Overview

Exploratory analysis shows education reduces rape myth endorsement in informal settings, indicating challenges in changing attitudes.

Key Points

  • Education effectively reduced rape myth endorsement among participants, yet evaluations of non-stereotypical assaults remained negative.
  • Participants who completed modules on rape and consent myths showed limited changes, without improved evaluations of sexual assault victims.
  • This analysis utilized various educational modules to explore their influence on responses to sexual assault disclosures among peers and family.
  • Findings suggest that addressing rape myths alone may not sufficiently alter informal responses to sexual assault disclosures.
