Welcome!
Welcome to the webpage for the Laboratory for the Study and Prevention of Sexual Assault. We have two primary missions for this laboratory.
(1) To conduct empirically-sound psychological research on topics that address the problem of violence in our society. Investigations focus on correlates and predictors of sexual violence and the evaluations of programming efforts to reduce sexual violence. Additional research is focused on women’s experiences in violent relationships and the impact of childhood trauma on adulthood functioning. Please see the full list of our current projects below for more information.
(2) To provide graduate and undergraduate students with high quality training in the use of scientific methodology, particularly in the study of violence.
On this page we have detailed some of our most recent work and current projects. If you have any questions or are interested in more information, please contact us!
Current Projects
Community Programming Initiative (Gidycz)
The goal of the project is to evaluate a systematic effort to reduce sexual assault on a college campus. Specifically, the current project will implement a sexual assault risk reduction program for women and a sexual assault prevention program for men in three co-ed, primarily first-year residence halls. In addition, three residence halls have be randomly chosen as the “wait-list control group”. This is a 3-year prospective research project (N=1200) funded by the Center’s for Disease Control.
Factors Predicting the Type of Tactics Used to Resist Sexual Assault: A Prospective Study (Wilson, Thesis)
The goals of this study are twofold. First, to prospectively examine the factors that predict women’s resistance strategies in sexual assault situations and second, to explore whether any of the variables that significantly predicted sexual assault mediate the relationship between victimization history and the use of non-assertive resistance strategies. The predictors examined in this study were modeled after those used by Turckik, et al. (2007). This study will adding the constructs of optimistic bias, alcohol use, and psychological distress symptoms.
Women’s Coping Reponses to a Sexual Assault: A Longitudinal Study (Edwards & Probst)
The goal of this study is to longitudinally and prospectively explore the predictors of various types of coping strategies that women utilize in the aftermath of a sexual assault. Specifically, multiple time points of data collection are incorporated in order to capture the dynamic interplay between personal characteristics, assault characteristics, post-assault coping mechanisms, and long-term adjustment. Embedded in this study is an investigation of the health correlates of sexual victimization, Erin Tansill’s thesis.
Predictors of Sexual Perpetration in College Men: A Prospective Analysis (Desai and Edwards)
The goal of this study is to prospectively assess the role of historical, personal, relational, and situation factors in men’s engagement in sexually aggressive behavior. In particular, an expanded version Alan Berkowitz’s (1995) model is being longitudinally tested in the current study.
The Prediction of Sexual Risk Behaviors Among College Students Using the Theory of Planned Behavior (Turchik, Dissertation)
The goal of this study is to evaluate the predictive ability of an extended version of the Theory of Planned Behavior in predicting sexual risk behaviors (i.e., sex without a condom, casual sex) over an academic quarter among college students.
Post-Sexual Assault Functioning: A Prospective Examination of the Moderating Effects of Healthy Lifestyle Variables (Murphy, Thesis)
The goal of this study is to examine whether healthy eating, sleeping and exercise habits act as buffers in the relationship between sexual assault and self-esteem, body esteem and trauma symptomatology.
Reliability and Validity of the New Sexual Experiences Survey-Short Form Victimization in a Sample of College Women (Murphy)
The purpose of this study is to assess the two-week test re-test reliability and concurrent validity of the updated Sexual Experiences Survey – Short Form Victimization (Koss et al., 2007).
The Effects of a Psychology of Gender Course on Gender-Related Attitudes, Feminist Identity, Social Activism, and Multicultural Awareness (Edwards)
The purpose of the current study is to assess the effects of a psychology of gender course on attitudes and behaviors using non-gender studies courses as control groups.
