John M. Darley on Terminology - Dictionary of Arguments
Haslam I 201 City dweller/homo urbanis/Terminology/LatanéDarley: After a murder in New York in March 1964 that 38 witnesses had observed from their homes without calling the police, Darley wrote that we needed to think about a new kind of man, ‘homo urbanis’, the city dweller, who cared only for himself. (Darley in Evans, 1980(1): 216). Haslam I 205 Latané and Darley identified two processes that they suggested served to inhibit intervention in emergency situations (>Experiment/Darley): A. diffusion of responsibility and B. pluralistic ignorance. A. Diffusion of responsibility refers to the idea that as the number of other people present in a given situation increases, the responsibility that a given individual feels for responding to that situation is correspondingly diminished. B. Pluralistic ignorance refers to the idea that the presence of other people who remain inactive or seem unconcerned during an event can dissuade or discourage an individual from intervention, even though they might have felt concerned by the situation. 1.Evans, R.I.
