Although the bystander intervention model provides a useful account of how people help others, no previous study has applied it to a global emergency. This research aims to develop a scale for measuring global bystander intervention and investigate its potential antecedents in the Syrian refugee emergency. In Study 1 (N = 80) and Study 2 (N = 205), a 12‐item scale was established through a substantive‐validity assessment and a confirmatory factor analysis, respectively. Study 3 (N = 601) explored the potential antecedents of the global bystander intervention, employing British and German samples. Results show that the global bystander intervention model worked for both samples, but there were significant between‐group differences in terms of the extent to which they notice the emergency, know how to help, show political support, and donate money. Overall, the visibility of the global emergency aftermaths within the context has been deduced as a meaningful driver for between‐group differences. This research provides the first empirical evidence on global bystander intervention and it offers timely suggestions to promote support for refugees or other victims of global disasters, especially among those who are distant to the disaster zone.

衡量全球旁观者的干预并探索其帮助难民的先例

尽管旁观者干预模型提供了有关人们如何帮助他人的有用说明，但是以前的研究都没有将其应用于全球紧急情况。这项研究旨在制定一个衡量全球旁观者干预的规模，并调查其在叙利亚难民紧急情况中的潜在先例。在研究1（N  = 80）和研究2（N  = 205）中，分别通过实质有效性评估和验证性因素分析建立了12个项目的量表。研究3（N = 601）利用英国和德国的样本，探索了全球旁观者干预的潜在先例。结果表明，全球旁观者干预模型适用于这两个样本，但是就他们注意到紧急情况，知道如何提供帮助，提供政治支持和捐款的程度而言，群体之间存在显着差异。总体而言，已经推断出全球紧急情况余波在上下文中的可见性是导致群体间差异的有意义的驱动力。这项研究提供了有关全球旁观者干预的第一个经验证据，并提供了及时的建议，以促进对难民或其他全球灾难受害者的支持，特别是在那些远离灾区的人中。
