使用情景的研究人员经常忽视验证嵌入刺激的感知内容和显著程度,特别是与预期的参与者,即使这些意义是研究不可或缺的。例如,性和攻击性刺激受到文化的严重影响,因此参与者可能无法感知研究人员在性攻击情景中的意图。通过四项研究,作者描述了情景验证的方法,以制作两个评估与酒精有关的性侵犯的视频。这两个视频都是相同的,只是在一个视频中出现了对年轻的异性恋男性来说极其突出的反力暗示。焦点小组和问卷证实了这些男性的看法,即:(A)女性对性感兴趣,(B)性线索明显,(C)反暴力线索明显(仅限反攻击性视频),以及(E)这些反暴力线索抑制了对强迫性行为的接受。结果表明,在评估社会易变变量时,仔细选择和验证内容的价值,并为开发具有文化有效性的情景提供了有用的模板。
Researchers using scenarios often neglect to validate perceived content and salience of embedded stimuli specifically with intended participants, even when such meaning is integral to the study. For example, sex and aggression stimuli are heavily influenced by culture, so participants may not perceive what researchers intended in sexual aggression scenarios. Using four studies, the authors describe the method of scenario validation to produce two videos assessing alcohol-related sexual aggression. Both videos are identical except for the presence in one video of antiforce cues that are extremely salient to the young heterosexual men. Focus groups and questionnaires validate these men's perceptions that (a) the woman was sexually interested, (b) the sexual cues were salient, (c) the antiforce cues were salient (antiaggression video only), and (e) these antiforce cues inhibited acceptance of forced sex. Results show the value of carefully selecting and validating content when assessing socially volatile variables and provide a useful template for developing culturally valid scenarios.
