Diffusion of responsibility is essentially not feeling an urgent need to step in and help. Because you are assuming that others who are witnessing the circumstances will be the ones to jump in and help (Gilovich et al.‚ 2013). The bystander intervention theory explains that people are less likely to help out in a situation‚ because they just assume that someone else will do it (Gilovich et al.‚ 2013)). I believe that one of the obstacles that prevent people from helping is that they simply feel underqualified
