本研究的目的是利用混合方法的方法，以更好地了解共同发生的犯罪者的战术和妇女的抵抗策略，在性侵犯和妇女的反思，这些经验。女大学生从心理学导论课程中被招募，并完成了强迫选择回答和开放式调查问题，以获得课程学分。大学女生对一个开放式问题的书面回答的内容分析结果表明，女性的抵抗策略通常反映了犯罪者的策略（例如，妇女对施暴者的口头压力作出口头抵抗）。然而，在有些情况下，情况并非如此。此外，一些妇女在答复中对性攻击表示了一定程度的自责，并将这种经历最小化和正常化。这些研究结果表明，减少性侵犯风险的方案需要直接解决受害者的自责问题，并创造一种氛围，使导致性侵犯风险最小化的社会因素得到解决。
The purpose of this study was to utilize a mixed methodological approach to better understand the co-occurrence of perpetrator tactics and women's resistance strategies during a sexual assault and women's reflections on these experiences. College women were recruited from introductory psychology courses and completed both forced-choice response and open-ended survey questions for course credit. Content-analytic results of college women's written responses to an open-ended question suggested that women's resistance strategies generally mirrored the tactics of the perpetrator (e.g., women responded to perpetrator verbal pressure with verbal resistance). However, there were some instances in which this was not the case. Furthermore, a number of women expressed a degree of self-blame for the sexual assault in their responses, as well as minimization and normalization of the experience. These findings suggest that sexual assault risk reduction programs need to directly address victims' self-blame as well as create an atmosphere where societal factors that lead to minimization can be addressed.
