Abstract
V originále
Bystanders of online aggression play an important role in events that include cyberbullying and other types of aggressive behavior conducted through Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Online aggression often takes place in the virtual presence of bystanders or intends to harm the victim publicly with degrading posts or pictures. The reactions of cyberbystanders — who can support the victim, reinforce the aggressive acts, or remain passive — influence the interaction between the perpetrators and victim. Prior research on the bystanders of online aggression has provided some explanations concerning the nature of their responses. However, many questions still remain unanswered or require more empirical evidence. Responding to the need to gain more insight, this special issue addresses the different aspects related to the bystanders of online aggression. It consists of six articles and was edited by guest editors Hana Machackova (Masaryk University, Brno, Czechia), Jan Pfetsch (Technische Universität, Berlin, Germany), and Georges Steffgen (University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg).
