Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has found that increased self-awareness leads to increased helpfulness in bystanders, as they are more attuned to their own feelings and are therefore more likely to empathize with the victim and feel a sense of responsibility to take action. Depression and anxiety, on the other hand, can decrease a person's willingness to help. Self-acceptance may have some impact on willingness to help, but it is not as strong a factor as self-awareness.
