Sexual Violence: Helping Men Become Allies. A Sexual Violence Bystander Intervention Program for Collegiate Males
Leacock, Jamie
ProQuest LLC, Psy.D. Dissertation, Spalding University
Sexual violence in the United States continues to be a growing problem. Collegiate women face some of the highest rates of sexual violence, with statistics estimating one in four women will have this unwanted experience sometime during their college career. With Title IX administrators required to provide sexual violence awareness, more colleges have implemented prevention programs. However, research lacks solid evidence regarding the audience, what factors to address, and the effectiveness in changing behavior. Although sexual violence is a men's issue, few programs are targeted toward decreasing men's proclivity to commit sexual violence. This dissertation reviewed male-audience prevention programs to determine what elements led to rape-tolerant attitude change. After combining programmatic factors deemed effective, a sexual violence prevention program, "Helping Sexual Violence Survivors" was created. This program incorporates sexual violence awareness and education as well as bystander intervention skills in an effort to change men's rape-tolerant attitudes. Feedback from program participants, revisions, and implementation strategies are discussed. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
