Abstract

Mobbning sker oftast inför en publik bestående av jämnåriga kamrater, så kallade ”åskådare”. Forskning visar att en effektiv metod för att minska förekomsten av mobbning kan vara att få fler åskådare att hjälpa dem som utsätts. Skolors förebyggande arbete kan dra nytta av detta genom att använda åtgärder som ökar sannolikheten att åskådarna på olika sätt tar ställning för dem som utsätts. Två sådana åtgärder som kan ha stor betydelse är (1) att stärka elevernas tilltro till sin förmåga att försvara dem som blir utsatta, (2) att motverka elevers tendenser att fjärma sig från sin moraliska kompass.
