The Dating Game: Evaluation of a sexual assault prevention program
by Brasfield, Hope M., M.S., UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH ALABAMA, 2009, 71 pages; 1465878

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to add to current knowledge regarding the differential effectiveness of sexual assault prevention programs in terms of gender, program format, and program type. The Dating Game, a sexual assault prevention program, was described and evaluated. In the first comparison, females' and males' ratings of a coed version of the Dating Game were compared. Females rated the program significantly more positively than did males. In the second comparison, females' ratings of the coed version of the Dating Game were compared to their ratings of a single gender version of the Dating Game. In general, females preferred the single gender format. In the third comparison, males' ratings of the coed version of the Dating Game were compared to males' ratings of a single gender alternative prevention program. Males reported greater awareness of behaviors that can lead to victimization as a result of the alternative program. Implications for future research are discussed.
