Question

Which of the following is a possible consequence of the bystander effect?

A. Police action will be sufficient.
B. Crimes may not be reported.
C. Media reports may be faulty.
D. School attendance will decline.

Answer 1

The correct answer is B, because the bystander effect means that if there are many people around you, you are not likely to help a person in need or to report a crime, whereas when you are alone, you are more likely to do so.
