Examines racial differences in intentions to intervene against sexual harassment among college students, suggesting implications for public health strategies.

Key Points

The research aims to investigate racial differences in bystander intervention intentions related to sexual harassment among college students, using the Reasoned Action Approach.
Undergraduate students from two universities completed an online survey assessing constructs related to the Reasoned Action Approach.
Separate linear regression models were used to analyze bystander intervention intentions among white and BIPOC students.
The study included 294 students, predominantly white and female.
Both models explained a significant amount of variance in bystander intervention intentions.
The model for BIPOC students explained more variance (adjusted R2=.405) compared to white students (adjusted R2=.339).
Results suggest racial differences in the willingness to engage in bystander intervention to prevent sexual harassment.
