John M. Darley

John M. Darley was a renowned social psychologist known for studying human behavior, especially in situations involving helping others and moral decision-making. He researched how people respond to emergencies, what influences their willingness to help, and the social factors that can either encourage or hinder prosocial actions. His work has deepened understanding of the bystander effect, where individuals are less likely to help when others are present, and has provided insights into ethical behavior in society. Darley's research has important implications for promoting compassion and responsible action in everyday life and crises.
