Diffusion of Responsibility:
Diffusion of responsibility is the idea that people are less likely to intervene to help someone who seems to need it if there are others present, because they perceive responsibility as being shared between all present, and therefore see themselves as being less responsible personally.

Bystanders effect:
The bystander effect is a social psychological phenomenon in which individuals are less likely to offer help in an emergency situation when other people are present. The probability of help is inversely proportional to the number of bystanders. In other words, the greater the number of bystanders, the less likely it is that any one of them will help.[1]

2nd Day: Stealing my bike
Location: Downtown Santa Cruz

We did more experiments with Tyler stealing "Steffen's" bike. This time, no one attempted to stop him, although numerous people told Steffen that they saw his bike getting stolen. Some people even used excuses like, "I was using my iphone, so i couldn't do anything."

Experiment:Stealing my bike
Location: Boardwalk Wharf

We took several different takes of "Stealing my bike". After getting comfortable with filming and our positioning, we started to get some real results. One man actually jumped up from his seat ready to chase Tyler down after he "stole" my bike. We were swift to assure the man this was a social experiment because he was ready to beat some ass. An A+ citizen for sure. Satisfied with our progress and slightly scared of being apprehended by more outstanding citizens, we decided to call it a day.

Next time:
