Joel – I plan on contributing to this project by recording the video. The video of our example of bystander effect will hopefully introduce or reinforce an interesting message that people can take away from. After our presentation, maybe more people can react differently if they are in the situation or even just go into them with a different mindset.

I plan on contributing to this project by being in the video. I hope my actions in the actual video/slideshow help reinforce the message that we are trying to portray regarding the bystander effect.
Gunin –
Psychology is the study of a person’s mind and behavior. We learn why someone does what they do. A very interesting phenomenon called the Bystander effect is what my group plans to explore. We will go in a busy area of Manhattan and try to recreate the experiment originally by John Darley and Bibb Latane. I will be directing the video in which my group member Lawrence will star. I will try my best to observe ALL the people walking by, not just the ones close to Lawrence. It will be very interesting to see the results and I expect the results to show us how New Yorkers aren’t very empathetic.
