experiments on presence of others

Experiments on the presence of others explore how individuals behave differently when they are alone versus when others are nearby. For example, the classic "bystander effect" study shows people are less likely to help someone in distress if others are present, due to diffusion of responsibility. Other experiments examine how social cues influence decision-making, performance, or conformity. These studies reveal that social context can impact motivation, perception, and actions, highlighting the powerful role that the presence of others plays in shaping human behavior across various situations.
