Diffusion+of+Responsibility

toc = Definition: = The feeling among bystanders at an emergency that the responsibility for helping is shared by the group, making each person feel less compelled to act than if he or she alone bore the total responsibility. Gen Psych, Chapter 14, Pg. 458

= Examples: = If you see a homeless person begging for change on the street, you feel less obligated to give them money when there are a lot of people around because you think every other person is going to give them money.
