Marco van Bommel

Researcher — online bystander effect (name spelled 'Marque van Brommel' in source)

Researcher whose online forum experiment found the bystander effect replicates in digital spaces — participants were less likely to respond to a (staged) distressed forum user when more people appeared to be logged in simultaneously. Given in the transcript as "Marque van Brommel," likely a mis-transcription of researcher Marco van Bommel. Referenced, not interviewed, in this episode. See Van Bommel Online-Forum Bystander Study.
