作者:

Highlights:

• We establish an experimental design to test cyber-bystander behavior.

• Noticing cyberbullying is a predictor of cyber-bystander intervention.

• Various online distractions do not appear to affect cyber-bystander intervention.

• Cyberbystanders intervene indirectly more often than directly in cyberbullying.

• Cyberbystanders choose to intervene directly more often with the cyberbully.
