本研究探讨了网络欺凌事件中防御行为的行为决定因素。对12- 16岁的青少年进行了三个焦点小组。被发现作为重要的行为决定因素，以捍卫受害者的主要主题是一个低的道德脱离接触，受害者是一个组内成员，旁观者是受欢迎的。旁观者更喜欢离线和亲自处理网络欺凌，安慰受害者被认为比面对欺凌者更可行。由于同伴对被动旁观的接受程度很高，而且缺乏父母对防御行为的支持，青少年没有从他们的环境中得到太多鼓励，对受害者表现出防御行为。这些初步结果表明，友谊和同伴支持干预措施以及与父母和教师的环境干预措施是有希望的。这些初步结果将需要在更深入的分析和定量研究中得到证实。
This study explores behavioural determinants of defending behaviour in cyberbullying incidents. Three focus groups were conducted with youngsters aged 12-16y. Major themes that were found as important behavioural determinants to defend the victim were a low moral disengagement, that the victim is an in-group member and that the bystander is popular. Bystanders preferred to handle cyberbullying offline and in person, and comforting the victim was considered more feasible than facing the bully. With a high peer acceptance of passive bystanding and lack of parental support for defending behaviour, youngsters do not receive much encouragement from their environment to exhibit defending behaviour towards victims. These preliminary results suggest befriending and peer support interventions hold promise, as well as environmental interventions with parents and teachers. These first results will need to be confirmed in more in-depth analyses and in quantitative research.
