We demonstrated statistically significant differences between the role of bystander and students who were not bullied for experiencing overall loneliness (t(519)=2.34; p=0.02; d=0.19) and for experiencing social loneliness (t(513)=2.381; p=0.02; d=0.19). In the case of emotional loneliness, we showed no statistically significant difference between the role of bystander compared to non-bullied students (t(534)=1.922; p=0.055; d=0.155). The results are described in Table 5.
