timely fashion.
