A Quasiexperimental Study of the Bystander Plus Program for Changing Rape Culture Beliefs

Abstract: Sexual violence is considered a public health crisis and is particularly a problem on college campuses. Efforts for rape prevention at the collegiate level have included decreasing rape myth acceptance and increasing prosocial bystander behaviors. Although bystander models vary in regard to format and target population (e.g., male, female, or combined programs), they hold the same goals and underlying principles: to teach individuals how to effectively, and safely, intervene before, during, and after potential… Show more

“…This may be due to the generally accepted notions held by many of those within our legal system (jurors, judges, and law enforcement officers) and their propensity to perceive victims of sexual assault in negative terms (Schuller et al, 2010). Sexual assault victims tend to be judged on factors that are outside the scope of the determination of consent and these judgements are often influenced by rape myths, which are defined as "prejudicial, stereotyped or false beliefs about rape, rape victims, and rapists" (Burt, 1980;Cadaret, Johnson, & Devencenzi, 2019), that bias the juror (Abbey, Clinton, McAuslan, Zawacki, & Buck, 2002;Abrams, Viki, Masser, & Bohner, 2003;Conroy & Cotter, 2017;Schuller et al, 2010).…”

“…Thus, in addition to teaching about effective bystander strategies within bystander intervention training (e.g., Banyard et al, 2004, 2007; Burn, 2009; Coker et al, 2015; Evans et al, 2019; Krebs et al, 2016), we need to teach people about what behaviors constitute sexual violence, increase their feelings of confidence in their ability to intervene, and increase their willingness to intervene. For instance, adding information explaining the types or forms sexual violence can take and why it is important to end sexual violence for everyone can help promote a cultural change away from sexual violence (e.g., Cadaret et al, 2019). By understanding why sexual violence is harmful to our society, people may be more willing to make a cultural change (Johnson-Quay, 2015).…”
