The Effects of Sexual Assault Awareness Program on College Students’ Rape Myth Acceptances
Sexual assault is an issue that is not easily discussed but that affects many. It is believed 1 in 6 women in the United States have been victims of sexual assault or attempted sexual assault. Many beliefs about sexual assault are incorrect. These false beliefs are called rape myths. These rape myths contain false beliefs regarding rape, rape victims and rapists. These myths help to create a culture that allows, justifies, and perpetuates rape. This study looks at the effects of a sexual assault awareness program on college students rape myth acceptance scales.

The Effects of Gender on False Memory
Roediger and McDermot (1995) found that individuals who learned lists of words related in meaning to GIRL and MAN, but did not contain those words, falsely recalled GIRL and MAN. Bauste and Ferraro (2004) found no significant effect of gender on false memory using the DRM lists for GIRL and MAN. The present study used a modified MAN list to reflect more stereotypical gender words as compared to the GIRL list. It was expected that there would be an effect of participant gender on false memory using the modified list.
