This unique cross sectional exploratory study utilized PRQ (Participant Role Questionnaire) – a peer reported measure to understand the characteristics and composition of four participant roles (assistants, reinforcers, outsiders, and defenders) Indian adolescent students play as bystanders in School bullying. The study was set in Mysore City of India and screened a total of 265 students of Class 6th and 7th from five schools selected through convenient sampling based on permission from school authorities as the study was carried offline mode during post Covid-19. This study features as one of few studies to probe the distribution and patterns of roles bystanders play in Indian settings. The results indicated highest percentage of Bystanders were Outsiders (47.7%), followed by Reinforcers (20.3%) and Defenders (17.6%) while 14.4% acted as Assistant’s when witnessing school bullying.
