Full question:

When 68-year-old mrs. blake had a flat tire on a fairly isolated highway, she received from a passerby in less than 10 minutes. one year later, when she had a flat tire on a busy freeway, an hour elapsed before someone finally stopped to offer assistance. mrs. blake’s experience best illustrates

a) the fundamental attribution error.

b) the mere exposure effect.

c) group polarization.

d) the bystander effect.

Answer:

Mrs. Blake's experience best illustrates the bystander effect

Step-by-step explanation:

The title bystander effect relates to the aspect in which the higher the number of people being, the small suitable people are to support a person in trouble. When an impasse transpires, bystanders are more prone to hold action if there are fewer or no other observers.

The cultural and behavioral insensibility explained by the bystander effect can be overcome with apprehension and in some cases specific training. By personalizing and individualizing your inquiry, it grows much more troublesome for people to turn you down.
