Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To examine university students' attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs related to hazing. METHODS: A random and representative sample of students completed a web-based survey regarding team-building and initiation behaviors (N=736). RESULTS: Thirty-six percent of the respondents participated in hazing. Greeks, males, varsity athletes, leaders, and upperclassmen were more likely to engage in hazing. Students who engaged in hazing were more likely to engage in positive team-building activities. CONCLUSIONS: Hazing is occurring on campus, although not always recognized as such by students. Various factors that would enable someone to stop a hazing situation are addressed.

  • The potential significant limitation in Campo et al.'s research was discrete classification; it was not clear whether students were classified by one status or if there was intersection.

    “A potential significant limitation in the research was discrete classification; it was not clear whether students were classified by one status or if there was intersection (e.g., fraternity and athlete).”

  • The review found a disconnect between formal definitions of hazing activities and what students viewed as hazing versus harmless initiation rites or team-building activities.

    “In general, there was a disconnect between formal definitions of hazing activities and what students viewed as hazing versus harmless initiation rites or team-building activities (e.g., Campo et al., 2005).”

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.
