Resist or avoid? Sad study suggests bullying victims are on their own either way

Workplace bullying can corrode organisations and wreck individual lives. Research has revealed more and more about effects on victims and the motives of the perpetrators. But bullying is often a performance that demands an audience: you can’t ostracise someone from an empty room, or gossip about them to the wind. So it’s worth looking at the third ingredient in the bullying mix: the bystander. New research in the Journal of Social Psychology takes on this task, looking at the factors that dispose a bystander against bullying victims, and what might encourage them to step in and help.
工作场所的欺凌会侵蚀组织结构并毁坏个人生活。研究揭示了越来越多的对受害者的影响以及肇事者的动机。但欺凌通常是一个要求观众参与的演出:你不能从一间空房中排斥某人,或对着空气说长道短。所以值得看一看在欺凌组合中的第三个要素:旁观者。在《社会心理学杂志》上的新研究承担了这项任务,这项研究着眼于处理针对欺凌受害者的旁观者,以及什么可能会鼓励他们介入其中并施于帮助。
