Singling out a specific person and asking him or her for help increases the likelihood of receiving assistance. This is because of the "bystander effect," where individuals in a group are less likely to offer help to a person in need due to the assumption that someone else will take action. By directly asking a specific person for help, you clearly assign the responsibility to them, making it more likely they will respond.
