With the popularity of information networks, the online world has gradually become an extension of the natural world, which brings convenience to people's lives while also bringing some adverse effects (Miller, 2020).The phenomenon of cyberbullying is one of the more apparent problems (Nixon, 2014; Hindujia & Patchin, 2013). However, research has found that bystanders, as essential players in cyberbullying incidents, can have a direct and even decisive impact on cyberbullying (Qi, 2020; Allison & Kimberley, 2016; Bussey & Kay, 2016).However, most researchers have found that bystanders are primarily in a state of non-interference or remain silent when faced with cyberbullying (Kong, 2018; Patchin, 2006).Therefore, this study hopes to use a systematic literature review (Prisma) approach to analyze the 32 pieces of literature screened. Summarize the current bystander behavior in cyberbullying, the causes of the resulting behavior. By summarizing the grounds, the reasons for the formation of bystander non-interference behaviors are refined.And according to the cause to propose out guidance measures. It helps researchers to understand the frontiers of relevant research and to conduct path exploration to mitigate the harm of cyberbullying through proper intervention behaviors of bystanders.
