DESCRIPTION:Although bystander intervention can mitigate the negative effec
 ts of cyberbullying\, few bystanders ever attempt to intervene. This talk 
 discusses a study where we explored the effects of interface design on bys
 tander intervention using a simulated custom-made social media platform. P
 articipants took part in a three-day\, in-situ experiment\, in which they 
 were exposed to several cyberbullying incidents. Depending on the experime
 ntal condition\, they received different information about the audience si
 ze and viewing notifications intended to increase a sense of personal resp
 onsibility in bystanders. Results indicated that bystanders were more like
 ly to intervene indirectly than directly\, and information about the audie
 nce size and viewership increased the likelihood of flagging cyberbullying
  posts through serial mediation of public surveillance\, accountability\, 
 and personal responsibility. This study has implications for understanding
  bystander effect in cyberbullying\, and how to develop design solutions t
 o encourage bystander intervention in social media.\n\n \n\nDominic DiFran
 zo is a Post-Doctoral Associate in the Social Media Lab at Cornell Univers
 ity where he works on new design interventions for cyberbullying and explo
 res the effects of robotics on team collaboration. His research involves c
 ollaborating with colleagues across the social sciences and humanities to 
 translate the tools and methods from data science\, e-science and informat
 ics to address their research needs and purposes. This includes working wi
 th a wide array of research groups and projects including large-scale soci
 al network analysis\, experimental ethnography\, open government data\, an
 d web design.  He holds a PhD in Computer Science from the Rensselaer Poly
 technic Institute and was a member of the Tetherless World Constellation.
