write an article on Bystander Experiment. It needs to be at least 1250 words.
 .In the due course, the observers looked to see what the bystanders would do, and later they had to record the response in the notebook. The victims (actors) were between the ages of 20 to 40. The findings indicated that female and male A’s were more likely to receive help from cross-sex helpers than from same-sex helpers. Females were found to be twice as likely to receive help and slightly more likely to give help than males.
According to literature, in western societies, it has been indicated that gender is an important factor in helping behavior, despite the results have been contradictory. I have been found that men are more likely to help as compared to women(Feinman, 1978).On the other hand, women have been found to be more likely to help than men(Bihm, Gaudet,& Sale,1979). There are as well other studies that have indicated that there is no difference between the two(Benson, Karabenick,& Lerner,1976). The person gender that is being helped is a critical factor in helping behavior due to women and men could be more willing to help an opposite-sex individual. More so, the person attractiveness who is being helped can influence the willingness to help, particularly for male helpers. On the other hand, both women and men could ask for less help from a helper who is attractive to the cross-gender. A meta-analysis that was based on 99 studies on the gender influence on helping behavior has indicated that men helped more often as compared to women as well as they were more likely to help women more than men.
The effect of the bystander is an example, where an individual could think about the consequences before acting. This is particularly in a densely populated place where people could opt to help (Vaughan & Hogg,1973)., In situations that are not emergence, males are seen to be less likely in helping as opposed to high-cost situations (Lantane & Darley, 1970). The reward cost or is the loss or gain of something due to either not helping or helping. .
