Psychometric Analysis of the Perceptions of Sex Offenders Scale
This study is a psychometric analysis of the Perceptions of Sex Offenders (PSO) scale, a reconceptualization of the Community Attitudes Toward Sex Offender scale. Using a student sample, a confirmatory factor analysis was conducted. The initial three-factor data-model fit was poor. To improve fit, one item was dropped and error terms of several items were allowed to covary, producing acceptable fit indices. Subscales of Sentencing and Management …
Women's Fear and Risk Factors
Using supplementary police reports from 700 intimate partner violence calls, risk factors and victim's condition of being afraid were investigated as predictors of charges indicative of coercive controlling behavior. Police-assessed state of women's fear was a good indication of the presence of several coercive control risk factors. Women's fear and 20 risk factors were related to coercive control-type and lethality-type charges laid. Using multi…
A Comparative Analysis of Attitudes Toward Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Minority People
Attitudes toward sexual and gender minority people is a generative field of study leading to theoretical and practical advances. Adding to this body of literature, we sought to investigate relationships between attitudes toward different sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) minority groups. University student participants (N = 495) were asked to rate 11 targets using a 101-point feeling thermometer scale. The targets included trans, bise…

Do attitude functions and perceiver demographics predict attitudes towards asexuality
Research indicates asexual individuals experience stigma. Addressing this phenomenon, this study examined attitude functions – experiential, social-expressive, ego-defensive, and value-expressive – in the prediction of attitudes towards asexuality. As well, demographic variables – participant gender, religiosity, and sexual orientation – were examined vis-à-vis asexuality attitudes. Herek’s Function of Attitudes Inventory assessed asexual attitud…
Exploring amenability of a restorative justice approach to address sexual offences
Exploring amenability of a restorative justice approach to address sexual offences This study aimed to explore current attitudes regarding the amenability of a restorative justice approach to addressing harms caused by sexual offences. A web-based survey of a university student sample included a specific narrative response question assessing empathetic responses to stepfather-teen sexual abuse scenarios. Many (78 per cent) participants endorsed a…

Satisfaction with previous sexual health education as a predictor of intentions to pursue further sexual health education
This paper investigates the nature of the relationship between satisfaction with high school sexual health education and the pursuit of a post-secondary human sexuality course. In an initial study, first-year university students who received high school sexual health education in Ontario completed a questionnaire which assessed their satisfaction with sexual health education and asked whether students were pursuing or intended to pursue a human s…
Erotophobic or erotophilic
This study is an empirical investigation into some of the determinants of attitudes towards BDSM. The methodology was mixed: a between-subjects’ factor was included along with correlational variables. Additionally, there was a longitudinal element to this methodology. Ninety-four university women read a passage which contained information about BDSM with a manipulation such that identical content was presented either positively or negatively. Ero…
The Use of Pre‐/Posttest and Self‐Assessment Tools in a French Pronunciation Course
This study investigated the relationships between students' self‐assessments and experts' assessments in a university French pronunciation course for nonnative speakers using a pre‐/posttest design. Results indicated that students were relatively accurate when making a global assessment (Time 1) and when judging some specific aspects of their French pronunciation (Time 2), although they tended to overestimate the extent to which their abilities w…
Self-Defense, Sexism, and Etiological Beliefs
While attitudes toward gay and lesbian civil rights issues have generally become more positive, attitudes regarding the rights of gay and lesbian couples to adopt children are relatively more negative. It is proposed that attitudes toward homosexual adoption are rooted in self-protective defense mechanisms, sexism, and beliefs about the etiology of sexual orientation. A sample of Introductory Psychology students was asked to read one of three ado…
Gendered Egos
This study used a correlational design with a sample of university students to clarify the relationships between attitude functions and homonegativity with respect to gender. Classic work on attitude functions posits that attitudes serve psychological needs for the attitude holder. Herek (1986b) adapted this theory to explain attitudes toward homosexuality. Herek (1987) identified four functions: ego-defensive (defense of threats to the self), va…
Impact of a Homonegativity Awareness Workshop on Attitudes Toward Homosexuality
The current study evaluated the effects of a homonegativity awareness workshop on attitudes toward homosexuality and examined individual difference variables associated with attitude change. Participants included 71 female and 43 male students (approximate mean age = 23). Compared to a control group of introductory psychology students, participants were less homonegative and erotophobic (F(1, 359) = 62.47 and 15.92, ps < .001) after the workshop.…
Voyeurism
To determine whether “normal” people would engage in voyeurism, a sample of university students was asked to report whether they would watch an attractive person undressing or two attractive people having sex in hypothetical situations. Chance of being caught was manipulated (i.e., 0,10, or 25%). Participants reported a willingness to watch an attractive person undress if they would not be caught. Fewer participants (more males than females) repo…
