Research has shown that the interference of bystanders could eff ectively stop bullying in time. In light of a documented shortage of empirical research, this paper explores the attitudes of bystanders toward bullying through a questionnaire survey of 886 students, ranging from elementary school to senior high school. The results shed light on the factors that infl uence actions of students as bystanders in school bullying.
