Abstract

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.

强制报告、施暴者和暴力类型以及饮酒对大学生披露性暴力可能性的影响

目前尚不清楚大学中的性暴力强制报告（MR）是否会影响学生对性暴力的报告。在某些情况下（如酗酒、施暴者），MR 可能会阻止学生报告 SV。本研究评估了学生在不同施暴者、暴力和饮酒情况下根据 MR 政策报告 SV 的可能性。女学生在阅读四个描述 SV 的小故事之前，先接受了描述保密或强制报告政策的指导操作。她们对报告每个小故事的可能性进行评分。不同的小故事、不同的条件和不同的饮酒量都存在显著差异。这表明，在某些情况下，MR 会大大降低报告的可能性，而饮酒则会提高报告的可能性。
