Latané & Darley and Levine have contributed to psychological study into this matter, using these different methods of experimentation to reach conclusions regarding the bystander effect. This essay will begin by describing the different uses of evidence in both methods. Furthermore, it will discuss what these methods have in common, for they equally attempt to understand why bystander behaviour occurs, and the reasons that they differ.

A reflection of the research conference Attending the conference enlightened my view about using technology in nursing. Although I do not advocate for using technology heavily in classrooms, I went to the conference with an open mind and the possibilities discussed were enormous.
