Answer 1

The bystander effect

Explanation:

The bystander effect is the famous term in social psychology. It occurs when people discourage to help who is in need because of other people present. The bystander number will impact the situation. The greater the number of the bystander, less likely to help a person who is in need or distress. People take action seriously when there is no presence of other eyewitnesses. Latane and Darley was the founder of the bystander effect.
