The Bystander Effect What is the Bystander Effect?: The Bystander Effect is the more of a crowd there is, the less likely one of the people are to act on something.

In an instant, a person collapses in a store. A form of heart disease has turned one victim’s world upside down. Many bystanders surround the victim, but no one rushes to help.
