“…(2018) found that they: had increased awareness of bullying, which led to increased responsibility; were empowered to act, which led to positive feelings; had strategies to intervene, yet some were fearful of intervening, because of reprisals. While these existing evaluations of bystander training show increases in participants’ awareness, confidence and willingness to intervene in incidents after the training, it is not clear whether they actively intervene in incidents after the training (Katz & Moore, 2013; Kettrey, Marx & Tanner‐Smith, 2019; Levine, Philpot & Kovalenko, 2020; Stojanov et al., 2021; Storer, Casey & Herrenkohl, 2016).…”

“…In the absence of data indicating a positive change in participants’ bystander behaviour after the training, Stojanov et al. (2021) pointed to some aspects of the bystander training that facilitated participants’ understanding of sexual violence and that also lessened the chance of bystanders actively intervening in sexual violence. They found that the training helped increase participants’ knowledge about sexual violence behaviours as existing on a continuum and that failure to challenge verbally abusive sexual violence behaviours can lead to physically violent sexual behaviours.…”

“…Stojanov et al. (2021) also found that the context of the sexual violence and the dynamics of the group in which incidents take place influences bystander intervention. Participants said that more serious acts of sexual violence might present a threat to their safety, thereby preventing them from intervening.…”

“…Stojanov et al. (2021), for example, recommend that future bystander training incorporate role plays so that participants can rehearse how to safely intervene in sexual violence behaviours thereby overcoming the barriers to bystander intervention. Yet more research is needed outside the US context (Fenton & Mott, 2017; Kettrey, Marx & Tanner‐Smith, 2019; Labhardt et al., 2017), and that moves beyond a focus on sexual violence bystander prevention training, to assess what aspects of bystander training work.…”

Research shows that bystander training has the potential to reduce violence and abuse. It is not clear how and why the training works. We evaluated bystander training to find out what works. We found that interactive techniques, such as group discussions, ‘the video’, and the use of real‐world examples were the best ways of delivering the training because they stood out and were remembered by participants. These findings add to the paucity of research on what works in bystander training, and in doing so, raises implications for the design and delivery of future training.

The systematic review (PRISMA) on sexual harassment (SH) in academia looks at studies conducted since 2018 with the aim to direct updated research findings toward an effective prevention perspective. The findings confirm that academia is a breeding ground for SH due to power imbalances and that vulnerabilities related to the macro-dynamics of power, social and cultural inequalities are risk factors for SH. It is recommended that SH prevention interventions in academia 1. adopt a socio-ecological perspective; 2. include evidence-based programs such as those dedicated to bystanders; 3. are integrated with each other through valuable networking and multistakeholder involvement and 4. pay attention to support complaints, victim listening and intake activities. Future SH studies should promote: SH standardized definitions, intersectional perspectives, “all targets” surveys, research on protective factors, research on perpetrator perspective. Future interventions should act at the cultural level fighting structural inequality and a greater enhancement of evidence-based programs is required.
