Understanding US College Women’s Self-Reported Experiences Resisting Sexual Assault
Sexual assault (SA) is a significant global public health problem. In the United States, one in five college women experiences SA, and alcohol and cannabis are known risk factors. Given the prevalence and impact of SA, this study aims to understand college women’s experiences of risk perception and resistance tactics, particularly when substances are involved. College women (n = 332) completed an online survey. They were asked if they had ever be…
Dyadic Effects of Relationship Dissatisfaction and Impulsivity on Physical and Psychological Intimate Partner Violence Perpetration
Numerous mechanisms for intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration have been identified at the individual and relationship levels, wherein evidence suggests that relationship dissatisfaction and impulsivity (i.e., negative and positive urgency) predict IPV perpetration. Despite this, few studies have dyadically examined the interactive effects of these two risk factors on IPV perpetration. The present study examined main and interactive effects…
Sleep-Related Concerns Mediate the Association Between Cyber-Sexual Victimization and Psychological Distress Among Diverse University Students
Experiences of cyber-sexual violence, that is, sexually aggressive behaviors committed through digital interfaces, are associated with posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) and suicidality. Several variables, including sleep, also contribute to PTSS and suicidality risk. This cross-sectional study expands what is already known about cyber-sexual violence and psychological distress by investigating associations between cyber-sexual victimization, s…
How Does Alcohol Use Relate to Sexual Consent? A Scoping Review
People consume alcohol prior to both consensual and nonconsensual sexual activity. To better inform education and prevention efforts targeting the coalescing of alcohol, sexual consent, and sexual violence, we conducted a scoping review of 57 articles published between 1999 and 2024 that examined the relationship between alcohol use and sexual consent. Most articles were qualitative and investigated how alcohol related to perceptions of consent, …
Acceptability of RealConsent
Acceptability of a sexual violence (SV) risk reduction program called RealConsent designed for first-year female college students was conducted as part of a larger, randomized controlled trial. RealConsent uses web-based and mobile technology to deliver four 45-minute theoretically and empirically derived modules designed to increase knowledge, affect attitudes and normative beliefs, increase bystander and other protective behaviors, and reduce a…
Effects of alcohol problem discrepancy on relationship adjustment
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) has well‐known negative effects on romantic relationship functioning, including the occurrence of intimate partner violence (IPV). A separate literature focused on community couples indicates that relationship functioning is more likely to suffer when partners report greater discrepancies in alcohol consumption. It is important to expand this literature to couples with AUD and to examine the role of impactful AUD domain…
Alcohol’s Effects on the Bystander Decision-Making Model
Large Language Models in an App
Comprehensive sexual health education for young people often remains largely inaccessible, leaving gaps in knowledge about sexual consent, refusals, sexual assault, and sexting. Snapchat's My AI, tailored to its users, offers accessible and potentially stigma-free responses to sexual health queries, showing promise in addressing these gaps. This study aimed to evaluate My AI's effectiveness in handling questions related to sexual communication, a…
Emotion Regulation Difficulties Moderate the Association Between Typical Drinking and Sexual Assault Victimization Among Sexual and Gender Minority University Students
Sexual and gender minority (SGM) students report higher alcohol consumption, emotion regulation difficulties, and sexual assault victimization severity than cisgender, heterosexual individuals. A sample of 754 undergraduate students completed an online survey assessing alcohol use, emotion regulation, and sexual victimization. Regression analyses indicated that, among SGM students with higher emotion regulation difficulties, typical weekly drinki…
Hey ChatGPT, Let’s Talk About Sexual Consent
Access to sexual health education, such as education on sexual consent, is limited in the US. Artificial intelligence (AI), such as ChatGPT, provides a potential opportunity to increase access to sexual consent information and education. However, what ChatGPT knows about sexual consent and if this aligns with the current evidence-based literature on sexual consent is unclear. The goal of this research commentary was to explore what ChatGPT knows …
The “white knight” effect
Prior research indicates that adherence to the male role norm suggesting men should seek to attain social status (i.e., status) is positively related to prosocial bystander attitudes and behavior; however, moderators of this effect have yet to be examined. One construct that may influence this effect is benevolent sexism. The present study sought to fill this gap in the literature. Participants were 148 men 21-30 years of age from the metro Atlan…
Usability Testing of a Mobile Health Intervention to Address Acute Care Needs after Sexual Assault
Sexual assault is associated with a range of poor mental health outcomes. To enhance access to care by this population, technology-based mental health interventions have been implemented in the emergency room; however, more accessible and easily disseminated interventions are needed. The aim of the present study was to test the usability of a mobile health intervention targeting alcohol and drug misuse, suicide prevention, posttraumatic stress sy…
Drink, don’t think
Alcohol consumption is a well-established risk factor for aggressive behavior. However, evidence suggests that alcohol's effect on aggression varies as a function of individual- and situational-based instigating and inhibiting factors. Endorsement of traditional masculine gender norms has been consistently identified as an instigating factor for alcohol-related aggression. Likewise, individuals who habitually engage in thought suppression (i.e., …
Sexual Assault Survivor Reports of Missed Bystander Opportunities
Examination of situations in which bystanders missed intervention opportunities to prevent sexual assault can advance our understanding of how bystanders can prevent sexual assault. The present study utilized an incident-specific approach based on reports from 427 female sexual assault victims (ages 18-25 years) recruited via Mechanical Turk. Results indicate that bystanders had an opportunity to intervene before 23% of sexual assaults, alcohol u…
Demonstrating Masculinity” Via Intimate Partner Aggression
Dormant masculinity
Acute alcohol intoxication was examined as a moderator of the association between men's adherence to traditional gender norms and aggression towards a gay male. Participants were 164 heterosexual drinking men between the ages of 21-30. Participants completed a battery of questionnaires that included a measure of adherence to male role norms (i.e., status, toughness, antifemininity), were randomly assigned to consume an alcohol or no-alcohol contr…
