What are the 3 BIGGEST
issues you see?
• Individual-A person’s knowledge, skill set, confidence,
sense of social responsibility, etc.
• Situational-Severity of need; are there other people
around? What are the costs of helping?
• Victim-Do you know the person? Do you think they
deserve help? Will they accept help?

AWARNESS TEST
• Ambiguity
• Is it a problem? Is it not? Err on the side of caution and INVESTIGATE!
• Conformity
• Informational Influence-When you think someone knows more than you do,
or has more information than you, you will follow their lead.
• Pluralistic Ignorance-the majority know there is something wrong but no one
else looks concerned so you think you must be the only one and this you don’t
do anything.
• Normative Influence-you go along with the group to fit in, to be liked of to
be accepted by the group.
• Groupthink- when members try to minimize conflict and reach
consensus without critically testing, analyzing and evaluating ideas.
Groupthink may cause groups to make hasty irrational decision where
individual doubts are set aside due to a desire to avoid being seen as
foolish or to avoid embarrassing or angering other members of the group.
• Spiral of Silence-if one thinks that they are in the minority they are less
likely to voice an opinion. So people who don’t directly engage in
problematic situation still contribute to the problem with their silence.

Step 1: NOTICE THE EVENT
•
•
•
•
Ask yourself…
Does it go against your morals?
Does this problem go against the norm in a negative way?
Is this problem hurting you or the other people?
Step 2: INTERPRET IT AS A
PROBLEM
•
•
•
•
How are you influenced to make your decision?
1. Informational influence
2. Pluralistic Ignorance
3. Normative Influence
Influence
• “It’s not hard to make decisions once you know what
your values are.”- Roy E. Disney
Decisions
• Bystander Effect: People
are more likely to intervene
when they are alone than when they are part of a group
• This occurs because of responsibility diffusion
•
Responsibility assumed and number of people present is an inverse relationship
• There are many documented occurrences where
bystander effect has resulted in loss of life
• Example
• Other reasons people don’t act:
•
•
•
Others more qualified or skilled
Afraid of peer judgment
Simply do not feel responsible
Step 3: Assume
Responsibility
• Don’t rationalize away responsibility
• Verbalize your intentions- More likely to carry through
• Engage others- “I’ll do A and you do B”
