Bystander Effect and Emergency Reactions

The video explores human reactions to staged thefts and accidents using hidden cameras. It highlights the bystander effect, where individuals in groups are less likely to help quickly. The experiments show that not everyone reacts the same way, and sometimes unexpected individuals step up to assist.
