Explore the ways in which a sample of college women interpret racially/ethnically coded vignettes to understand their perceptions of responsibility and trauma experienced by a hypothetical female sexual assault survivor and her need for social support. Convenience sample of college women ( = 51) attending a large, predominately white university in the Southeastern United States recruited between January and March 2013. Participants were randomly assigned one of three vignettes describing a hypothetical date rape scenario. Vignette scenarios were identical except for discrete statements coded to signify either an African American, Latina, or white female student. Participants responded to open-ended questions that gauged their interpretations of responsibility, trauma, and social support. Qualitative analysis of open-ended responses revealed six overarching themes, including overt victim blaming/shaming, justification of the sexual assault, and perceived need for social support. Findings point to the significance of including race in discussions about and programs that address sexual assault on college campuses to ensure that all women who experience sexual violence receive the support that they need.
探讨一组女大学生如何解读种族/民族编码情景片段，以了解她们对假设的女性性侵犯幸存者的责任和创伤的看法，以及她对社会支持的需求。 2013 年 1 月至 3 月期间，在美国东南部一所大型白人为主的大学招募了方便样本的女大学生（ = 51）。参与者被随机分配到三个描述假设的约会强奸情景的情景片段之一。情景片段完全相同，只是用离散语句编码，以表示非裔美国女性、拉丁裔女性还是白人女性学生。参与者回答了开放式问题，以衡量他们对责任、创伤和社会支持的理解。对开放式回答的定性分析揭示了六个总体主题，包括明显的受害者指责/羞辱、性侵犯的合理化以及感知到的社会支持需求。研究结果表明，在讨论和实施涉及大学校园性侵犯的项目时，将种族纳入其中具有重要意义，以确保所有经历性暴力的女性都能得到她们所需的支持。
