The Bystander Effect Explained: Why We Watch But Don't Act (MW35)

In this episode, I provide a personal life update, including my experiences working in a pediatric unit and the challenges of balancing two jobs. The main topic of discussion is the bystander effect—why people tend to do nothing in critical situations when others are present. I delve into the psychology behind this phenomenon, discussing factors like diffusion of responsibility, social cues, and the fear of social judgment. I also explain how these factors manifest in real-world situations, including online harassment and workplace bullying. Finally, I offer practical advice on how to become an upstander instead of a bystander, encouraging viewers to take action in critical moments.
