Is Jacqueline Goodchilds a real person?
I can tell you that Jacqueline Goodchilds does exist and is a Professor Emerita, Psychology at UCLA. She is affiliated with UCLA's Center for the Study of Women. For more information, check out the Goodchilds info page.
What book is in the picture?
Sexual Violence: Opposing Viewpoints. San Diego: Greenhaven, 2003. 68. Print. Goodchilds is not an author in the book, but by doing a Google Book search it shows the top of the chart. Also interesting is that Fear Us is cited as an author to one of the articles in the book, as seen on WorldCat and Wikipedia (which could change, but I'm just putting it out there).
What about FearUs.Org? Are you affiliated with the study?
The FearUs.org cited in the book as the source of the data no longer exists. I bought this domain recently and instead of putting ads or pictures of cats on it I decided to look into the truthfulness of the image. Here is more info on the original page.
Did a study really take place? Is this "real"?
The data originated from a study "Adolescents' Cues and Signals - Sex and Assault" by R Giarrusso ; P Johnson ; J Goodchilds ; G Zellman. [According to this book all were currently researchers at UCLA.] It was presented at the Western Psychological Association Meeting Symposium, 'Acquaintance Rape and Adolescent Sexuality,' in San Diego, California, April 1979. Click here for more information on the study, including who they interviewed.
However, the data in the picture that has been circulating has been misrepresented. The original study did not ask "Yes" or "No", but asked subjects on a five point scale. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find out specifically what each point was, other then at the two extremes were "Yes" and "No". For more information, see the infograph/chart below.
The book in which I read about the study: Rape and Sexual Assault II, edited by Ann Burgess [Note that WorldCat is sometimes incomplete].

DISCLAIMER - Just to reiterate, I have no connection to the above image or to the Feminists Earning a Reputation. I just bought the domain name and wanted to give people answers.
THANK YOU - To the people that have sent me some informative links. I'm sorting through everything now and trying to figure out the best way to present it. I'll try and individually email everyone back to say thanks, even if it was just a short comment. I didn't know this would be this big.
So that's it. If you have anything to add, please let me know through the contact link above (or emailing me at [email protected] [I just set that up, so I hope it works!]). This was last updated 3/26/13 12:13 PM, PST. As people send me more info I'll try to keep updating. Sorry for the lackluster website, I just wanted to get something up ASAP. In the future it might be cool to make this into some sort of gender positive blog/hub.
