Alcohol's effects on bystander responses to potential sexual assault situations are understudied. In this mixed-methods study, we examined quality of bystander responses in intoxicated versus sober people. Participants were 121 young adults (ages 21-29, 50% female) randomly assigned to consume alcoholic beverages or soda water. After drinking, participants listened to a sexual assault vignette and completed a semistructured interview assessing how they would respond if they had witnessed the situation. Nearly all participants reported they would directly intervene if faced with the situation. Intoxicated participants and men were significantly less likely to use high-quality bystander intervention strategies than were sober participants and women. Results suggest that alcohol intoxication may negatively impact the likelihood that bystander intervention efforts will be helpful.

酒精对旁观者预防性侵犯干预策略的影响。

酒精对旁观者对潜在性侵犯情况的反应的影响尚未得到充分研究。在这项混合方法研究中，我们检查了醉酒者与清醒者的旁观者反应质量。参与者是 121 名年轻人（21-29 岁，50% 女性），被随机分配饮用酒精饮料或苏打水。饮酒后，参与者听取了性侵犯的小插曲，并完成了半结构化访谈，评估如果他们目睹了这种情况，他们会如何反应。几乎所有参与者都表示，如果遇到这种情况，他们会直接干预。与清醒的参与者和女性相比，醉酒的参与者和男性使用高质量旁观者干预策略的可能性明显较小。结果表明，酒精中毒可能会对旁观者干预措施发挥作用的可能性产生负面影响。
