Authors: Bill Cerbin, Melanie Cary, Rob Dixon, Carmen Wilson, University of Wisconsin-La Crosse

Excerpt: The immediate academic learning goal of the lesson was to develop students' ability to explain the "bystander effect" and how the presence of other people can affect individual behavior. A broader goal of the lesson was to develop students' ability to explain human behavior in terms of multiple factors or variables, which is an important facet of social science reasoning.
