Fraternities, Athletic Teams, and Rape: Importance of Identification With a Risky Group

HUMPHREY, STEPHEN E., KAHN, ARNOLD S.·2000·Journal of Interpersonal Violence

Abstract

This study examined the relationship between sexual assault and membership in high-risk fraternities and athletic teams. Although past research has identified fraternities and athletic teams as high-risk groups for sexual assault, the findings have been inconclusive. Based on student perceptions, we separated fraternities and athletic teams into high-risk and low-risk groups. A survey of 182 male students, including those who were members of three fraternities and five athletic teams as well as nonmembers, indicated that the high-risk groups scored significantly higher than the low-risk groups on measures of sexual aggression, hostility toward women, and male peer support endorsing sexual aggression. These findings showed that some fraternity or athletic team members are more likely to commit sexual assault than males in the general student population, but this is not true for all such groups. The results help explain inconsistencies reported by previous researchers.

  • The review found that when variables such as masculine culture and peer norms as well as high-and low-risk perceived environments were controlled, members often were not differentiated from nonmembers on sexual aggression measures.

    “When variables such as masculine culture and peer norms (Adams-Curtis & Forbes, 2004) as well as high-and low-risk perceived environments (Humphrey & Kahn, 2000) were controlled, members often were not differentiated from nonmembers on sexual aggression measures.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
