This study examined whether type of bullying and students’ trust in their teacher’s ability to manage the class would be associated with reaction of the bystander (i.e. defending, passive, and pro-bullying).

They were randomized to one of five vignettes depicting different types of bullying (direct/ostracism, indirect/ostracism, direct/devaluing, indirect/devaluation, and control condition) and imagined that the situation they read in the vignette happened to them. Students with higher trust in their teacher were... (More)

Students with higher trust in their teacher were more inclined to defend victims. Students reported more passive bystanding in indirect devaluing compared to direct ostracizing. Finally, type of bullying interacted with trust in the teacher on passive bystanding. (Less)
