Question

The dance instructor asks his class for three volunteers to show some new moves. There are twenty people in class and everyone is silent. One girl, Janie looks around the room to see if anyone is going to volunteer first. Then maybe she won't have to volunteer if someone else does. Which term describes why Janie didn't want to volunteer? bystander effect diffusion of responsibility social facilitation conformity

Answer 1

The term that describes why Janie didn't want to volunteer is probably the diffusion of responsibility. I think this is the answer ( and this is the answer I put on my quiz ) because the responsibility does not have to belong to Janie since there are nineteen other students that can volunteer.

Answer: Diffusion of responsibility

Note: I don't think the answer above is correct

none; live

Answer 2

I would say she is displaying social facilitation conformity. She would be very likely to dance to her hearts desire when she is alone, however in a group she is anxious and does not want to volunteer. Janie is experiencing what many go through in a crowd or pressuring situation. She is embarrassed.
