Engaging male bystanders to reduce sexual aggression: The effects of online training and bystander alcohol intoxication

 描述(由申请者提供)：作为减少性侵犯的一种手段，旁观者培训计划最近在大学校园里激增。虽然旁观者培训计划在减少性侵犯方面显示出希望，并有可能在这项任务中吸引男性作为盟友(Coker等人，2014)，但对这些计划的评估在很大程度上依赖于自己 报告衡量主要结果的方法(即旁观者干预的努力)。还需要更多的研究来了解影响旁观者采取行动的可能性的情景因素。本项目通过调查在线旁观者培训方案和酒精中毒对在实验室环境中观察到的男性实际旁观者行为的独特和交互影响来满足这些需求。根据先前的理论和经验证据，预计参加在线旁观者培训计划将导致旁观者行为增加，以减少实验室模拟期间的性侵犯。此外，关于酒精对认知和注意力过程的近视影响的理论表明，饮酒可能在旁观者行为中发挥关键作用(Steele&Josephs，1990)。预计酒精中毒将导致旁观者行为的减少和质量下降，酒精中毒将缓和在线旁观者干预与旁观者行为之间的关联，从而使干预的效果因酒精中毒而减弱。从这项研究中获得的知识将促进旨在吸引男性作为积极旁观者的方案的发展，通过揭示参与旁观者培训方案和急性酒精的交互影响来减少性侵犯 沉醉于实际的旁观者行为。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Bystander training programs have recently proliferated on college campuses as a means to reduce sexual assault. While bystander training programs show promise in reducing sexual assault and have the potential to engage men as allies in this task (Coker et al., 2014), evaluations of these programs have relied largely on self report methods to measure primary outcomes (i.e., bystander efforts to intervene). Additional research is needed to understand situational factors that influence the likelihood of a bystander taking action. The present project addresses these needs by investigating the unique and interactive effects of an online bystander training program and alcohol intoxication on men's actual bystander behaviors observed in a laboratory setting. Based on prior theoretical and empirical evidence it is expected that participation in an online bystander training program will result in increased bystander behaviors to reduce sexual aggression during a laboratory analogue. Further, theories of alcohol's myopic effects on cognitive and attentional processes suggest that drinking may play a critical role in bystander behaviors (Steele & Josephs, 1990). It is expected that bystander alcohol intoxication will result in fewer and poorer quality bystander behaviors and that alcohol intoxication will moderate associations between the online bystander intervention and bystander behaviors such that the effects of the intervention will be weakened by alcohol intoxication. Knowledge gained from this study will enhance the development of programs aimed at engaging men as active bystanders to reduce sexual assault by shedding light on the interactive effects of participation in a bystander training program and acute alcohol intoxication on actual bystander behaviors.
