Abstract
This article reviews bystanding behavior and analyzes examples of twelve bystander games in personal, organizational, and national contexts. It suggests some causal explanations as well as ideas for turning these games into opportunities for responsible involvement, intimacy, and autonomy. In conjunction with a previous paper (Clarkson, 1987), a comprehensive theoretical contribution is made toward identifying and understanding the Bystander role as the fourth game role in the Drama Triangle (Karpman, 1968).
