Women assertively resisting sexual aggression have the best chances of avoiding completed rape. Especially with acquaintances, there are significant social and psychological barriers to resistance. Novel vignettes depicting acquaintance rape were designed to enhance self-efficacy, reduce unrealistic optimism, and empower assertive resistance.
The data were collected using a Web-based survey of 449 female college students from multiple universities in August-October 2014.
Between-subjects mixed-methods design. Participants were randomly assigned to read one of four vignettes and complete self-report measures of personal vulnerability, self-efficacy, and beliefs and intention about resistance.
Although vignettes did not impact self-efficacy, one vignette enhanced perceived controllability and decreased unrealistic optimism. Women who read about completed acquaintance rape described intention to use physically assertive responses at double the rate of women reading about successful resistance.
As low-cost, easily disseminated materials, vignettes about sexual assault may enhance campus prevention efforts.
坚决抵制性侵犯的女性最有可能避免被强奸既遂。尤其是在与熟人相处时，存在重大的社会和心理障碍阻碍抵制行为。设计了描绘熟人强奸的新颖短文，以增强自我效能感，减少不切实际的乐观情绪，并鼓励坚定的抵制行为。
2014年8月至10月，通过对多所大学的449名女大学生进行基于网络的调查收集数据。
采用组间混合方法设计。参与者被随机分配阅读四个短文中的一个，并完成关于个人易受伤害性、自我效能感以及抵制的信念和意图的自我报告测量。
虽然短文并未影响自我效能感，但其中一篇短文增强了感知可控性并降低了不切实际的乐观情绪。读到熟人强奸既遂描述的女性表示会采取坚决身体反抗的比例是读到成功抵制描述的女性的两倍。
作为低成本、易于传播的材料，关于性侵犯的短文可能会加强校园预防工作。
