Bullying is a group phenomenon, and bystanders play an important role in either facilitating or inhibiting bullying. However, knowledge is still lacking regarding factors, especially contextual ones, which contribute to positive bystander behaviors. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the associations between school connectedness and willingness to intervene within the context of anti-bullying climate, using a three-year, four-wave longitudinal design (a half-year interval between Time 1 and Time 2, and one-year intervals between subsequent waves). Data were collected from 4718 adolescents (Mage = 11.22, SD = 0.45 at Time 1; 41% female, 44.6% male; 26.3% Latina/o, 20.6% Black, 19.1% White) across 36 middle schools in the United States. After controlling background variables, intervention effect, and previous victimization, the findings showed that, at the between-person level, both contextual factors (i.e., anti-bullying climate and school connectedness) were positively related to students' willingness to intervene in bullying; in addition, school connectedness was related to willingness to intervene bidirectionally at the within-person level. Gender was not a moderator of reciprocal relations. Overall, this study highlights the role of contextual factors in empowering bystanders and promoting positive bystander behaviors, which provides guidance for bullying prevention and interventions. The whole school needs to work collaboratively in creating and sustaining a safe, caring, and supportive school environment, which may have a great benefit in empowering bystanders to reduce bullying and facilitating positive development in the long term.

Previous studies indicates that helping behaviors (prosocial behavior, which benefits others, and social support, which benefits oneself) are closely associated with adolescents' self-development. However, it is still unclear what the mutual relations and potential mechanisms are between prosocial behavior, social support, and core self-evaluation. A total of 1214 Chinese adolescents were surveyed three times, with a six-month interval between each survey (Mage = 15.46, SD = 0.71; 39.3% girls). Using several Random Intercept Cross-Lagged Models (RI-CLPMs), this study examined the relationships among these variables. The results showed reciprocal relations between prosocial behavior and core self-evaluation, between social support and core self-evaluation, and between prosocial behavior and social support. Additionally, this study identified two mediation mechanisms and serial self-enhancement mechanisms. Specifically, prosocial behavior impacted adolescents' core self-evaluation via social support, core self-evaluation also influenced prosocial behavior through social support. Prosocial behavior and core self-evaluation could achieve self-enhancement via social support, and prosocial behavior could also be improved via core self-evaluation. These findings reveal that prosocial behavior, social support, and adolescents' core self-evaluation can influence each other over time, emphasizing the mediating mechanism of social support between prosocial behavior and adolescents' core self-evaluation.
