Bystander Effect
About
The aggressor effect is the idea where having too much exposure to violence causes the person near the situation to not be responsive to help. It is also the idea where if too many people are present, they are more likely to not react to what is happening. [1]
Background
The bystander effect is one of the three major strains of media violence. It is rooted from the theory of desensitization. Desensitization is the response of media violence turning into the acceptance of using violence. [2]
