The bystander effect, the reduction in helping behavior in the presence of other people, has been explained predominantly by situational influences on decision making. Diverging from this view, we highlight recent evidence on the neural mechanisms and dispositional factors that determine apathy in ...
The bystander effect is a social phenomenon that rose into the academic discussion after the murder of Kitty Genovese. One of the most famous empirical demonstrations of the effect was provided by Bibb Latane and John Darley through an experiment we know now as the smoky room experiment....
However, this effect can be well explained. Taking a glimpse at Fig. 4b, we see that the policy of forbidding overfunding does not yield the highest sum of raised funds. This means that the controlled distribution process is more efficient in supporting projects and help them reach the ...
Variation in cancer risk among tissues can be explained by the number of stem cell divisions. Science 347, 78–81 (2015). Article PubMed PubMed Central CAS Google Scholar Dry, J. R., Yang, M. & Saez-Rodriguez, J. Looking beyond the cancer cell for effective drug combinations. Genome...
Individual differences in the effect of stress in social behaviours are partly explained by certain gene polymorphisms (for example, the monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) gene). Glucocorticoids mediate, at least in part, the effects of stress on social behaviours. Monoamines, social neuropeptides, the co...
These include: motivated reasoning, groupthink, authority bias, bystander effect, etc. Rationality is from a newer part of our brain that is still dominated by the more primitive, intuitive, and emotional brain structures of the limbic system. Modern economics assumes the rational brain is in ...
[232]. However, the nature and type of mutations in TMB as a predictor in response to PD1/PD-L1 immune therapy failure in melanoma can be partially explained by the different turnover rates between genomic events and the last stages of MHC presentation [233]. In addition, it is critical ...
Although there were people everywhere, I got worried that the bystander effect might kick in and nobody would do anything about what they were seeing. I was praying that one of the many people sitting on benches nearby who could hear everything and watched this whole episode unfold would be...
bystander senescence is possibly explained for BE persistence by that fact that once naïve/unirradiated cells are exposed to BE-inducing signals, and are recruited into the BE-expressing population, they themselves begin to produce BE-inducing signals. Following cell division in a culture ...
The cytolethal distending toxin (CDT) is produced by many pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria and is considered as a virulence factor. In human cells, CDT exposure leads to a unique cytotoxicity associated with a characteristic cell distension and induces
