I had to respond to this. I found many aspects of this thread refreshing
and interesting, and totally relevant to teaching. Bystander effect and
diffusion of responsibility are one of the more interesting topics that I
use to generate interest in students, and bring to life, issues that are
important to all of us. While some of the contributors did offer more
informative, academically sound and useful information, if it were not for
the uninformed contributors, we would not have benefited from them.
I am especially appreciative of those who share their PsychInfo lit searches
since it provides me with up-to-date references and saves me a trip to my
school and an hour of my time, which as an adjunct instructor, is very
limited. Now I can easily order the articles through interlibrary loan,
since my college has limited assets.
Thanks To Paul Smith on that.

Subject: RE: bystander effect and cross-cultural research
Dear Tipsters,
We have had a number of informative responses to the question
concerning culture/bystander/FAE, particularly the detailed one
from Paul Smith.
May I humbly suggest that if people have a question about an issue,
they do their own homework then inform us in the context of teaching?
I, for one, do not appreciate uninformed opinion. Of course, if
someone searches and does not find, it is appropriate to ask for
guidance.
Sincerely,
Stuart
