Abstract

The current study examined whether bystander behaviours in class were associated with being perpetrators of ethnic victimization and whether they moderated the association between disengagement from morality and perpetrating ethnic-based victimization. The sample included 1065 adolescents residing in Sweden (Mage = 13.12, SD=.42; 55% males) from the first wave of a three-year longitudinal study. Students completed self-report measures. The results showed that adolescents with high levels of moral disengagement had greater likelihood of engagement in ethnic victimization. At the classroom level, lower levels of defending intentions and higher levels of reinforcing behaviours were related to higher likelihood of engagement in ethnic victimization. None of the cross-level interactions between moral disengagement and classroom-level bystander behaviours were statistically significant. Together, these findings suggest that intervention programmes designed to reduce bias-based hostile behaviours in schools may focus on promoting defending behaviours in class. However, the findings also highlight that targeting social context (or at least bystanders in class) might not be sufficient by itself to intervene with morally disengaged adolescents’ involvement in ethnic victimization. Intervention efforts may also benefit from including specific components targeting moral disengagement mechanisms.
理解道德脱离与种族受害之间的关系:课堂上旁观者的角色
目前的研究调查了课堂上的旁观者行为是否与种族伤害的肇事者有关,以及他们是否调节了脱离道德与基于种族的伤害之间的联系。样本包括居住在瑞典的1065名青少年(Mage = 13.12, SD= 0.42;55%男性),这是一项为期三年的纵向研究的第一波结果。学生们完成了自我报告测试。结果表明,道德脱离程度高的青少年更有可能参与种族伤害。在课堂层面,较低水平的防卫意图和较高水平的强化行为与较高的种族受害可能性相关。道德脱离与课堂旁观者行为之间的跨水平相互作用均无统计学意义。总之,这些发现表明,旨在减少学校中基于偏见的敌对行为的干预方案可能侧重于促进课堂上的防御行为。然而,研究结果也强调,针对社会环境(或至少是课堂上的旁观者)本身可能不足以干预道德脱离的青少年参与种族伤害。干预工作也可能受益于包括针对道德脱离机制的具体组成部分。
