Diffusion of responsibility on social networking sites
作者：
Highlights：
• Social networking presents opportunities for diffusion of responsibility and so research on prosocial behavior.
• Participants viewed a mock social networking site embedded with requests for help.
• We manipulated the number of other people online and the time since the request was made.
• Offers to help were influenced by the number of ‘others’ online as well as the time of posting the request.
• Offers to help were more consistent with the social influence model than the social impact theory.
