This study explores if bystanders to sexual violence are assigned blame when they fail to intervene. During 2017, 31 female and 20 male U.S. college students were asked to read three of six randomly assigned sexual assault vignettes and participate in an interview about their perceptions of bystander inaction. Qualitative analyses reveal that college students do hold bystanders accountable for inaction, but the assignment of blame depends upon the bystander’s knowledge of the perpetrator’s intentions, the degree of similarity between respondents and the bystanders in the vignettes, and the degree to which the bystanders could have behaved differently. Bystanders do face moderate blame for their inaction, this is true in a variety of assault situations, and it suggests bystander training increases perceptions of culpability for non-intervention. This information can help campus administrators improve the efficacy of their bystander education programs.

旁观者干预培训：它是否会增加对不干预的责任感？

这项研究探讨了性暴力的旁观者在未能干预时是否会受到指责。2017 年，美国 31 名女大学生和 20 名男大学生被要求阅读随机分配的六篇性侵犯小插曲中的三篇，并接受采访，了解他们对旁观者不作为的看法。定性分析表明，大学生确实让旁观者对不作为负责，但责任的分配取决于旁观者对肇事者意图的了解、受访者和旁观者在小插曲中的相似程度以及旁观者可能承担的责任表现不同。旁观者确实因其不作为而面临适度的责备，这在各种攻击情况下都是如此，这表明旁观者训练增加了对不干预的罪责的看法。
