The 5 Decision Making Steps
1. Notice the Event
2. Interpret the Event as a
Problem/Emergency
3. Assume Personal Responsibility
4. Know How To Help
5. Implement the Help
11
Reasons Why People Don’t Help
• Step 1: Notice the Event There are 2 reasons we may not
notice that a problem exists or is about to occur: • Other people/events create distractions.• Sometimes we don’t want to notice!
12
Strategies for STEP 1 Notice the Event
1. Be aware of your surroundings.2. Anticipate problems/Look for red
flags.3. If you do notice a problem,
consider the best intervention strategies and/or the best exit strategies.
13
B. Conformity
14
Conformity: 2 Types• Normative influence–We conform to the group’s rules
in order to fit in, be accepted, be liked, or avoid dislike. But normative influence can create a “Spiral of Silence.”

Strategies for STEP 2 Interpret as a problem/emergency: 1. Investigate an ambiguous event
further - even if others appear unconcerned.
2. Ask others what they think.3. Be mindful of peer pressure and
be prepared to react to it.a. Have the confidence to TAKE A
STAND. b. Choose to be respected rather
than liked. 4. If you are a victim, let someone
know you need help!
17
Strategies for STEP 3Assume Personal Responsibility
1. Don’t assume someone else will do something. Take it upon yourself to STEP UP!
2. Publicly state your intention to help. You can decide later if intervention is unnecessary.
3. Enlist others to STEP UP!
18
Strategies for STEP 4 Have the Skills to Help
1. Learn skills/strategies to STEP UP, depending on the situation.
2. Practice the skills when possible - Be prepared.

Reasons Why People Don’t Help
• Step 5: Implement the Help: STEP UP!
- Sometimes people STILL don’t help. Why?
Costs/Rewards• Perhaps it is dangerous or they perceive more costs than benefits for helping. • *Remember, there are also costs for not helping.
21
Strategies for STEP 5Implement the Help
1. If it is safe and you are willing to help, implement the most appropriate skills and strategies for the situation…and STEP UP!
2. Be the first! Sometimes the actions of one can give strength and permission to others.
3. Create shared and agreed upon standards of behavior and expectations within your team.
