It remains unclear if mandatory reporting (MR) of sexual violence (SV) in universities impacts student reports of SV. MR may deter students from disclosing SV under certain circumstances (e.g., alcohol, perpetrator). This study evaluated students' likelihood of reporting SV under MR policy across perpetrators, violence, and alcohol use. Female students received instructional manipulations describing either confidential or mandatory reporting policies before reading four vignettes describing SV. They rated their likelihood of reporting each vignette. Significant differences arose across vignettes, conditions, and alcohol consumption. This indicates MR can significantly decrease reporting likelihood in some cases, while alcohol consumption may increase the likelihood.
目前尚不清楚大学中对性暴力（SV）的强制报告（MR）是否会影响学生对性暴力的报告。在某些情况下（例如，涉及酒精、犯罪者），强制报告可能会阻止学生披露性暴力事件。本研究评估了在强制报告政策下，学生针对不同犯罪者、暴力行为和酒精使用情况报告性暴力的可能性。在阅读四个描述性暴力的 vignette 之前，女学生接受了关于保密或强制报告政策的指导性操作。她们对报告每个 vignette 的可能性进行了评分。不同的 vignette、条件和酒精消费情况出现了显著差异。这表明在某些情况下，强制报告可能会显著降低报告的可能性，而酒精消费可能会增加这种可能性。
