Getting inside the house: The effectiveness of a rape prevention program for college fraternity men

To investigate the effectiveness of a socialization-focused rape prevention program. designed specifically for college fraternity men, 90 greek male participants (mean age 19.6; 95.6% Caucasian) were randomly assigned to I of 3 groups: 2 treatment groups and I control group. Results suggest that a socialization approach to rape education was as effective as a more traditional prevention program with regard to attitudes and knowledge. Participants in the rape prevention programs, for example, held fewer rape myths and had a clearer understanding of consent than the control group. Although attitudes rebounded to previous levels at the 6-week follow-up, a relationship between gender-role conflict and rape myth acceptance was discovered.
