Answer:

Diffusion of responsibility

Explanation:

Diffusion of responsibility is a phenomenon where a person is less likely to take responsibility for action when they are in the presence of a large group of people. This happens because the individual assumes that others are either responsible for taking action or have already done so.

Since they are part of a big group of people, people will tend to assume that someone else will probably help or, if nobody is helping, that the situation is not that serious. Thus, they don't feel pressured to respond.

In this example, Roger was screaming for help as he was being beaten up. There were about 15 people standing nearby but none of them came forward to help. We can assume that, <u>since they were part of a large group, each one of them assumed that the others were going to help Roger or maybe that the situation wasn't that serious</u>. Thus, this lack of help illustrates diffusion of responsibility.

Information processing in older adults shows a bias toward what type of information?
kiruha [24]

Information processing in older adults shows a bias toward positive versus negative information.

<h3>Explain positive versus negative information.</h3>
  • By combining the interpretation of a statement's truth value with its state of events, or "situation," one might infer information about the circumstance.
  • It is positive when it permits a legitimate conclusion about the situation's nature, and it is negative when it permits a legitimate inference merely about what the situation is not.
  • A cognitive prejudice known as the negativity bias causes negative occurrences to have a greater psychological impact than happy ones.
  • Even when negative and good occurrences are of equal size, negativity bias still exists, making us more sensitive to negative events.
  • There is a bias toward positive information vs negative information in how older persons perceive information.

How does acceptance of responsibility influence effective communication
yKpoI14uk [10]

<span>One of the ways that a person could be responsible is by saying ‘I’ in all the things he would say, instead of ‘we’. Example, ‘We don’t like the way you act awhile ago.’ Change it to ‘I don’t like the way you act awhile ago’. Here, you are establishing ownership on the things you want to say to the person.</span>
