The problem to be addressed in the proposed investigation is the high rates of sexual violence on college campuses. Typically very brief psychoeducational interventions have been administered to groups of men and women, often in a mixed-sex format. Despite the inherent problems with conducting mixed-sex and brief interventions, most efforts on college campuses have utilized this format. The purpose of the proposed project is to investigate a comprehensive sexual assault prevention program for men and women, utilizing theoretically-derived interventions administered in a single-sex format. Participants will be 1,200 college students (600 men and 600 women) living in dormitories on the campus of a mid-sized university. Dorms will be randomly assigned to either the intervention dorm or the waiting-list control dorm. Interventions for men will involve a program !based on a social norms model of change and the women's intervention includes the teaching of self-defense and risk reduction strategies. It is hypothesized that the intervention group men will evidence positive attitude changes as they relate to the acceptance of sexual aggression, decreases in bystander behavior, a clearer understanding of consent, more prosocial behavioral intentions, and decreases in rates of sexual perpetration over a seven-month follow-up period compared to the waiting-list control group. For the women, it is hypothesized that they will evidence greater assertiveness in responding to threatening situations, a better understanding of risky situations, greater use of protective behaviors, increases in self-efficacy, and experience lower rates of sexual victimization over a seven-month follow-up period compared to the control group women. Analyses will be conducted using Analyses of Variance and Regression techniques. If proven effective, the program can easily be disseminated to other universities throughout the country.

拟议调查要解决的问题是性暴力发生率很高 大学校园。通常会进行非常简短的心理教育干预 由男性和女性组成的群体，通常是男女混合的形式。尽管存在固有的问题 进行男女混合和简短的干预，大学校园的大多数努力都利用了这一点 格式。拟议项目的目的是调查全面的性侵犯事件 针对男性和女性的预防计划，利用理论上得出的干预措施 单一性别格式。参与者将是居住在 1,200 名大学生（600 名男性和 600 名女性） 一所中等规模大学校园内的宿舍。宿舍将被随机分配到 干预宿舍或等候名单控制宿舍。针对男性的干预措施将涉及一项计划 ！基于变革的社会规范模型，妇女的干预包括教授 自卫和降低风险策略。假设干预组的男性会 证据表明积极态度发生变化，因为它们与接受性侵犯有关， 旁观者行为减少，对同意的理解更加清晰，行为更加亲社会 意图，以及七个月随访期间性犯罪率的下降 与等待名单对照组相比。对于女性来说，假设她们会证明 更自信地应对威胁情况，更好地了解风险 情况下，更多地使用保护行为，自我效能感提高，并且体验更低 与对照组相比，七个月随访期间的性受害率 女性。将使用方差分析和回归技术进行分析。如果 经证明有效，该计划可以轻松传播到全球其他大学 国家。
