The present field study investigated the interplay between the presence of a passive, uninvolved bystander (not present versus present) in a simulated bike theft and expected negative consequences (low consequences versus high consequences) in predicting intervention behavior when no physical victim is present. It was found that an additional bystander increases individual intervention in the situations where the expected negative consequences for the helper in case of intervention were high (i.e., when the bike thief looks fierce or seemed aggressive) compared with the situations where the expected negative consequences for the helper were low (i.e., when the bike thief does not look fierce or displayed no aggression). However, no such effect for high vs. low expected negative consequences was observed when no additional bystander observed the critical situation. The results of this study are discussed in light of previous laboratory findings on expected negative consequences and bystander intervention.
