The word “bystander” can evoke images of people idly standing by and doing little or nothing to alter the course of a social event. Bystanders, from this perspective, are merely passive witnesses to the social world of others. Findings obtained in recent years from across a wide range of disciplines show that this image of the passive bystander is incomplete. Bystanders, third parties to a social event involving others, more often than not end up playing active roles in the event and may change the course of it for the better or the worse. Given these new findings there is a real need to bring together basic and applied scientists working on bystander behavior to (i) compare and contrast findings and methods, (ii) develop new research agendas and collaborations, and (iii) devise effective bystander prevention and intervention schemes.
