Observers of mistreatment can also develop destructive behaviors directed at the victim.
“However, some studies’ results indicate that observers of mistreatment can also develop destructive behaviors directed at the victim (e.g., Xu et al., 2020; Bai et al., 2022; P. Liu et al., 2022; Hill et al., 2025)”
From Blame or Justification: A Conceptual Model of How Attributions Shape Observers’ Deviant Responses to Abusive Supervision (2026) · cites this paper as Bai et al., 2022
The passages available from our copy are bibliographic material: the title mentions abusive supervisors and peer mistreatment, and the keywords list peer harassment and ostracism (Abstract and bibliographic entry; no page given). Searches for observers or bystanders mistreating the victim returned no passage stating that finding, so the title and keywords alone cannot verify the claim. (LLM, conf=0.72)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe deontic justice perspective is insufficient as a theoretical explanation of observer aggression, particularly because it fails to explain antisocial behaviors directed at the victim.
“That is, while the deontic justice approach explains observers’ aggression toward agents who are perceived as distorting justice, it fails to explain the antisocial behaviors directed at the victim.”
From Blame or Justification: A Conceptual Model of How Attributions Shape Observers’ Deviant Responses to Abusive Supervision (2026) · cites this paper as Bai et al., 2022
The supplied Abstract and bibliographic passages identify peer mistreatment and social learning theory but do not discuss deontic justice or its limits. Searches for deontic justice, observer aggression, and antisocial behavior directed at victims found no passage addressing the claim. (LLM, conf=0.72)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredAn observer's mistreatment of a victim may be intended as a gesture to please their superior.
“Bai et al. (2022) emphasized that an observer’s mistreatment of a victim may be intended as a gesture to please their superior.”
From Blame or Justification: A Conceptual Model of How Attributions Shape Observers’ Deviant Responses to Abusive Supervision (2026) · cites this paper as Bai et al., 2022
The available copy identifies the article and its topics in the title and keyword list, but provides no passage about an observer mistreating a victim to please a superior. Searches for that motive and for related terms such as ingratiation and supervisor approval found no relevant passage. (LLM, conf=0.68)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
