According to the article "Individuals in Groups" by Carol Tavris, Diffusing responsibilities in emergencies is when individuals among groups of people fail to act during danger in order help others. I do see that most of the time individuals among groups will not react, because they think someone else has already taken care of the situation, and the larger the group the less likely is for someone to respond to any situation.
I found out, individuals react to extreme situations more often than when there is a large group of people.I learned that extreme situations were often taken care better by an individual person because no one was around. I myself feel a greater amount of courage while alone than in company of others. Extreme situations are often ignored by people not because they want to avoid to help, but maybe the reason is based on the fact that one does not want to cause personal involvement.
People react in accordance to who is around, and this psychological reaction has an effect on how a person responds to any given dangerous situation. I think that it also depends on the situation, for example; we are bound to obey the flow from the reaction that an entire group of people will have in a dangerous situation. If the entire group runs I am pretty sure I will run too. My entire disregard of the situation will dissipate because of the unknown parameter of the situation.
I think that "Diffusion of responsibility" is a generalization of how an individual is supposed to react to danger among groups of people. Often we disregard the obvious not because we fear judgement but because the origins of the situation are unknown to us at the time. Causing us to ignore to help others. The grater amount of courage given by a person is when they see that no one is around to help.
