Abstract

Participants ( n = 520) in a study of two on-campus peer-led sexual assault prevention programs focused on bystander intervention and risk reduction were assessed. This study focused on myth reduction, as well as self-defense self-efficacy. Demographics allowed for within-group comparisons along gender and race. Among men who attended Bro Code, Black men had significantly lower sexual assault myth adherence on many rape myths than the control group, not true of white men. Those women who attended Girls Night Out (GNO) had significantly lower sexual assault myth adherence than the control group. While greater reductions in myth adherence were seen in white women than among Black women, Black women had significantly lower overall sexual assault myth adherence (in both control and sample). As a side note, we found that women who attended GNO had lower general intimate partner violence myth acceptance in addition to lower sexual assault myth acceptance, with some variation on individual myths. Finally, those women who attended self-defense training were significantly more likely to endorse self-defense self-efficacy. Results were then explored through the lens of cultural, gender, intersectional, and community-based contexts. Future research needs and implications are discussed.

性侵犯预防计划中的同伴指导小组:性别和种族中的神话坚持与自卫效力
我们对两项由校内同伴主导的性侵犯预防计划的参与者(n = 520)进行了评估,这两项计划的重点是旁观者干预和降低风险。这项研究的重点是减少误解以及自卫自我效能感。从人口统计学角度对性别和种族进行了组内比较。在参加 "兄弟代码 "活动的男性中,黑人男性在许多强奸迷思方面的性侵犯迷思坚持率明显低于对照组,而白人男性则不然。参加 "女孩之夜"(GNO)的女性对性侵犯迷思的坚持程度明显低于对照组。与黑人女性相比,白人女性对性侵犯迷思的依从性降低得更多,但黑人女性对性侵犯迷思的总体依从性(在对照组和样本组中)明显更低。另外,我们还发现,参加 GNO 的女性除了对性侵犯迷思的接受度较低外,对一般亲密伴侣暴力迷思的接受度也较低,但对个别迷思的接受度会有一些差异。最后,参加过自我防卫培训的女性更倾向于认可自我防卫的自我效能感。随后,我们从文化、性别、交叉和社区背景等角度对研究结果进行了探讨。讨论了未来的研究需求和影响。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Applied Social Science publishes research articles, essays, research reports, teaching notes, and book reviews on a wide range of topics of interest to the social science practitioner. Specifically, we encourage submission of manuscripts that, in a concrete way, apply social science or critically reflect on the application of social science. Authors must address how they either improved a social condition or propose to do so, based on social science research.
