Literature Review
Language

force VS rape
change in responses from men
Permissive Instructions
normalizing language = disinhibition between rape and consent cues

Arousal to force, violence, and nonconsent did not equal intent to act
Increased difficulty in differentiating between rape and consent cues
Situation
Presence of Alcohol
Alcohol- 1/2 of the 25% of sexual assaults against women

Barbaree, Marshall, Yates, and Lightfoot (1983) effect of alcohol on a males physical arousal to rape and consent cues
In this respect, the intoxicated non-offenders were behaving like rapists we
have tested.
Excusability of Perpetrator
Heavily drinking
Substantial relationship with the victim
Victim Blaming
past criminal records/ poor reputation

Homosexuality
BJWS
Emotion
Societal Pressures
Men taught to suppress their emotion
Not to seek help
Stereotypes
independent, emotionally in control, tough
Language phrases: Men dont cry and Be a man
Men believe expression of emotion is abnormal
Long-term Negative effects
Men deal with emotion in negative ways:

-substance abuse, partner abuse, or other sexually aggressive behaviors
Men suffer from undiagnosed and untreated mental issues
unhealthy hiding of emotions/ misdirection or negative emotions males having
more issues discerning between rape and consent
Methods
Methods
Population
college age males

advertise for volunteers and/or work in conjunction with a department
on campus
seek 10-15 participants
non-probability and not random
Research Design
Informed Consent
sensitive nature of the topic
voluntary participation and confidentiality
Methods
Research Design
Interview Setup/Process
Office Style
Audio Record to be Transcribed
Blind interviewer (probing questions but no background on the study itself)
Verbatim requirement for vignettes and questions
Randomized question order to avoid leading
Why this method?

Determine if most men are aware of the factors that affect their behavior
Vignette establishes factors and questions determine if the men notice them
Detailed responses from willing participants
Methods
Research Design
Reviewing the Responses: Did the participant...
Mention the key factors established by the vignette

More focus on the victim or perpetrator
Opinion on the factors brought up and its effects
Unexpected factors brought up by the participants
Methods: Vignette & Question Example

Vignette 1:
Bob has been trying to make some gains in the gym. After a good work out, hes feeling confident and
flirts with an attractive woman at the gym, but she rudely rejects him and mocks his performance. Bob feels
slighted but recovers quickly and decides to go out with friends that night to cheer up. He meets another
gorgeous girl and chats her up, but she also rejects him. Feeling frustrated, Bob decides to go home. Later in
the week, Bob has had a rough time and is irritable and temperamental. He runs into Kris late at night at one
of his usual stops. To try and bring his mood back, he talks with her a bit and things are going well, but she
turns him down when he asks for her number. Bob is pissed and snaps at her. When she fights back, he forces
her to somewhere private and makes her have sex with him.
Initial Question: From your perspective, what factors affected the outcome of the situation in this scenario?
Methods: Vignette & Question Example

Probing Questions: (if not answered in the above response)
What factors affected the behavior of (Bob)?
What factors affected the behavior of (Kris)?
What could have prevented the outcome of the scenario?
(DO NOT mention these factors if they are NOT brought up unassisted by the PARTICIPANT)
(if answer mentions one of the following, ask the following questions)
Alcohol, influence of a peer, language (i.e. he/she said X so I think.), relationship
(he/she is dating him/her, they are together, etc), emotion (anger, jealousy, sadness,
loneliness, desperation, etc), or any factor that the participant did not explain in detail.
X = factor from the list above
If X was not involved, how do you think the outcome would have been affected?
Why do you think that?
How much do you think the presence of X affected the outcome?
Why do you think that?
Limitations
quality of responses v. quantity of responses

lack generalizability across population
interpretation of the responses varied
Finding volunteers and gathering participants
interrater reliability issues
tested and reliable surveys
