Miroir Social - Espace ouvert : l’effet spectateur
►http://www.miroirsocial.com/actualite/espace-ouvert-l-effet-spectateur

L’effet spectateur, c’est sous ce terme que la psychologie sociale désigne, depuis les années soixante-dix, le processus par lequel la décision personnelle de porter de l’aide à une personne victime d’une agression est diminuée par le nombre de témoins assistant à la scène. En 1968, à New York, une femme, Kitty Genovese, est violée en pleine rue. Sur les 38 témoins présumés de la scène, aucun ne lui aurait porté assistance. Le fait divers attire à l’époque l’attention de chercheurs en psychologie sociale : Latané et Darley, qui s’appliquent à comprendre les raisons de cette inaction.
