This study examined the process by which a web-based sexual violence (SV) prevention program (i.e., RealConsent) prevents SV perpetration and increases bystander behaviors. Data from 743 college men who participated in a randomized controlled trial were analyzed. Simple and multiple-mediation models were estimated, using several theoretical constructs to assess the mechanisms through which RealConsent produced significant effects on SV perpetration and prosocial bystander or intervening behaviors. The results indicated that knowledge of effective consent for sex, hostility toward women, date rape attitudes, and hyper-gender male ideology significantly mediated the effects of RealConsent on SV perpetration in the multiple-mediator model. Furthermore, intentions to intervene significantly mediated the effects of RealConsent on prosocial bystander behaviors in the multiple-mediator model. The results show that the RealConsent program works to prevent SV perpetration and prosocial bystander behaviors via several theoretically proposed mediators central to the development and content of the program. The results also provide strong evidence that SV and bystander education for college men may benefit from including an explicit focus on decreasing negative norms related to women (e.g., hostility, date rape attitudes, hyper-gender ideology) and through increasing college men's knowledge of consent and intentions to intervene.
本研究考察了一个基于网络的性暴力（SV）预防计划（即 RealConsent）预防 SV 犯罪和增加旁观者行为的过程。对 743 名参与随机对照试验的大学生进行了数据分析。使用几个理论构建来评估 RealConsent 对 SV 犯罪和亲社会旁观者或干预行为产生显著影响的机制，估计了简单和多重中介模型。结果表明，关于有效同意性行为、对女性的敌意、约会强奸态度和过度男性意识形态的知识在多重中介模型中显著中介了 RealConsent 对 SV 犯罪的影响。此外，干预意图在多重中介模型中显著中介了 RealConsent 对亲社会旁观者行为的影响。研究结果表明，RealConsent 计划通过几个与计划的发展和内容相关的理论上提出的中介来预防 SV 犯罪和亲社会旁观者行为。研究结果还提供了强有力的证据，表明针对大学生的 SV 和旁观者教育可能受益于明确关注减少与女性有关的负面规范（例如，敌意、约会强奸态度、过度男性意识形态），并通过增加大学生对同意和干预意图的了解。
