Question

At a crowded park, Kayla sees an old man clutching his heart and stumbling. If Kayla assumes that someone else will help the old man, she is experiencing the phenomenon known as __________.

Answer 1

Answer:

Diffusion of responsability.

Explanation:

This is a sociopsychological phenomenon in which an individual is less likely to take action or responsibility for an action or inaction when there are others present. The individual, thereby, assumes that others will take action.

This is what Kayla is thinking and experiencing when she sees the old man stumbling. She assumed that someone else would help the old man.
