“…However, this may not be the case for adolescents. A recent study by Rowe, Jouriles, & McDonald (2015) demonstrated the efficacy of a 90 minute assertive resistance program in reducing sexual victimization for adolescent girls. This is a rather remarkable finding given the inconsistent results of other brief programs.…”

“…Additionally, it is likely that other types of childhood abuse and maltreatment are also related to BRTT, as the interconnection among forms of abuse has been well-documented (Hamby & Grych, 2013). It is recommended that future research examine multiple violence outcomes in assessing the efficacy of the program ((Rowe et al, 2015). Research on risk factors exists in abundance compared to research focused on how these issues apply to prevention and risk reduction through mechanisms like BRTT (Hamby, McDonald & Grynch, 2014).…”

Despite extensive research on sexual assault, study of the processes and behaviors central to responding to sexual assault threats is limited. The purpose of this paper is to provide a critical, narrative review of the literature on behavioral response to threat (BRTT) highlighting BRTT BR TT as mechanism of self-defense interventions and process of sexual victimization. Empirical findings regarding measurement styles, effectiveness of different styles of BRTT, and facilitators and barriers of BRTT, are reviewed. Most individuals engage in some type of active behavior when faced with a sexual assault threat; yet, the range of the behaviors listed can be broad and is not well captured by current measurement approaches. Assertive BRTT is the most effective response style, but few, if any, feminist self-defense interventions studies measure change in his behavior as a result of intervention. Recommendations for clinical practice include developing comprehensive measurement of BRTT and adapting interventions to decrease barriers to assertive BRTTs. Recommendations for future research include undertaking with qualitative and quantitative efforts to better characterize the range, stability, and predictors of all possible BRTT styles. Behavioral Response to Threat (BRTT) as a Key Behavior 3 Highlights: 1. Integrates the available research on behavioral response to threat. 2. Behavioral responses can range broadly but are rarely assessed comprehensively. 3. Effective behavioral response is affected by a number of psychological factors. 4. Behavioral response is one of the core mechanisms of self-defense interventions. 5. Future sexual assault risk reduction programs should assess behavioral response.

“…These include: legal programs (arrest, protection order, court intervention, prosecution, batterer intervention program); medical interventions; services (housing, e.g., shelters); training (violence prevention, assertiveness); resistance training and skill enhancement and practice (Rowe, Jouriles, & McDonald, 2015); and multicomponent models. Some of these interventions, those most relevant to elder abuse prevention are discussed below.…”

The goal of this review is to discuss the state-of-the-science in elder abuse prevention. Findings from evidence-based programs to reduce elder abuse are discussed, drawing from findings and insights from evidence-based programs for child maltreatment and domestic/ intimate partner violence. A conceptual measurement model for the study of elder abuse is presented, and linked to possible measures of risk factors and outcomes. Advances in neuroscience in child maltreatment and novel measurement strategies for outcome assessment are presented.

“…In other group studies conducted using methods other than choice theory, Lin, Shiah, Chang, Lai, Wong and Choi (2004) and Abed, El-Amrosy and Atia (2015) reported that assertiveness skills, self-esteem and interpersonal relation skills improved among nursing students, Nota and Soren (2003) reported that assertiveness and decision-making skills improved among Italian university students, and Kipper (2006) suggested that role-playing method increased assertiveness skill, Rowe, Jouriles and McDonald (2015) reported lower sexual victimization among girls as a result of assertiveness training program.…”

This study was undertaken to determine the effects of assertiveness skills development psychoeducation program structured according to choice theory and reality therapy on psychological counselor candidates' assertiveness levels. In order to determine the effectiveness of the program, a research model with pre-test-post-test control group time series pattern was used. The study sample consisted of 66 students. According to the results of the inventory applied, 33 students were divided into two groups, including test and control groups. There were 13 students in the test group and 20 students in the control group. In this study, Rathus Assertiveness Inventory (RAI), was used as the data collection instrument. A 10-session assertiveness skills development psycho-education program was applied to the test group. No procedure was applied to the control group. Post-test was applied during the week following the last session of the test group. To monitor the effectiveness of the program, a monitoring study was conducted by re-applying the respective inventory to the test and control groups three months after the post-test application. The results show that assertiveness skills development psycho-education program structured according to choice theory and reality therapy was effective on increasing psychological counselor candidates' assertiveness skill.
