目前的研究考察了旁观者对潜在的派对强奸场景的反应，这些场景涉及朋友或处于危险中的陌生人。本科生(N=151)想象参加一个派对，看到一个男人带着一个喝醉了的女人(朋友或陌生人)进入卧室。在随机分配条件后，参与者报告了帮助的意图、帮助的障碍、受害者的责备和同理心。不出所料，基于他们共享的社会群体成员身份，旁观者打算向朋友提供更多帮助，而不是向陌生人提供帮助。旁观者还报告说，当潜在受害者是朋友而不是陌生人时，他们有更多的个人责任提供帮助，也更有同情心。观察处于危险中的朋友和陌生人并不会影响观众的抑制或被认为是受害者的指责。与女性相比，男性报告了更多的指责，而对潜在受害者的同理心较少。然而，在旁观者的帮助意图或帮助障碍方面没有性别差异。在多变量分析中，帮助的责任和对潜在受害者的同理心都独一无二地预测了旁观者帮助处于派对强奸风险中的女性的意图。结果表明，促进与高危同龄人的社会认同可能会增加旁观者的干预。
The present research examined bystander responses to potential party rape scenarios involving either a friend or a stranger at risk. Undergraduate students (N = 151) imagined attending a party and seeing a man lead an intoxicated woman (friend or stranger) into a bedroom. After random assignment to conditions, participants reported on intentions to help, barriers to helping, victim blame, and empathic concern. As expected, based on their shared social group membership, bystanders intended to offer more help to friends than to strangers. Bystanders also reported more personal responsibility to help and more empathic concern when the potential victim was a friend rather than stranger. Observing a friend versus stranger at risk did not affect audience inhibition or perceived victim blame. Compared with women, men reported more blame and less empathic concern for potential victims. However, there were no gender differences in bystander intent to help or barriers to helping. In multivariate analyses, both responsibility to help and empathic concern for the potential victim uniquely predicted bystanders' intent to help a woman at risk for party rape. Results suggest that promoting social identification with peers at risk could increase bystander intervention.
