The present study examines adolescents' perceptions of both constructive and aggressive forms of bystander support and how these perceptions differ according to whether an acquaintance of the target, a friend of the target or a public figure is providing it. Ninety-nine adolescents between 13 and 17 years old ( = 14.42; = 1.35) participated in this study. Adolescents viewed a total of nine videos, each depicting a public cyberbullying situation on Instagram and a form of constructive or aggressive bystander support from an acquaintance, a friend, or a public figure in relation to the target of cyberbullying. After each video, adolescents were asked how helpful or hurtful the bystander's form of support was on a Likert-type scale. A significant relationship was found between the bystander's relationship to the target, the form of support and the helpfulness of bystander support. Overall, support from friends was perceived as helpful regardless of whether it was constructive or aggressive. Moreover, it was seen as harmful for acquaintances to engage in aggressive behaviours in support of targets of cyberbullying, but generally helpful for public figures to engage in those same behaviours.
本研究考察了青少年对建设性和攻击性旁观者支持的看法，以及这些看法如何因提供支持的是目标的熟人、朋友还是公众人物而有所不同。99 名 13 至 17 岁的青少年（ = 14.42； = 1.35）参与了这项研究。青少年总共观看了九个视频，每个视频都描绘了 Instagram 上的一个公众网络欺凌情境，以及熟人、朋友或公众人物对网络欺凌目标的建设性或攻击性旁观者支持的一种形式。在每个视频之后，青少年被要求在李克特量表上对旁观者支持的帮助程度进行评分。旁观者与目标的关系、支持的形式和旁观者支持的帮助程度之间存在显著关系。总的来说，朋友的支持无论建设性还是攻击性，都被认为是有帮助的。此外，熟人在支持网络欺凌目标时采取攻击性行为被视为有害，但公众人物采取同样的行为通常被视为有益。
