Abstract Details

1994, Doctor of Philosophy, Case Western Reserve University, Applied Mathematics.
Sexual coercion, including date rape, is an issue of major concern on college campuses. Many colleges have instituted date rape programming on their campuses. While these programs seek to increase awareness of the issue of date rape and other forms of sexual coercion, their preventive efforts have been lacking in theoretical depth and attention to developmental design. This study involved methodological development of a preventive intervention to decrease college women's vulnerability to sexual coercion. Based on the foundation of prevention theory, it was guided by a competence-of-women perspective. The research involved a process of design development, implementation, formal measurement, field testing and refinement. It followed a social science developmental research model established to convert an "idea" into a "product." In this study, the resulting product was a sixteen-hour preventive intervention program which aims to decrease college women's vulnerability to sexual coercion. The results of the study indicated that developmental research has utility in the fields of prevention and social work. The program went through several revisions subsequent to the feedback mechanisms built into the design. The study also demonstrate d the applicability of a theoretical construct of competence-of-women to prevention of sexual coercion vulnerability.
