Helping as a Function of Number of Bystanders and Ambiguity of Emergency

Previous research has shown that bystanders in groups are less likely to intervene in emergencies than bystanders who are alone (a "numbers effect"). In the present research, in one field and three lab studies, this numbers effect was stronger and there was less help when an emergency could be heard only rather than both seen and heard.
