easy · MCAT psych-soc
In the context of social psychology, a person witnesses an individual's car break down on a busy highway but continues driving without stopping to help. The driver thinks, 'They probably don't have a cell phone and are lazy about car maintenance,' while ignoring the fact that they themselves are late for a critical job interview. This demonstrates:
- Self-serving bias and deindividuation
- The bystander effect and groupthink
- Cognitive dissonance and social facilitation
- The fundamental attribution error and actor-observer bias
