Clinicians, researchers, educators, administrators, and policy makers, who represented stakeholders in the substance abuse treatment field, participated in 5 focus groups. Four general areas regarding integration of research and practice were investigated: definition of research, training/education, current integration, and future integration.
Sexual violence prevention programs typically treat participants as roughly interchangeable, with a one-size-fits-all format. Adding to a growing body of research on men's individual differences, this study utilized cluster analysis to group college men (N ϭ 266) according to four pretest rape-related concerns: (a) personal legal concerns regarding accusations of rape, (b) sexual communication concerns, (c) the view that rape laws are unfair to men, and (d) personal concerns that alcohol may result in unintentional rape. Meaningful differences between clusters in rape myth acceptance and self-reported likelihood of raping emerged at pre-and posttest, as well as in amount of pre-to posttest change. Despite showing the greatest amount of change from pre-to posttest, the cluster of men characterized by all four concerns maintained the highest rape myth acceptance and self-reported likelihood of raping scores relative to the other clusters across time. This exploratory study lays the groundwork for future studies to directly evaluate whether measuring and addressing men's rape-related concerns may eventually allow for more targeted and effective sexual violence prevention programs.
Data were collected from files of 129 children who had been administered the WISC-R and whose mothers had completed the Personality Inventory for Children. A prior high correlation between the Somatic Concern scale and WISC-R Third Factor was not replicated, but the cognitive triad of the Personality Inventory for Children correlated -.49 to -.27 with all the WISC-R IQs. Comparing a two-subtest (Arithmetic, Digit Span) Third Factor versus the traditional three-subtest triad produced comparable results, supporting the redefined Third Factor of the WISC-III.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
