The bystander-effect: a meta-analytic review on bystander intervention in dangerous and non-dangerous emergencies.
TLDR
This meta-analysis integrates the bystander literature from the 1960s to 2010, provides statistical tests of potential moderators, and presents new theoretical and empirical perspectives on the novel finding of non-negative bystander effects in certain dangerous emergencies as well as situations where bystanders are a source of physical support for the potentially intervening individual.
