The participants ( n = 553, 65.2% female, 76% freshmen, M age = 18.7\u00a0years), responded to a sequence of questions pertaining to witnessing and intervening in specific potentially dangerous situations, emotional reactions to their action or inaction, and preparedness. Bystander participants also provided narrative responses describing their behavior. We used joint display analyses to integrate, analyze, and interpret the qualitative and quantitative data. Of the 553 participants, 38% witnessed \u201ca man talking to a woman and she looked uncomfortable,\u201d 27% witnessed \u201csomeone taking an intoxicated person up to their room,\u201d and 39% witnessed \u201csomeone grabbing or pushing their boyfriend or girlfriend\u201d; of those who witnessed, the percentage of those who intervened was 42%, 25%, and 19%, respectively. Bystander behavior involved one of 5Ds: distract, direct, delegate, distance, diffuse, or a combination. Although most bystanders did not get involved, most (94.6%) reported that they felt prepared to intervene. For those who intervened, most reported feeling positive about their action; however, most who did not intervene reported feeling negative about their inaction. Implications for college bystanders and bystander education programs are discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/08862605221092071","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,10]],"date-time":"2022-05-10T17:16:23Z","timestamp":1652202983000},"page":"1517-1539","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["\u201cI Pulled Them Apart and Told Them to Stop\u201d: A Mixed-Methods Examination of Bystander Behavior, Preparedness, and Emotional Reaction"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"38","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1930-1685","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Deborah M.","family":"Casper","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Development and Family Studies, University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, AL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2102-5111","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tricia","family":"Witte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Development and Family Studies, University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, AL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emily","family":"Gibson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Development and Family Studies, University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, AL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emily","family":"McCulley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Development and Family Studies, University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, AL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-08862605221092071","unstructured":"Ala.
