- However, despite their potential to act in such situations and play a preventive role, their willingness to act may be hindered by some barriers.
- In a previous study, Latane and Darley (1970) proposed a situational model of bystander behavior to understand the bystander's engagement to act during situations of GBV.
- To comprehensively understand the barriers, the team collected data on how the barriers affect bystanders' interventions by reviewing existing literature.
