Question 2 • RYLE25 - PSYCHOLOGY - FULL CREDIT

What effect does an increase in group size have on diffusion of responsibility?

Answer
A
Increased group size reduces perceived individual responsibility.
B
Increased group size increases perceived individual responsibility.
C
Increased group size does not affect perceived individual responsibility.
D
Increased group size forces one to take individual responsibility.

Explanation

As group size increases, responsibility for responding is shared among more people. Each person is therefore more likely to feel that someone else will act, reducing their perceived individual responsibility. This is why “increased group size reduces perceived individual responsibility” is correct.
