  • Pornography Use and Sexual Well-Being

    Open AccessChyng-Feng Sun, Said Jiménez et al.ARTICLESex Roles2026

    Although pornography use has risen globally, research on its psychological and relational correlates remains centered in Western contexts. This exploratory study examines how pornography use relates to sexual beliefs and behaviors among Mexican young adults, expanding prior research into a Latin American context. Utilizing sexual script theory, which highlights the pathways of sexual learning, often highly gendered in nature, we examined whether …

  • Centering the client in PTSD treatments

    A J Bridges, Marley F Fradley et al.ARTICLEAmerican Psychologist2026

    We offer commentary examining conclusions that may be drawn from Rubenstein et al.'s (2024) perspective on the need for exposure-based posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) treatments. Here, we employ our shared expertise in implementing and evaluating exposure-based group therapy to reconsider the following impressions garnered from the referenced article: (a) exposure is not necessary for successful PTSD treatment; (b) clients do not want to tal…

  • The Covid Shift

    Open AccessA J Bridges, Marley F Fradley et al.ARTICLESocial Sciences2025Referências: 2

    Incarcerated women report extremely high rates of lifetime sexual violence victimization. Survivors Healing from Abuse: Recovery through Exposure (SHARE) is an exposure-based group therapy specifically designed for incarcerated women survivors of sexual violence. SHARE has been continuously delivered in a women’s prison for more than 12 years. However, like many prisons during the COVID-19 pandemic, the prison ceased all in-person programming bet…

  • Were you rushing or were you dragging? Perceived support, music-specific stress, and internalizing symptoms in university-level music students

    Open AccessIshan N Vengurlekar, Jake C Steggerda et al.ARTICLEPsychology of Music2024

    Music students often experience high levels of stress largely due to factors including coursework, performances, time management, professional development, and practicing. Stress that music students face is associated with depression and anxiety. Previous research shows that social support is linked to lower stress and internalizing symptoms. However, no studies to date have examined ensemble directors, lesson teachers, or music major peers as sp…

  • The manifestation of health equity tourism in psychological science and research

    Lorraine T Benuto, A J BridgesARTICLEAmerican Psychologist2024Citada por: 2

    Health equity tourism (HET) represents yet another example of how structural racism may manifest in our discipline. While not a new phenomenon, HET was coined recently in the context of medicine and is defined as investigators without the requisite experience or commitment to health equity work "parachuting into the field in response to timely and often temporary increases in public interest and resources" (Lett et al., 2022, p. 2). To determine …

  • Is Sharing One's Personal Story of Victimization Preferred? Incarcerated Women's Perspectives on Group Treatment for Sexual Trauma

    Open AccessMarie Karlsson, Miłosz J Zieliński et al.ARTICLESocial Sciences2024Citada por: 1Referências: 28

    Treatment preferences are an important part of evidence-based practice and have been shown to affect treatment outcomes. In this two-part study, incarcerated women were asked about their preferences for two versions of a trauma-focused group treatment: one that requires sharing their personal memory of sexual victimization (Sharing Required) and one that does not (Sharing Not Required). Study 1 enrolled 88 non-treatment seeking women who evaluate…

  • Pornography Use and Sexual Objectification of Others

    Open AccessA J Bridges, Malachi Willis et al.ARTICLEViolence Against Women2023Citada por: 3Referências: 18

    Researchers have demonstrated associations between use of pornography and sexual objectification of women. We examine whether self-reported preference for degrading pornography moderated the relation between use frequency and sexual objectification of others. Participants were 1,342 heterosexual women and men residing in the United States. In women and men, pornography use frequency was associated with the sexual objectification of others, even a…

  • The Effects of Alcohol Intoxication on Perceptions of Consent and Refusal Indicators in a Fictional Alcohol-Involved Sexual Encounter

    Kristen N Jozkowski, Tiffany L Marcantonio et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Sex Research2023Citada por: 1Referências: 5

    Alcohol intoxication may influence how bystanders interpret other people's consent and refusal cues. We examined the effects of alcohol intoxication on participants' perceptions of characters' consent and refusal indicators in a fictional vignette depicting an alcohol-involved sexual encounter. Young adults ( n = 119, 52% women) participated in an alcohol administration experiment examining the influence of acute intoxication on bystander percept…

  • Pornography Use, Gender, and Sexual Objectification

    Open AccessMalachi Willis, A J Bridges et al.ARTICLESexuality & Culture2022Citada por: 1Referências: 20

    Pornography promotes sexual objectification by depicting people as bodies that are used primarily for sexual gratification. Across various methodologies, previous research has found positive associations between pornography use and sexually objectifying attitudes. However, there remains a need for multinational data collections to assess potential cross-cultural differences. In the present study, we collected data from heterosexual participants i…

  • Bystander Intoxication and Appraisal of Sexual Assault Risk

    Open AccessLindsay S Ham, Lauren E Hurd et al.ARTICLEEmerging Adulthood2021

    Emerging adults are especially vulnerable to experiencing alcohol-related sexual assault. While bystanders play a critical role in preventing sexual assault, little is known about how bystander alcohol intoxication affects the intervention process-particularly in naturalistic settings. We recruited 315 emerging adult bargoers ages 21-29 (46% women; 28% non-college attending; 81% White) from a high-density bar area to provide responses to a sexual…

  • Implementing and Sustaining SHARE

    Open AccessMiłosz J Zieliński, Melissa J Zielinski et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Community…2021Referências: 20

    Although incarcerated women are a highly victimized population, therapy for sexual violence victimization (SVV) sequela is not routinely offered in prison. SHARE is a group therapy for SVV survivors that was successfully implemented and sustained in a women’s correction center. Here, we aimed to identify implementation factors and strategies that led to SHARE’s success and describe incarcerated women’s perspectives on the program. We conducted a …

  • Assessing the Within-Person Variability of Internal and External Sexual Consent

    Open AccessMalachi Willis, Kristen N Jozkowski et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Sex Research2021Citada por: 11Referências: 13

    Sexual consent is often conceptualized as an internal willingness to engage in sexual activity, which can be communicated externally to a sexual partner. Internal sexual consent comprises feelings of physical response, safety/comfort, arousal, agreement/want, and readiness; external sexual consent includes communication cues that may be explicit or implicit and verbal or nonverbal. Most previous research on sexual consent has focused on between-p…

  • Developing Valid and Feasible Measures of Sexual Consent for Experience Sampling Methodology

    Open AccessMalachi Willis, Kristen N Jozkowski et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Sex Research2021Citada por: 7Referências: 7

    Preliminary evidence indicates that people's sexual consent (i.e., their willingness to engage in sexual activity and communication of that willingness) varies across time and context. Study designs that assess sexual consent at multiple time points (e.g., experience sampling methodology [ESM]) are needed to better understand the within-person variability of sexual consent. However, extant validated measures of sexual consent are not appropriate …

  • How Does Timing Affect Trauma Treatment for Women Who Are Incarcerated? An Empirical Analysis

    Open AccessA J Bridges, Danielle E Baker et al.ARTICLECriminal Justice and Behavior2020

    Most women who are incarcerated have experienced sexual violence; difficulties adjusting to prison could interfere with women’s ability to benefit from trauma-focused therapy. Here, we explored whether therapeutic benefits of trauma treatment varied as a function of time since incarceration. Women ( N = 128) participated in an 8-week group treatment for sexual violence victimization while incarcerated in a community corrections center for nonviol…

  • Two Studies Investigating Associations Between Sexual Assault Victimization History and Bystander Appraisals of Risk

    Open AccessA J Bridges, Aubrey R Dueweke et al.ARTICLEViolence Against Women2020Referências: 17

    Across two studies, we examined sexual assault history and bystander appraisals of risk and the moderating roles of danger cue salience (Study 1) and alcohol intoxication (Study 2) in women. Participants (Study 1 = 148, Study 2 = 64) read vignettes ending with cues of nonconsensual sexual activity and an opportunity to intervene. Participants also completed self-report measures of vignette appraisals and history of sexual assault victimization. A…
