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]

[04-18-09] Saturday Meetup: Austin, Steffen, Tyler, Leci, and Zuleyn

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."


Next Class:
Bring footage to class
Consolidate all of our footage
Get footage to imovie
Synergize

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:

Group Goal: 

Team Rules:

• Set up basic rules and guidelines: Black= rules from class, Blue = rules i altered, or added Green = rules i was unsure about

Ex: Not showing up to meetings, Showing up to meetings unprepared, Not finishing assigned work, Not contributing to the group, are all examples of potential strikes.
• The legitimacy of a strike can be appealed and taken to a vote if desired. A majority of group members must decide against the strike if the strike is to be repealed.
• After 3 strikes a group member may be voted out of the group, vote should be anonymous. 5 or more members must vote the group member out in order for the member to be expelled from the group.
• Rules may be added at a later date, as long as a unanimous vote in favor of the rule is attained.
