Since her high profile death in 1964, many psychologists have studied further into why bystanders are rendered immobilized in times…

Bystander Effect I found this very interesting and there are many studies today related to this. Also you will find many TV shows based on this. Basically it is a “what would you do” sort of question. This study seems so interesting to me because every individual would be a different result.
