Abstract

Bystander intervention is a method of sexual violence prevention aimed at reducing the serious and pervasive issue of sexual assault on college campuses. The current study utilises the reasoned action approach (RAA) to examine potential differences in bystander intervention engagement between college students with exposure or experience related to sexual assault to students with no such history. Students (n=290) from two mid-sized universities completed a survey examining the RAA constructs (instrumental and experiential attitudes, injunctive and descriptive norms, capacity and autonomy), their sexual assault knowledge, and anticipated regret in reference to bystander intervention. Results showed that participants with exposure or experience related to sexual assault had significantly higher behavioural intentions (p=.018; d=.31), instrumental attitudes (p<.001; d=.55), injunctive norms (p=.026; d=.29), capacity (p=.002; d=.40), autonomy (p=.022; d=.28), anticipated regret (p<.001; d=.56), and sexual assault knowledge (p=.018; d=.31). The RAA constructs also explained a significant amount of the variance of intentions for both groups (with exposure/experience adjust R2 =.501; without exposure/experience adjust R2 =.660). The RAA constructs and anticipated regret appear to be important predictors to consider when planning bystander intervention programmes aimed at reducing sexual assault on college campuses.

性侵犯史是否会影响旁观者干预的参与度？

旁观者干预是一种性暴力预防方法，旨在减少大学校园中严重而普遍的性侵犯问题。本研究利用合理行动方法（RAA）来研究有性侵害相关经历或经验的大学生与没有此类经历的大学生在旁观者干预参与方面的潜在差异。来自两所中等规模大学的学生（n=290）完成了一项调查，调查内容包括 RAA 构建（工具性和经验性态度、强制和描述性规范、能力和自主性）、他们的性侵犯知识，以及对旁观者干预的预期遗憾。结果显示，有过性侵犯相关接触或经历的参与者的行为意向（p=.018；d=.31）、工具性态度（p<.001；d=.55）、强制规范（p=.026；d=.29）、能力（p=.002；d=.40）、自主性（p=.022；d=.28）、预期后悔（p<.001；d=.56）和性侵犯知识（p=.018；d=.31）均显著较高。RAA 结构也解释了两组受试者意向的大量变异（有接触/经验调整 R2 =.501；无接触/经验调整 R2 =.660）。在规划旨在减少大学校园性侵犯的旁观者干预计划时，RAA 结构和预期后悔似乎是需要考虑的重要预测因素。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
