Studying sexual coercion in a lab: Adaptation and validation of the French version of the “date rape analogue task” - 27/04/18
Summary |
Introduction |
For obvious reasons, a situation of sexual coercion can never be directly studied. In order to approach as closely as possible such a situation, different proxies have been developed (written vignette, audiotape, videotape and confederates). Nevertheless, only written vignettes are available for French-speaking researchers interested in studying situations of sexual coercion.
Aim |
The aim of this research is thus to introduce and to validate the French version of an audiotape commonly used in research, the “date rape analogue task”.
Method |
As part of a research about the effects of alcohol and sexual arousal in sexual coercion, 153 participants were recruited from the general population.
Results |
Results support the construct validity of the French version. While the operationalization of a situation of sexual coercion remains a major challenge, this is the first validated audiotape available in French. This experimental stimulus is particularly relevant for studying the perceptual, emotional, cognitive and contextual determinants underlying decision-making relative to the use of coercive strategies, as they may be experienced from individuals’ standpoints.
Conclusion |
New research is all the more important considering that for a prevention program to be fully effective, processes and mechanisms that explain sexual coercion in situ should be taken into account.
