A comparison of male and female college students' experiences of sexual coercion

Looks at the results of a study which offered a comparison between the experiences of men and women, as it relates to sexual coercion. Description of the study; How comparisons of prevalence rates could obscure important differences in the phenomenology of sexually coercive incidents; Definition of sexual coercion; Discussion on the phenomenology of sexually coercive experiences

Rape prevention with college males: The roles of rape myth acceptance, victim empathy, and outcome expectancies

This study investigated the immediate impact of a video-based prevention program developed to decrease undergraduate men's potential to commit rape. Three video segments (rape myth acceptance, victim empathy, and outcome expectancies) were developed through expert consultation and focus groups. Evidence for the construct validity of each component was evaluated by examining change scores in a pilot study of 101 male undergraduates on measures of rape myth acceptance, victim empathy, and outcome expectancies.

Sexual coercion and mental health symptoms among heterosexual men: the pressure to say yes

The present study investigated the prevalence of female-to-male intimate partner violence (IPV) and mental health symptoms among 370 male university students. Participants completed surveys that measured three types of IPV victimization (sexual, physical, and psychological) and four types of mental health symptoms (anxiety, depression, hostility, and somatic symptoms). Correlations revealed strong positive associations between sexual, physical, and psychological IPV among male victims.

An acquaintance rape prevention program: Effects on attitudes toward women, rape-related attitudes, and perceptions of rape scenarios

Investigated the effects of an acquaintance-rape prevention program on college students' attitudes toward rape and attitudes toward women, perceptions of acquaintance-rape scenarios, and rape empathy. 152 Ss were led to believe that they were participating in 2 separate experiments in order to decrease demand characteristics. Results indicate that intervention group men and women became more empathic toward the victim than the control group, postintervention. Within the intervention group, men changed more in their attitudes toward women postintervention than did women.

Sexual assault programming on college campuses: using social psychological belief and behavior change principles to improve outcomes

Sexual assault programming is often delivered without a theoretical framework and does not typically utilize applicable research that could help to induce change among participants. Such interventions may target male and/or female students, although the focus of this review is on men. It is important to examine these programs in light of current theoretical knowledge and empirical findings from the social psychological attitudinal and behavioral change literatures. To this end, current programming efforts and their limitations are briefly reviewed.

Psychopathology and sexual aggression in nonincarcerated men

47 men who self-reported rape or attempted rape were compared to 56 sexually active men who denied perpetrating sexual aggression on psychopathology. The Ss were surveyed using the Sexual Experiences Survey (M. Koss and C. Gidycz, 1985), and completed structured clinical interviews. Sexually aggressive men reported a pattern of symptoms indicating impulse control problems; they had more conduct-disordered behavior in childhood, and abused alcohol and illicit drugs more than nonviolent men.

Does alcohol contribute to the confluence model of sexual assault perpetration?

The confluence model of sexual assault provides a useful theoretical integration of factors that influence men's likelihood of committing sexual assault (Malamuth, Sockloskie, Koss, Tanaka, 1991). This study replicates and extends the confluence model by including alcohol at multiple levels. Participants' usual alcohol consumption and alcohol consumption in sexual situations were included as predictor variables.

Men as allies: the efficacy of a high school rape prevention intervention.

Summary: 212 high school students from the Midwest participated in this study.  The students were enrolled in health classes and the majority (73%) were in the tenth grade.  Both the control and the experimental group had similar participant gender ratios of 60% male and 40% female.  The intervention was conducted with coed groups and consisted of three 45-minute sessions.  The programming addressed social norms and was based on six activities that were drawn from the Working Together manual.  The programming incorporated respected male figures in the school (e.g.
