Note. Significant findings are bolded. The effect size (EF) is the comparison of change score of treatment condition and the change score in control condition. The p value is to compare the change score in treatment condition with that in control condition. The response categories for proactive bystander behavior were converted as follows: 0=0 times, 1.5=1–2 times, 4=3–5 times, 7.5=6–9 times and 10=10 or more times.
