The phenomenon of peer bullying is a significant problem in terms of planning school-based prevention programmes in this area. In most theoretical and empirical studies, researchers describe bullying, focusing on the behaviour of bullies and victims, overlooking the key role of the bystander.

The article presents selected typologies of bystanders to bullying, emphasising the important role of bystanders who support the victim. In the paper reference was made to the author’s own research, the purpose of which was to gain a better insight into the determinants of taking intervention measures in bullying situations. The research was conducted using in-depth interviews conducted with 23 students aged 20–41. The determinants of intervening or abstaining from intervening are described.

Research shows that teachers’ perceptions of peer bullying (PB) are an important predictor of their intervention. Therefore, the aims of the study were to find out i) how serious pre-service teachers and teachers find different types of PB, ii) how empathic to the victims and willing to intervene they are, iii) what predicts interventions in both groups and iv) what forms of intervention pre-service teachers and teachers would use regarding victims and perpetrators. Results suggest that teachers perceive all types of PB as more severe than pre-service teachers and are more willing to intervene earlier, but pre-service teachers show more empathy for the victims. The strongest predictor of intervention in both groups is beliefs about the severity of bullying, but their forms of intervention differ significantly. Implications of the study findings are also discussed.

W artykule podjęto tematykę dręczenia rówieśniczego, uwzględniając doświadczenia świadków. Zjawisko dręczenia rówieśniczego jest istotnym problemem z perspektywy planowania szkolnej profilaktyki w tym zakresie. W większości studiów teoretycznych i empirycznych autorzy opisują bullying, koncentrując się na zachowaniach sprawców i ofiar, pomijając kluczową rolę świadków dręczenia. Autorka tego artykułu podkreśla ważną rolę osób postronnych, które poprzez własną zdecydowaną interwencję mogą znacząco przyczynić się do obrony ofiar, a tym samym do ograniczenia incydentów dręczenia. W artykule zaprezentowano wybrane typologie świadków bullyingu, podkreślając znaczenie roli świadków wspierających ofiary. Odwołano się do badań własnych, których celem było poznanie uwarunkowań interwencji w sytuacji dręczenia rówieśniczego. Badania przeprowadzono przy użyciu wywiadu pogłębionego, przeprowadzonego z 23 studentami w przedziale wiekowym 20–41 lat. Opisano uwarunkowania skłaniające świadków do podjęcia lub zaniechania interwencji.
