Summary

With the present project, we will a evaluate a new, motivational interviewing (MI) intervention for increasing bystander behaviors to prevent sexual violence. In the intervention, motivational interviewing will be used to build each participant's unique motivation for engaging in bystander intervention behaviors. To assess the efficacy of the intervention, we will utilize the Bystanders in Sexual Assault Virtual Environments (B-SAVE), a virtual reality measure of bystander behaviors, along with self-report measures examining relevant bystander behaviors and attitudes. We will also examine key moderators of intervention efficacy to provide valuable knowledge (e.g., whom the intervention is most effective for) for further tailoring of the intervention.

Conditions

  • Sexual Assault

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Motivate-The-Bystander (MTB)

MTB is a motivational interviewing intervention designed to increase bystander intervention behaviors. During MTB, participants will discuss their knowledge and experiences with bystander intervention. Participants will then create a plan to increase their bystander intervention behaviors in the future. The interviewer will utilize a variety of motivational interviewing techniques to help guide the conversation towards change (e.g., asking questions in an open-ended manner, reflecting participants' personal values).
