Project description

The study assesses behavioral determinants of positive bystander behavior (defending, reporting, comforting) among adolescents who witness cyberbullying. An intervention (=serious game) is subsequently designed using the Intervention Mapping Protocol to increase positive bystander behavior. This intervention will finally be evaluated on its effectiveness in changing behavior and its determinants.
