When everyone shares responsibility, no one personally feels responsible

Evidence

Group decision making is a common practice that can result in otherwise considerate people behaving inhumanely. The faceless group becomes the agent that does the deciding and the authorizing. Members can discount their contribution to the policies and practices arrived at collectively so they are not really responsible. When everyone is responsible, no one really feels responsible. — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 429
