ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, The University of Toledo
Between the steady prevalence rate of sexual violence on college campuses (Tjaden & Thoennes, 2006; Black et al., 2011), the micro and macro levels of impact of sexual violence (Obama & Biden, 2014), and increased attention on universities' (White House Council on Women and Girls & Office of the Vice President, 2014) prevention of sexual violence on campus is making greater progress. Principles of bystander intervention identify the first steps to behavioral change is clearing obstacles of knowledge (Aronowitz et al., 2012; Burn, 2009). Rape myths were identified as a perpetuating force in our rape culture to support the continuation of sexual violence (Ryan, 2011; Weiss, 2009). The purpose of the current study is to investigate the use of sexual violence education on rape myths via an allied masculinity and bystander intervention. This investigation found RMA was reduced as measured by the Updated IRMA-SF Scale after participation in the "Men of UT" program. Further, three of the four subscales demonstrated significant reduction of RMA as measured by the Update IRMA-SF Scale.
