“…Bystander intervention may also prove to help prevent LGB mistreatment of sexual minorities. The bystander perspective prioritizes education and training programs to reduce mistreatment by helping concerned individuals develop awareness, personal responsibility, and empowerment to intervene when witnessing violence or harassment [83][84][85]. Bystander training and their evaluations have shown the effectiveness of observers acting to reduce mistreatment incidents based on sexual orientation and promote inclusive environments in schools, colleges, and workplaces [83][84][85][86][87].…”

Colombia has extensive laws prohibiting discrimination against sexual minority people. However, violence and discrimination toward sexual minorities are still frequent. While a growing body of research shows that sexual minority people experience elevated rates of discrimination and domestic abuse globally, little research has been conducted on these issues affecting sexual minorities in Colombia specifically. Using minority stress theory as a conceptual framework, this paper aims to fill this gap by examining the prevalence of experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV) and witnessed discrimination and the relationship of these stressors to self-reported health among a national sample of sexual minority Colombians. We found that bisexual individuals experienced higher rates of physical and sexual IPV, compared to lesbian and gay individuals. Additionally, sexual minority Colombians who experienced IPV and witnessed discrimination were more likely to report having poorer health, compared to those who had not. We discuss the implications of our findings for future research and clinicians working with sexual minority clients.

“…It is possible that some people with aggressive humor become aware of the negative outcomes of their humor style and change accordingly over time (Tsai et al, 2021). One likely outcome is that bystanders might find words involving aggressive humor offensive and support the target, so individuals with aggressive humor might vary their expressions of humor toward different people based on online normative tolerance for such humor (Mulvey et al, 2016;Thomas et al, 2020;Katz et al, 2022). Due to the complexity of these effects, we recommend that future researchers employ longitudinal studies as the best way to capture these effects.…”

The literature has acknowledged the correlation between aggressive humor style and cyberbullying perpetration; however, little is known about how this occurs. In this study, we sought to gain an understanding of how and when someone with an aggressive humor style may develop into a perpetrator of cyberbullying. We propose that whether an individual’s aggressive humor style results in cyberbullying perpetration depends on online social norms of tolerance for aggressive humor. When online normative tolerance for aggressive humor is high, individuals’ aggressive humor style is positively correlated with their moral disengagement, which, in turn, increases their intention to commit cyberbullying. When online normative tolerance for aggressive humor is low, the effect of individuals’ aggressive humor style on their moral disengagement is attenuated, which, in turn, weakens the relationship between aggressive humor style and cyberbullying perpetration. A total of 305 Chinese university students were recruited to participate in the experiment, and we found support for this hypothesis across the experiment. Several theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

“…Still, the perpetrator is unaware and does not care about the victim's feelings. Other researches show that disparaging humor fosters a greater tolerance for ill-treatment (Katz et al, 2022).…”

The emergence of several phenomena of sexual violence on television media between lecturers and students raises concerns for all circles in the campus environment. Unfortunately, most of the student victims are unaware that they are getting sexual harassment, especially verbally. One form of verbal abuse is sexist humor. This study aimed to find about what makes sexist humor a form of sexual violence and what we can do to prevent and control it at UIN Raden Fatah Palembang. This study used a qualitative research method. In collecting the data, a quantitative method was used by distributing the questionnaires, and qualitatively, by conducting in-depth interviews. The theory used was the theory of Communication Privacy Management (CPM). The findings and results of this study concluded that this sexist humor will continue to occur if there is no prevention and proper handling on campus, mainly because there are no institutions that can act as bridges for students to report, consult and protect victims. Another thing that is also a concern is the lack of understanding and information about sexual violence, both verbally and non-verbally, among students.
