<![CDATA[The phenomenon of bullying in elementary schools does not only involve perpetrators and victims, but also bystanders who play a crucial role in either reinforcing or reducing the intensity of bullying. This study aims to describe the profile of bystander bullying among students at SDN Samparwadi 1. The research employed a descriptive quantitative method with data collected through questionnaires and observations. The subjects consisted of 150 students from grades IV to VI. The findings indicate that the majority of students fall into the category of passive bystanders, who tend to merely witness without taking action, while a smaller portion act as defenders who attempt to protect the victims. Factors influencing bystander behavior include fear of becoming a target, peer group norms, and limited understanding of appropriate ways to help victims. These results highlight the need for character education programs and school interventions focusing on strengthening empathy, moral courage, and students’ social skills to minimize bullying.]]>
