Emily H.
Define and discuss the ways in which diffusion of responsibility, pluralistic ignorance, and victim effects can influence helping behavior. Include ways social and cultural pressure, and beliefs about "self" affect helping behavior. Use two to three scholarly sources to support your thinking, your textbook can be used as one of the resources.

In the Readings and Resources, watch the ABC News video demonstrating the bystander effect. Discuss the differences shown among the helping responses based on the type of “victim.” What do you think made people more likely to stop and help for the first victim scenario? What distinguished the people who stopped for the second victim scenario from those who did not stop? Why do you think only Linda stopped in the last scenario? Support your response with scholarly material from this week’s readings.
