Answer:Diffusion of responsibility

Explanation:Diffusion of responsibility is a pyschological effect that causes us to not act when there are many people around us with a belief that someone else except us will act.

For example, when we see someone being attacked in the middle of a large city , we may all stand and look but no one thinks of calling for help because everyone thinks someone else is doing it.

It leads to a bystander effect, when everyone stand and look and do nothing about a situation in front of them.

We feel less pressure to act when there are many people around us, one person thinks someone has called the police or this is not a serious matter if no one is doing anything about it.

Operant conditioning is a system that attempts to influence the strength of a behaviour by giving punishments or rewards. It was developed by B. F. Skinner in his 1938 book: "The Behaviour of Organisms: An Experimental Analysis."

The system can be divided in reinforcement, which is directed towards increasing the behaviour, or punishment, which tries to reduce it.

Both reinforcement and punishment can further be divided into positive (adding a stimulus) or negative (removing a stimulus).
