A nationwide survey of all members of American Psychological Association's Division 2: The Society for the Teaching of Psychology (response rate = 33%; N = 703) indicated that respondents generally acknowledged the importance of incorporating diversity topics in their classes. Respondents who rated incorporating diversity topics as more important reported that they allowed more time in their classes to discuss diversity, were more likely to have taught a course on a diversity issue, employed a more interactive teaching style, and were at institutions that included a diversity course as part of the general education requirements. Respondents identified barriers to teaching diversity, potential facilitating factors, and successful strategies and resources for incorporating diversity issues.
Date and acquaintance rape is a pervasive problem on college campuses. This study assessed the influence of both situational factors and individual differences on college men's perceptions of acquaintance and date rape scenarios. Onset of refusal and duration of relationship factors were found to have influenced men's perceptions of victim and perpetrator accountability as well as their likelihood to label a situation rape. In addition, differences were found in perceptions of men who self-reported engaging in sexually aggressive behaviors and men who did not self-report engaging in sexually aggressive behaviors. Interpretation of findings considered both token resistance and male entitlement explanations.
