Brighton, United Kingdom, recently hosted the 18th European Congress of Psychology, a vibrant gathering of renowned psychologists, researchers, and scholars from across the globe. Among the distinguished participants, our colleague from IRTIS, Dr. Shanu Shukla, co-authored with Dr. Hana Machackova, presented a paper titled: "Helping or Not Helping: Understanding the Role of Individual, Social, and Contextual Factors Among Bystanders in Cyberbullying," shed light on the complexities of bystander behavior in cyberbullying incidents.
In her insightful research, the authors delved deep into the complex dynamics of cyberbullying, explicitly focusing on the role of bystanders. While much research has centered around the victims and perpetrators of cyberbullying, bystanders' actions can significantly influence the outcome of these distressing situations. Dr. Shukla and Dr. Machackova sought to uncover the factors that impact bystanders' responses and decisions to intervene or remain passive when witnessing cyberbullying incidents.
The 18th European Congress of Psychology proved to be a hub of intellectual exchange, innovation, and camaraderie. Scholars and professionals from diverse backgrounds convened to share their research findings, engage in stimulating discussions, and explore the latest advancements in psychology. With a plethora of presentations, workshops, and networking opportunities, the conference fostered a vibrant atmosphere conducive to learning and collaboration.
The next 19th European Conference of Psychology is scheduled in Paphos, Cyprus, from July 1-4, 2025.
