Unsolicited sexual behaviors that constitute sexual violence appear to be commonplace in nightlife settings in many countries and bystander intervention might be a way to eliminate them. However, few researchers have investigated the barriers and facilitators that affect Australian bystanders’ likelihood to help, and these should be considered in the planning of bystander intervention programs. Using a grounded theory approach, we interviewed fourteen men and women about their perceptions of factors that might influence bystander behavior in Australian nightlife settings. The categories identified suggest that it is difficult for nightlife patrons to notice and identify sexual violence occurring around them. Further, nightlife patrons respect other patrons’ right to engage in sexual behavior and will not intervene unless the recipient has been harmed by the behavior. Patrons are, also, much more likely to help when the recipient is a friend or a woman. Traditional bystander intervention programs on their own might not sufficiently address these barriers. Programs will also need to address patrons’ perceptions of sexual violence and the prevailing social and gender norms in nightlife settings regarding sexual behavior.

“我不是蝙蝠侠”和其他影响旁观者干预澳大利亚夜生活环境中性暴力的因素

构成性暴力的不请自来的性行为在许多国家的夜生活环境中似乎很常见，旁观者干预可能是消除它们的一种方式。然而，很少有研究人员调查了影响澳大利亚旁观者提供帮助的可能性的障碍和促进因素，在规划旁观者干预计划时应考虑这些因素。使用扎根理论方法，我们采访了 14 名男性和女性，了解他们对可能影响澳大利亚夜生活环境中旁观者行为的因素的看法。所确定的类别表明，夜生活顾客很难注意到和识别他们周围发生的性暴力。更远，夜生活顾客尊重其他顾客从事性行为的权利，除非接受者受到该行为的伤害，否则他们不会干预。当接受者是朋友或女性时，顾客也更有可能提供帮助。传统的旁观者干预计划本身可能不足以解决这些障碍。项目还需要解决顾客对性暴力的看法以及夜生活环境中关于性行为的普遍社会和性别规范。
