This research reports the findings of an evaluation of a peer-facilitated, bystander sexual violence prevention program to determine its effectiveness at changing attitudes and behaviors related to sexual violence with university males who are at low- and high-risk of using sexually coercive behavior. Bystander interventions focus on men and women as bystanders to change social norms in a peer culture that supports abusive behaviors. Few studies have examined the effectiveness of these interventions with high-risk populations, which is the focus of this study. A bystander sexual violence prevention program was presented to 142 fraternity members. A quasi-experimental design utilizing pre-, post-, and follow-up surveys was used to compare the effectiveness of this prevention program with university males who are at low- and high-risk of using sexually coercive behavior in intervention and comparison groups. Participants' risk status was measured prior to the intervention using the Modified-Sexual Experiences Survey. The measures evaluated changes in attitudes (rape myth acceptance and bystander attitudes) and behaviors (sexually coercive behaviors, sexually coercive behavioral intentions, and bystander behaviors). Data analyses included Repeated-Measures Analysis of Covariances. The findings suggest that a bystander sexual violence prevention program has a positive impact on attitudes and behaviors related to sexual violence among fraternity members, however, the program had less impact on high-risk males. The results of this study will expand our ability to design programs that can have an impact on reducing sexual violence on campus by ensuring the programs are having the desired impact on the target audience.
本研究报告了一项针对同伴推动的旁观者性暴力预防计划的评估结果，以确定该计划在改变与性暴力相关的态度和行为方面对有低风险和高风险实施性强制行为的大学男性的有效性。旁观者干预措施将男性和女性作为旁观者，以改变同伴文化中支持虐待行为的社会规范。很少有研究考察这些干预措施对高风险人群的有效性，而这正是本研究的重点。一项旁观者性暴力预防计划被呈现给142名兄弟会成员。采用了一种利用干预前、干预后和随访调查的准实验设计，以比较该预防计划对干预组和对照组中有低风险和高风险实施性强制行为的大学男性的有效性。在干预前使用改良的性经历调查来测量参与者的风险状况。这些测量评估了态度（对强奸谬见的接受程度和旁观者态度）和行为（性强制行为、性强制行为意图和旁观者行为）的变化。数据分析包括重复测量协方差分析。研究结果表明，旁观者性暴力预防计划对兄弟会成员中与性暴力相关的态度和行为有积极影响，然而，该计划对高风险男性的影响较小。本研究的结果将扩展我们设计能够对减少校园性暴力产生影响的计划的能力，确保这些计划对目标受众产生预期的影响。
