I think this experiment was wrong, I think you focused on the wrong audience group, what you should have done was do this in a station or busy area, with many different groups of people, teenagers can't be bothered... Its also wrong to summarise a Student age group as society, it is a good test but take into account other things
shocking experiment just goes to show how people who are unsure on how to act in a situation like this, tend to look to others for guidence and as all are just walking past what do others do? excatly walk on! we need more non conformists lol
Look, I know that this is a really easy-to-do social experiment, but that doesn't mean it's as easy as "I'll bring my camera and when middle school lets out I'll film you looking hurt and no one will help, aren't we just little psychologist!"
I saw people looking and smiling at the person holding the camera, if people SEE you filming him laying there it taints the results.
I think a lot of this shit has to do with the propping up of the "I don't give a fuck about anyone but myself" culture in this country, and also the fact that people have been spoiled on the antics of reality TV and stupid internet videos where assholes do things like this just to prank and scare people. This stuff is so prevalent in American culture these days that hit has changed the way people think and made people into robots. And sometimes I wonder, if that was the plan all along.
@CyberSpectrumND It's not just your country. The bystander effect counts everywhere where there are large populations. The first experiment I've seen in my police academy studies was in england.
TO ALL PEOPLE WATCHING THIS VIDEO, PROMISE YOURSELF THAT YOU WOULD ANY HUMAN IN NEED AND THAT YOU WILL NOT LET THE BYSTANDER EFFECT GET TO YOU. PLEASE THUMBS UP THIS COMMENT. THANK YOU.
how many just walked by? i wasent keeping track i thought one might have help atleast most half way through but beginning to end people just walked by, none even told a teacher because they would have flew down the hall. that would smell of law suit if no one came and knew.
no joke this same shit happended in my school kid got nailed in the nuts and passed out and ignored by everyone until a teacher showed up this ifs fucking rediculous
This wouldn't have happened at my High School, but that's because I live in a small town where people aren't completely insane yet. No one has anything better to do where I live anyway, lol.
That's funny how people are actually walking around him-being sure not to step on him... haha "Sorry man"- I won't help you up BUT --i won't step on you either. ---you figure this looks like a jr.high or h.s. ---word probably got around pretty quick that an experiment of this sort would be taking place..... on the other hand --that looked like me last weekend after an all nighter
Could you make another video where it's a girl in need of help instead of a male? I bet you all the money in the world she'd get helped faster than him...
This is unreal but in society today there's alot more risks invovled in helping people who appear injured. For example, with the rise in people carrying knives, syringes and even guns you have no idea what potential risks there could be to your safety as a helper. Also, i've been verbally abused by others when I've tried to help in the past so forgive me for being skeptical!
I think that if bystanders are standing in the hallway longer they will be more likely to go and help as time continues and they see no difference. But every person that walks by doesn't expect him to be there for another 5 minutes or so... They all think someone will help soon... but if one hesitates and stares, then eventually he or she will help. That's why it's easy to watch this video and say you will help, because you've stared at it for a good minute.
The worst thing about this video, is that if that teacher hadn't had an obligation to help that guy, there's every chance that she wouldn't have either.
Their kids what do you expect, they don't give a crap, but I can assure you I would be suprised to see someone laying on the floor like that and would make sure the person was ok.
The one that DID help was the teacher, the bystander effect didn´t apply to her because she has the social override to be an example for the students, if it were nother place out of the school, she most likely wouldn´t have helped
@superbarajaso your right, she does this because she is an authority figure, which brings about the aspect of personal responsibility for the child on the ground. If it was outside of that school she more than likely would not have helped since there would be no responsibility on her part thus the bystander effect would take effect. however is someone were to prime them self to acknowledge this pattern of behavior the bystander effect would be non existent for them, so spread the word
That's why i believe that Bin Laden is living somewhere in the US. Who knows maybe in one of those hotels near the white house, he probably even eats in the white house cafetaria.
@greengirl2478 this social experiment deals with two main factors (there are 4 i believe, wanna save some space) pluralistic ignorance is when people in ambiguous situations turn to view others reaction to determine if the situation is an emergency and mistake the stimuli(i.e. person on floor) as something innocuous, and since there is no single bystander there is no strong feeling of personal responsibility for others to help, which is called diffusion of responsibility. Hence,bystander effect
@greengirl2478 take no offense to this but you would more than likely do the same thing, or have previously done the same thing as those in the video. This deals more so with external factors and group dynamics as oppose to internal, so for all we know the people who walked by the kid on the ground could be genuinely good people as are you for all i know.
Surprised no one ran out the door as soon as they walked in, thinking there might possibly be a gunman somewhere in the building..........with a silencer.....and......other people are at risk......yeah........because of the "bystander effect" IDK
AT LAST! i have found the video! That person on the ground is me.... no lie. this happened in the last week of school. the head of security yelled at me "YOU THINK THIS IS A JOKE?! I HAD TO CALL MY ENTIRE SECURITY STAFF!" he took my arm and dragged me to the office in humiliation and then i looked up at Wilmer (cameraman) and this nigga dipped! haha i was like WTF?!?..... he ended up helping me and we both got in trouble and almost suspended for the rest of the school year.all in all, teens suck
@GMRox This is an experiment i am planning to do for my psychology dissertation. However i have to get ethical approval and can't have someone lying on the floor or anything too over the top in case people call the police. one idea i have is just to have people drop papers and see if anyone helps. I need another more dramatic idea that doesn't involve blood or anything, any idea? :D
That is actually a great idea. you should carry lots of papers so that it becomes extremely obvious that you could use some help rather than have people think you can pick them up easily and not make them feel too altruistic. good luck!
@jalejalemmt Not just teens, humans in general. Check out the Kitty Genovese case, where she was stabbed to death but yelled for help several times. EVERYONE in the entire block that heard her believed that the other neighbor/person was gonna call. Not one of the 38 witnesses called.
@BzzFest lol, i didnt noticed it, but after i read your comment. i agree that they keep looking at the video, hahah. and the camera keeps on moving, and at 0:16-18 he moved, and i bet someone sees it, the one who was on the left side near him might have witness it, at 1:00 the girl high five to whoever was still there and saw it. the camera tries to hide whoever was in there at 0:34-38 and focus it to the guy.
Hey Wilmerexing, u shud've have carried out the experiment ,without letting the onlookers know that the person is under surveillance, cause a few looked at the camera . can this point make a difference, of not showing the people the camera?
@amannvig That would be a good point, but I honestly do not think too many people saw the camera. I think it was just the two kids who walked out together at 0:36
The one person that actually does stop to help os a fucking teacher. Christ
I'm a 14 year old girl, and I would NEVEr do something like that. If someone drops something, I pikc it up for them if possible. If someone falls, I try to help them up (whilst holding back laughter, sometimes). And if someone appears to be unconscious on a concrete floor, I'D DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT FOR FUCKS SAKE
The bystander effect is basically based on the fear on 'what others may say'. That is the reason why nobody does shit. Each one of these fuckers KNOW something is wrong but nobody is doing something so they are all like: 'ok, it must be fine'. C'mon people! wake up! GET THE FUCK INVOLVED!!!
It's certainly interesting how these people react and obviously do demonstrate the bystander effect, However, i aggree with hipster420.. it's age specific and so can't be generaise.
UNfortunately this is how it is. Selfishness. But if it turns out that something serious happened to the boy, and a news crew came out to cover the story....alll of a sudden people will swarm telling about their wonderful attempt to save this poor victim! I've seen it happen. No one cares unless they can gain from the situation somehow. Just my opinion.
These highschool or middle schoolers are conditioned to ignroe such conflicts. If you were still in school, you'd see that they just stand there cheering on a fight.
i wasn't there, but a male was beating up a female and people just stood there.
She was screaming for help, and 5 mins later her friend came. Only if I was there..
There is another video on the bystander effect in which a little girl seems to be getting kidnapped. It's on the street and many different age groups are involved. Even more, the girl is clearly saying "You're not my dad. Someone, please help."
yeah i tried to put myself as one of those guys but the more ppl that came out the less involved i got becuase it would seem embarrasing.lol i thought only selfish ppl would do the effect but its true anyone would do it no mater who u are
I counted almost 50 people that walked by and did nothing. but then again high schoolers dont give a shit about anything exept when they can loose their verginaty.
@Wilmerexing This experiment has been repeated in many locations with various age and socio-economic groups and the effect remains the same regardless of age. This experiment was carried out in London in the financial district with a male and then female actor playing the victim. They found that people, young and old, walked around the victims when they were dressed in casual, but not unkempt clothes, but when the victim dressed in a suit typical of the financial district, people offered help.
@Hipster420 that's not exactly true, but you do have a point. you see when you're in your teens, early adulthood and adulthood, you are thinking about nothing but yourself. Kids, mature adults, and elders tedn to be more compassionate. Kids because they haven't been "tainted", mature adultsand elders, because they have already "been there and done that", they would want people to do the same for them, and they are well... mature, so to speak. ^^U
What do you mean? I suggest you watch other bystander videos where only adults are shown. shoot man, when I'm with my mom on the train in nyc the adults ignore those in need of help. You've got another thing coming.
@Hipster420 The frightening thing is, that's not entirely accurate. The Bystander Effect holds veracity in any age group... which, is discomforting. The diffusion of responsibility is something that happens in any group of people.
@Hipster420 interesting, but so is Avatar..it doesn't mean it's based on truth. Time and time again, this has proven to be a fact in all age groups, in all regions of the world. People have been murdered in public, died of natural causes all because no one intervened and helped. When in large numbers, compassion is irrelevant.
@ncPsychosis We are all products of our environments. So your saying that you would not help a person in need if others in the area were not? I believe a certain amount of compassion is innate but it's mostly a learned behavior... Maybe you were just raised in a very hostile environment...Intelligence and rational should be able to override the "herd instinct"....But most people live their lives with fear as the main catalyst of their existence.
@Hipster420 I think that while we would all like to believe that compassion is something we acquire with age, I do not believe this is true. To be completely honest by the time you reach the "adult" years you have so much going on with your own life and busy "fast food lifestyle" that it's even easier to walk away. If you watch some of the other videos on the Bystander effects, some a little more professionally done - although this one exhibits the basic idea nicely- PART 1
@Hipster420 then you'll see that most of them are done in areas where the adults are the first to ignore and walk away, whereas if there are any younger children around THEY are the first to turn a head. It's scary but happens all the time.. people are just too consumed in their own life.. sadly the fact that they're high school students, in my opinion has nothing to do with the lack of compassion :(
@Hipster420 This does not seem to be true, if you check other Bystander-experiments in other groups you notice that agegroup doesnt seem to matter at all.
In this case none of the students are helping because they are part of the "student-group"; and the group walks by; therefor every student who belongs to this group of people follow their group, and does nothing.
Thats why this experiment is more effectful the more people of the same group there are. The peerpreasure to walk by increase.
This is High School , these kids are used to seeing people passed out on the ground, if they stopped to question/help every passed out person they came upon they would never get to class....You should have held the experiment in a grocery store or shopping mall.
@ArticunoMortis This experiment portrays trends. Its not something that happens only in certain areas. Its something that would happen in any society, whether its my high school, your high school, or pretty much anywhere.
nao duvido k aconteça algo parecido se fosse serio, mas esta montagem esta mto ma, ve-se logo k ele esta fingindo e ainda por cima numa escola de miudagem... gostava k a experiencia fosse mais realista
some of them may have seen the camera? but no you're right, I might try this experiment some time you know, it's interesting how people can just ignore things like that, what if he was actually unconscious? lol
and according to the bystander effect the more people present the less chances you get help so I'm not surprised that a high school would be like this
The worst place outside of a prison yard is a school area of any kind. Weakness or being hurt is rewarded with laughter and possibly causing more harm to a person in trouble. Nothing that happens in a high school that shows weakness is shown mercy by and large. I really think a person is actually safer in a prison yard than a school yard.
they all saw the camera...they looked up...there is no way that this would ever happen at the school i went too...people would have been crowded around
lol, I don't think you understand. This is a regular High school. Students dont just go to the front enterance at the ring of the last bell and lay down to go to sleep.
@Wilmerexing actually at cypress people do that i mean i sleep on the grass and in front of guidance all the time probably one of the most chill high schools in the nation.
We staged a fight and someone getting beat up to test this effect out. Nobody cared. They in fact walked THROUGH the fight, only moving their head to avoid punches.
I thought it was kind of twisted how people actually poked him with their feet before moving on.
0nlyhalfevil333 1 month ago
My guess is that less people cared since they were students.
Their first reaction is probably to check if it's a prank.
And some spotted the camera.
But i'm not ruling out the bystander effect.
Although i think i would check him out, i can't be sure.

@BzzFest lol, i didnt noticed it, but after i read your comment. i agree that they keep looking at the video, hahah. and the camera keeps on moving, and at 0:16-18 he moved, and i bet someone sees it, the one who was on the left side near him might have witness it, at 1:00 the girl high five to whoever was still there and saw it. the camera tries to hide whoever was in there at 0:34-38 and focus it to the guy.

Hey Wilmerexing, u shud've have carried out the experiment ,without letting the onlookers know that the person is under surveillance, cause a few looked at the camera . can this point make a difference, of not showing the people the camera?
amannvig 1 year ago 12
@amannvig That would be a good point, but I honestly do not think too many people saw the camera. I think it was just the two kids who walked out together at 0:36

The one person that actually does stop to help os a fucking teacher. Christ
I'm a 14 year old girl, and I would NEVEr do something like that. If someone drops something, I pikc it up for them if possible. If someone falls, I try to help them up (whilst holding back laughter, sometimes). And if someone appears to be unconscious on a concrete floor, I'D DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT FOR FUCKS SAKE

The bystander effect is basically based on the fear on 'what others may say'. That is the reason why nobody does shit. Each one of these fuckers KNOW something is wrong but nobody is doing something so they are all like: 'ok, it must be fine'. C'mon people! wake up! GET THE FUCK INVOLVED!!!

UNfortunately this is how it is. Selfishness. But if it turns out that something serious happened to the boy, and a news crew came out to cover the story....alll of a sudden people will swarm telling about their wonderful attempt to save this poor victim! I've seen it happen. No one cares unless they can gain from the situation somehow. Just my opinion.

These highschool or middle schoolers are conditioned to ignroe such conflicts. If you were still in school, you'd see that they just stand there cheering on a fight.
i wasn't there, but a male was beating up a female and people just stood there.
She was screaming for help, and 5 mins later her friend came. Only if I was there..

@Wilmerexing This experiment has been repeated in many locations with various age and socio-economic groups and the effect remains the same regardless of age. This experiment was carried out in London in the financial district with a male and then female actor playing the victim. They found that people, young and old, walked around the victims when they were dressed in casual, but not unkempt clothes, but when the victim dressed in a suit typical of the financial district, people offered help.
PostHypnoticPress 1 year ago
@Hipster420 that's not exactly true, but you do have a point. you see when you're in your teens, early adulthood and adulthood, you are thinking about nothing but yourself. Kids, mature adults, and elders tedn to be more compassionate. Kids because they haven't been "tainted", mature adultsand elders, because they have already "been there and done that", they would want people to do the same for them, and they are well... mature, so to speak. ^^U

What do you mean? I suggest you watch other bystander videos where only adults are shown. shoot man, when I'm with my mom on the train in nyc the adults ignore those in need of help. You've got another thing coming.

@Hipster420 The frightening thing is, that's not entirely accurate. The Bystander Effect holds veracity in any age group... which, is discomforting. The diffusion of responsibility is something that happens in any group of people.

@Hipster420 interesting, but so is Avatar..it doesn't mean it's based on truth. Time and time again, this has proven to be a fact in all age groups, in all regions of the world. People have been murdered in public, died of natural causes all because no one intervened and helped. When in large numbers, compassion is irrelevant.
ncPsychosis 1 year ago
@ncPsychosis We are all products of our environments. So your saying that you would not help a person in need if others in the area were not? I believe a certain amount of compassion is innate but it's mostly a learned behavior... Maybe you were just raised in a very hostile environment...Intelligence and rational should be able to override the "herd instinct"....But most people live their lives with fear as the main catalyst of their existence.

skarules111 1 year ago
@Hipster420 I think that while we would all like to believe that compassion is something we acquire with age, I do not believe this is true. To be completely honest by the time you reach the "adult" years you have so much going on with your own life and busy "fast food lifestyle" that it's even easier to walk away. If you watch some of the other videos on the Bystander effects, some a little more professionally done - although this one exhibits the basic idea nicely- PART 1
Poproxxz12 10 months ago
@Hipster420 then you'll see that most of them are done in areas where the adults are the first to ignore and walk away, whereas if there are any younger children around THEY are the first to turn a head. It's scary but happens all the time.. people are just too consumed in their own life.. sadly the fact that they're high school students, in my opinion has nothing to do with the lack of compassion :(
Poproxxz12 10 months ago
@Hipster420 This does not seem to be true, if you check other Bystander-experiments in other groups you notice that agegroup doesnt seem to matter at all.
In this case none of the students are helping because they are part of the "student-group"; and the group walks by; therefor every student who belongs to this group of people follow their group, and does nothing.
Thats why this experiment is more effectful the more people of the same group there are. The peerpreasure to walk by increase.

This is High School , these kids are used to seeing people passed out on the ground, if they stopped to question/help every passed out person they came upon they would never get to class....You should have held the experiment in a grocery store or shopping mall.

some of them may have seen the camera? but no you're right, I might try this experiment some time you know, it's interesting how people can just ignore things like that, what if he was actually unconscious? lol
and according to the bystander effect the more people present the less chances you get help so I'm not surprised that a high school would be like this

The worst place outside of a prison yard is a school area of any kind. Weakness or being hurt is rewarded with laughter and possibly causing more harm to a person in trouble. Nothing that happens in a high school that shows weakness is shown mercy by and large. I really think a person is actually safer in a prison yard than a school yard.
