Not the whole story, but a little info & website changes

1) A page created on the study itself is here. It includes info on how the study was conducted.

2) I re-arranged the main page because it was getting messy and a lot of information was put on individual pages, as seen along the top.

3) The book in which I read about the study: Rape and Sexual Assault II, edited by Ann Burgess [Note that WorldCat is sometimes incomplete]. I apologize for not listing it sooner, but I wanted to make sure I was able to have access to the book. The closest library that had it I could not check it out, since I was not a student, and to make copies I needed a student ID card. Argh. The next library that had it was another hour away.  A little selfish, I know.

I will be doing another post more about the part of the study I read about.  If you want to link the image, the url is:

So, I think my brain exploded a little.  I just wanted to let anyone who cared know that I was able to obtain a paper in which parts of the study were analyzed and discussed. The data presented in the image does stem from the study conducted by Goodchilds, Zellman, Johnson & Giarrusso.

However, the data is badly represented in the image that has been circulating and, just to let you know, this came from a rather large study that looked into other aspects of sexual socialization of adolescents. It wasn't just a "poll" of circle "yes" or "no" handed out on a piece of paper. 

Also wanted to say thanks to everyone who has given me thanks and words of encouragement. I've received a lot of info on current studies also! I'll put links up eventually to ones I feel are reliable/credible.

*Not the number of interviewees, but the amount of information they attempted to gather.

Interesting Info about the study from I Never Called It Rape

3/23/2013

Basically there were three things of interest I included on the main page:

1) In addition to Goodchilds, the rest of the researchers mentioned (Gail Zellman, Paula D. Johnson, and Roseann Giarrusso ) were all researchers at UCLA at the time. 

2) The study did not use the term "rape." 

3) The study, in addition to the survey data presented in the table, also included giving the teenagers "27 vignettes of dating experiences and asked them to rate..." [sorry, page cuts off].

Updated Survey & Statistics?

3/22/2013

4 Comments

 
I've had A LOT of emails that ask if there has been a similar survey or study done recently, or comment about how interesting it would be if the study was done now (and maybe with a slightly older group).

If you know of any study please let me know.

Is the data from a book, paper, article or presentation?

Many websites show that Adolescents' Cues and Signals - Sex and Assault was a
"Paper presented as a contribution to the Western Psychological Association Meeting Symposium, 'Acquaintance Rape and Adolescent Sexuality,' in San Diego, California, April 1979." [NCJRS, Eric]

I'll also try and go through some of the books listed in the Google Book search to see if the table was reproduced there.

Opinion: Some academics will often present their data at a conference of their peers in order to get feedback before they send their article out to journals to be peer reviewed (basically to work out all the kinks). So, it is quite possible that this research was presented at a conference and later published as a paper, or to have had part of the data appear across many of their publications.

Thanks to: Will, Greg, Morgan, HJ, and anyone else I missed.  If first name is too revealing, message me and I'll remove it.

Added Source of Chart

3/22/2013

Many people (including someone who claims to be the original poster, thanks!) have emailed in stating the source of the chart is from the book Sexual Violence: Opposing Viewpoints (2003) edited by Helen Cothran.  You can see part of the chart by searching for Goodchilds on Google Books.

Goodchilds herself is not shown as an author, according to the table of contents as seen on WorldCat and Wikipedia. More interesting is the fact "Fear Us" is shown to be an author of the chapter "Pornography Causes Sexual Violence."  According to the Wayback Machine, there is a page on Pornography on the original FearUs.org .
