- (B) Pluralistic ignorance is defined as the tendency of people to look toward others for cues about
how to act, particularly in emergency situations. Pluralistic ignorance is often tested in bystander
intervention studies. Pluralistic ignorance can be seen as a kind of modeling or conformity that
occurs in emergencies. However, pluralistic ignorance is a superior answer due to its clear
relationship to emergency situations. Diffusion of responsibility is the finding that the more people
who witness an emergency, the less likely any one is to intervene.
