For decades, social scientists have presumed that if you change people’s attitudes or ideas about sexual violence, then this will lead to a change in behavior. The latest issue of The Evidence digests recent research that suggests otherwise - showing that a different approach is needed for sexual violence prevention programmes.

🔎 Despite the government and individual universities spending millions on sexual violence prevention programmes, rates of sexual violence on US university campuses did not change between 1985 and 2015. In fact, they may have actually increased since 2015. What could explain this? 👉 For decades, social scientists have presumed that if you change people’s attitudes or ideas about sexual violence, then this will lead to a change in behaviour, and therefore a drop in violence. 👉 Many of the interventions analysed in the recent study were successful at countering these rape myths. But a corresponding decrease in violence wasn’t found. ❓ Why? According to Ana Gantman, Assistant Professor of Psychology at Brooklyn College (CUNY): “Psychologists know that there is a space between what we think, what we want, what we believe and what we actually do.” 🗣️ Elise Lopez, Assistant Director of the Relationship Violence Program at the University of Arizona says: “You also have to change people’s self-confidence about engaging in healthy behaviour, give them the social support to do so, and think about the environment that they’re living in.” Read The Evidence by Josephine Lethbridge, sponsored by Sage 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dJgmC8uj
