“…This study found that social support can negatively predict reinforcer behavior and outsider behavior and positively predict defender behavior, which is consistent with existing research (Jenkins & Fredrick, 2017 ; Riffle & Demaray, 2021 ; Wood et al, 2017 ) and verified H1. As a vital psychological resource, social support can reduce bystanders’ perceptions of danger when school bullying occurs, improve their ability and confidence to cope with stressful events, and help them take positive protective actions.…”

“…Social support can affect bystander behavior, making its influence mechanism worth exploring (Riffle & Demaray, 2021 ; Wood et al, 2017 ). Bystander behavior has group characteristics (Thornberg et al, 2017 ) and can be influenced by group factors (Salmivalli et al, 2011 ).…”

“…In contrast, individuals who perceive inadequate effective social support are more likely to engage in passive bystander behavior. Defenders typically have more social support (Jenkins & Fredrick, 2017 ), whereas reinforcers and outsiders perceive less support from teachers, classmates, and friends (Riffle & Demaray, 2021 ; Wood et al, 2017 ). Social support from the network can promote defender behavior (Wood et al, 2017 ).…”

“…Social support from the network can promote defender behavior (Wood et al, 2017 ). Bystanders’ social support system, thus, has an important influence on their behavioral choices; however, research investigating how social support affects bystander behavior is still insufficient (Riffle & Demaray, 2021 ; Wood et al, 2017 ).…”

This study examines the influence of social support on bystander behaviors, the mediating and moderating effects of moral disengagement and defender self-efficacy at the individual and class levels, and their cross-level interaction. A total of 1310 children in grades 4–6 completed our questionnaire survey at four-time points between October and December in 2021. The questionnaires include the Scale of Perceived Social Support (T1), Moral Disengagement Scale (T2), Defender Self-Efficacy Scale (T3), and Bullying Participant Behaviors Questionnaire (T4). The multilevel moderated mediating model results show that (1) social support negatively predicts reinforcer and outsider behavior and positively predicts defender behavior; (2) defender self-efficacy plays a mediating role between social support and defender behavior, moral disengagement plays a mediating role between social support and bystander behaviors, and defender self-efficacy and moral disengagement play a chain mediation role between social support and bystander behavior; (3a) class-level defender self-efficacy has a direct impact on defender behavior and moderates the relationship between individual defender self-efficacy and reinforcer behavior; and (3b) class-level moral disengagement has a direct impact on defender and outsider behavior and a cross-level moderated role between individual moral disengagement and reinforcer behavior. These results show that the individual and class level defender self-efficacy and moral disengagement can influence the bystander behavior of primary school students, which is of great significance for schools to develop anti-bullying moral education courses and design measures to improve students’ anti-bullying self-efficacy.

“…It follows that social support can help to increase individuals' inclination to assist the victim of bullying, whereas inadequate or ineffective support may result in greater bystander apathy towards school bullying. Additionally, research has found that defenders report more social support (Jenkins & Fredrick, 2017), while reinforcers and outsiders perceive less support from teachers, peers, and friends (Riffle & Demaray, 2022). This suggests that bystanders' social support systems play a significant role in their behavioral choices.…”
