ABSTRACT: In this paper, the behaviour of bystanders
in a classroom in which bullying is occurring is analyzed using Game theory. We
focus on bystander’s behaviour and formulate a threshold model. Our analysis
shows that as class sizes become smaller, the probability of bullying being
stopped increases.
