Collapsing in Public - The Bystander Effect (Social Experiment)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.ย. 2024
- We wanted to investigate the bystander effect by having a person sit and lay on some stairways in a shopping mall. The purpose of this experiment was to see if any people passing by would approach and help this person.
Thank you for watching.
I did kinda look like she was sleeping though.
+Marblez3 I was thinking the same thing, a better test would be for her to be walking along and just collapse.
you could always check to see if she was sleeping.
stranger danger
That is what i was thinking, looks like a homeless person asleep at the mall. If you see it all the time you will think that.
Marblez3 first its improper grammar
It looked like you're just sleeping on the stairs to be honest
Still, isn't something wrong if you sleep on the staircase in a mall!?
@@keplaris2401 no
@@keplaris2401 that just looks like sleeping to me
@@aphradite321 I'm thinking it's strange somone goes to sleep in a shopping centre unless they maybe have a special medical condition. We may deem it a bad pose and the bystanders in the mall just looked at her for a moment before moving on and that may tell us something about the bystander effect. The question is not so much in the pose, in my opinion, as it is wether people arrive to themselfes check out her condition, although certaintly appearance matters. But the collapsed person, her, was the only one lying on the stair which make her an exception; she breaks the norms and no one comes perhaps just because most bystanders would probably interpret the stance as "she's acting weird, but she looks okay." Still, I mean, she might have needed help, and that might in fact help us understand how the bystander effect works.
Psychologists call it 'situational ambiguity' or basic confusion. In the vid people dont really help because they dont kbow whats going on or how to help. This is a problem and leads to many peoples deaths in broad daylight since no one takes action to help the victim.
They think she is homeless and sleeping or wants to be left alone. They aren't bad people for not doing anything.
not really homeless, she has half-decent clothing on her...
She kind of looked like she was sleeping to me
But in a mall? I don't know about you but I don't see many Homeless/ drug-addict/ drunk people flopped over sleeping in malls. If this was on the streets, I probably wouldn't do much. But in a shopping mall, that's not normal, I'd ask if they were okay.

I learned about this through personal experience. I sometimes had asthma attacks when I was at the university. People saw me colapse. I was walking to class surrounded by hundreds of students and teachers. My wheezing and shallow breathing should have been a sign I was in trouble. My vision was blurry, my chest hurt and I felt like there was a fog around my brain making it hard to think. On one occasion, I was on the ground when I remembered my inhaler. As I moved to get it, I touched someone's leg by mistake. She said, "I'm sorry." as she hurried away.I hate knowing that people will not be there for me if I need them. This might not be the best version of this experiment, but the bystander effect is a real thing. The acting could have been Oscar worthy, and I doubt anyone would have offered to help.
:(((((

Same, I had an asthma attack during sports at school. I was on the ground, gasping for air, blurry vision and trying to graps something. I heard people running past me, sope even said "get up!". Luckily my best friend at that time was also here with her class and she saw me, screamed and went to get my inhaler. Aftee her scream I could feel people coming seeing me. If my bf wasn't there, I would have died that day... The bystander effect can be soooo dangerous for the victim.
I think most people don’t know about asthma attacks... I used to not know about it too
That's horrible😥 If you can, you need to directly ask people for help and people often do help if they are asked directly and cannot pretend they don't see you. The same counts for when you see something like this happen, if you don't feel confident helping yourself, just speak. Alternatively, once you start helping someone, people should also be more likely to stop and help.
to be honest it just looks like she's sleeping maybe if she was in a unnatural position in the middle of the floor it would be better get better reactions
Yeah, that's true. But let's be more realistic. What if you were feeling very tired and unwell? You'd try to sit on a bench, or on the stairs. But like many people say, it may let her look like she's asleep. So it's hard to deduce whether the person is in trouble or not. I guess people should just pay more attention?
1:50 Ahhww that hand, the careful 'petting' movement, that is so nice!
To be fair she could of been sleeping she should of fainted in front of them
It's because you look like you were sleeping on the stairs, you needed to collapse in front of people whilst walking to see their reactions
lmao literally my first thought
Well, say that to the people who really fainted.
she actually looked like she was just sleeping to me
Caring for each other is what made humans so successful.
People who stopped and seek what happened are trully wonderful people with wonderful hearts, may all of them be blessed abundantly
I noticed that the only time someone stopped to help was when someone else stopped.
Yeah it's like a chain, the person would of though she was asleep but when you see somebody rushing over to her your gonna think that she might not exactly be sleeping if that makes sense.
*Sorry for my bad grammar*
Ofcourse no one would help her cuz she just looks like she's sleeping and u don't wanna wake up random guy right?
Thank all the people who tried to help!!!
Not sure why no one intervened. If this was somewhere like say outside, I could understand. I mean in big cities there's homeless people, drug-addicts, and drunks flopped over on the streets occasionally. You get used to seeing it so you don't intervene. And beside's sometimes those kinds of people get right nasty and try to verbally/physically attack you.
But inside a shopping mall? You don't see that kind of thing. I'd be concerned if I saw someone flopped over, even if they appeared to be sleeping. That's not normal. That's not something to see on a day to day basis.
So shocked how many people didn't stop to see if she was ok 🤦♀️ it really does make me feel sick 🤢👎
Why do you feel like everybody has to get I loved in everything. And on top of that people could probs see her breathing. And the mall cops should have been around and come to see. Stop thinking everybody is somebody else’s responsibly. Nobody is bad for not wanting to do something. Not everybody is looking tone social people just like minding there own problems and business.
I love how the girl at 3:59 immediately stops and goes to her.
My father died of a massive heart attack. It was 2 days before Christmas. He had gone out to by groceries for Christmas dinner. When he got home he went out to the garden. I found him dead there. I called an ambulance. He was taken to the hospital, but it was too late. If it had happened an hour earlier in the the grocery store or parking lot I am afraid this would have happened. He probably would have thought to be a old drunk man and left there.
If someone touched while i wad sleeping on a staircade i wouldve screamed
For everyone who says it looks like she was only sleeping... that is what it looks like when you pass out for some reason and you should check those ppl anyway...
Totally. I have a condition that causes low blood pressure and I've fainted or almost fainted several times in public. It makes me stumble around half-conscious and I can appear drunk when I'm 'about to go'.
Could be a diabetic attack that makes them stumble and 'look asleep'.
People should not assume anyone is drunk as there are several medical conditions that can make you look like you are sleeping.
And if someone is drunk, then maybe they could need an ambulance too to help them out.
Should had layed DOWN the stairs to look more convincing
“Crime of the Century:Kitty Genevieve murder” brought me here.
I would have though she was on drugs or drunk.
If I saw this is would run to that person and call 911! Id be screaming for help!
Äva Potäto yes and then you realize she was sleeping and she will call a police for shouting and waking her up and even distracting all people. For that single mistake you can be called for Public Disturbal
This makes me advocate for financial independence even more!! More people deserve independent wealth & freedom to survive on their own without troubling people in their lives & proper medical care
This experiment doesn't take in account how it's viewed from a passerby without actually seeing the fall. She looks like she's sleeping, drunk , passed out , etc Regardless most ppl leave ppl alone if they look like that. These days someone will sue you for harassment.
"Security !"
I wouldn't go anywhere near her, it's not my job and why risk being accused of molestation by approaching and touching or shaking her. It happens.
@Philip Norton
Yeah, it happens daily that you tap someone's arm and the next moment you're in prison.
Dear lord, your channel is empty and made for fearmongering. *You aren't even trying to cover it up.* The only thing positive about your comment is that appareantely others have seen through your tricks and haven't upvoted you. Not even yourself. You've been reported, numbnut.
She was wearing casual clothes.
If you want to be noticed wear business clothes ir something flashy.
That's the only way anyone intervienes.
This now makes me to be wary not to have any form of medical episode in public in Sweden. Your as safe as being in Chicago as a comparison.
She literally look like sleeping
I suggest not to change the location but change the sleeping shiz xD
Det såg ut som hon sov eller satt ner och väntade. Det var tydligare att hon hade något problem när hon "låg" ner. Kan varit därför inte så många stannade upp. Tyckte ändå att det var ett bra experiment, funderar på att göra en "Blind Trust" i sommar.
The one at stair is like typical sleep sit position here, i think that's why no responses
There is an incredible book out now about why we do and do not act in these situations, called 'Why We Act; Turning Bystanders into Moral Rebels'. In this situation in thr vid, people are most likely not helping because of what psychologists call 'situational ambiguity'. People arent sure of whats goin on and dont know how to act. However, you should call 911 because you could really be saving somebodys life. Too many accounts of victims needing help sutrounded by tons of people and no one intervenes. Often the victims even die in broad daylight because no one thinks to help.
hmm. it did look like she was sleeping but you have thoughts that come into the back of your mind where you begin to think " is she asleep? - overdosed? - passed out or needing some other medical help" like you never really know I would check on her because you wouldn't wanna see her on the news the next day ... just because your assuming and you won't know until you go and touch her.
It's practically an unwritten rule that you don't go and touch any sleeping person, for their safety and yours. Don't know what nasty germs they've got, even if they have decent clothing.
@@ono_o_o
You can tap their arm and with all due respect, unless they are covered in vomit (and then you can just call 911 without touching them) you're not going to catch nasty germs.
When in doubt, ask the helpdesk to tap her on the shoulder.
1:55 God bless you
Even the comments is showing signs of bystander effect..
2:01 hermoine granger is that u?!
I went to an outdoor all day concert and it was really hot after about 7 hrs of me getting sun burn I went to sit somewhere near the bathrooms in the shade. I can't count the number of people that stopped and asked if I was ok.
I wouldve been giggling whenever someone approached
If it were in Algeria, it would not be like honey and bees around it. Praise be to God. Our country has a merciful people Long live Algeria🇩🇿
im sure most people think hes whacked out on some kind of drugs.
Don't do that in a liberal state in the US. They will just assume you are on drugs. But in a conservative state you'll have dozens of people helping.
Conservatives are scum
Ummm its because she kinda look like she is sleeping but u have to try a more obvious pose like laying down randomly
You know you could just stand and then fall.
