For Prosocial/Care Justifications, positive correlations were found between story 1 and stories 2, 3, and 4 (.3719, .4474, .3187 respectively) at the .01 level of significance. Positive correlations were found between story 2 and stories 3 and 4 (.3754, .2789 respectively) at the .01 level of significance. The highest correlation was found between story 3 and story 4 (.5081) at the . 01 level of significance. See Table 5.

all four stories. Bystander character / physical victimization story 1, victim character / physical victimization story 2 and victim character /relational victimization story 4 showed moderately low (.3478, .4931, .4252 respectively) reliabilities for Aggressive/Retribution Justifications. bystander character / relational victimization showed the lowest (.1559) reliability for Aggressive/Retribution Justifications. Correlations were positive but moderate across all four stories for Aggressive/Retribution Justifications. Story 1 and story 2 showed a moderate correlation (.4227) at the .01 level of significance; whereas, story 1 and stories 3 and 4 showed similar but slightly weaker correlations (.3017, .3015 respectively) at the .01 level of significance. Story 2 showed moderately weak correlations with stories 3 and 4 (.3739, .4223 respectively) at the .01 level of significance. Story 3 and story 4 showed he highest correlation (.4670) at the .01 level of significance. See Table 6. 77
