- (D) Bystander intervention studies have shown that the fewer people around, the more likely it is
that someone will help another person in need. One reason posited for this phenomenon is
diffusion of responsibility, the idea that when others are present, any single person experiences a
decreased feeling of responsibility to help. Interestingly, religious beliefs have not been found to
predict helping behavior. People are more likely to help, however, when they are in good moods,
an idea known as the “feel-good, do-good phenomenon.”
