Answer:

Pluralistic ignorance

Step-by-step explanation:

Pluralistic ignorance occurs when people go along with an action or a norm, because others are doing the same, even though internally they do not agree with it.

Pluralistic ignorance therefore explains a situation where bystanders do not react to an emergency because other bystanders appear unconcerned.
