Item Open Access Should I invite them? Bystanders' inclusivity judgements towards outgroup victims and ingroup bullies in intergroup bullying(John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2021-09-16) Gönültaş, Seçil; Yavuz, H. M.; Mulvey, K. L.This study examined bystanders' judgements of bullying and their inclusivity towards refugee victims and in group bully peers. Participants included 587 Turkish adolescents (Mage=13.14,SD=1.60) who were presented with two stories: intergroup (Syrian refugee victim) and intragroup(Turkish victim) bullying. They indicated acceptability of bullying, retaliation, and how likely they would be to include victims and bullies in different social contexts. Empathy, prejudice, desired social distance, and peer norms towards Syrian refugees were examined as predictors. Adolescents in schools with a higher number of Syrian peers were more likely to expect they would include the Syrian victim than adolescents in schools with a lower number of Syrian peers. Further, adolescents with higher empathy were more likely to include the Syrian victim while adolescents with higher prejudice and desired social distance were less likely to include the Syrian victim. The results highlight the importance of attending to bystanders' future interactions with victims and bullies, as bystanders have the opportunity to challenge injustice by promoting inclusive school climates in diverse societies.
