OBJECTIVE The present study documented the extent to which Native American youth reported opportunities to intervene in situations of sexual assault and harassment, the types of behaviors that youth engaged in when given the opportunity to intervene, and whether youth were engaging in proactive behaviors to change social norms to be intolerant of these forms of aggression. METHOD Data come from a survey of 144 Native American middle and high school youth living on an Indian reservation. RESULTS Analyses revealed that in the past 6 months, 59.1% of participants had opportunity to intervene in a sexual assault and harassment. Opportunity to intervene in sexual assault or harassment was associated with lower feelings of mattering and being older. Among participants who reported bystander opportunity to intervene in sexual assault or harassment, 26.3% reported engaging in positive bystander behavior (e.g., trying to get help or using distraction to help). A closer connection to culture was related to a higher likelihood of engaging in positive bystander action. Roughly half of the participants reported engaging in proactive bystander behavior (e.g., efforts to promote intolerance of these forms of aggression) even in the absence of opportunity. Older youth were more likely to engage in proactive bystander behavior than younger youth. CONCLUSIONS Bystander-focused programs may be an effective tool to prevent sexual harassment and sexual assault among Native American youth, especially those that include culturally relevant content that helps to strength connections to culture and equipping younger youth with skills to engage in proactive bystander behavior.

对印第安保留地青少年的旁观者机会和行为的检查。



目的 本研究记录了美国原住民青年报告在性侵犯和性骚扰情况下干预的机会的程度、青年在有机会干预时所采取的行为类型,以及青年是否采取主动行为来改变社会状况。不容忍这些形式的侵略行为的规范。方法 数据来自对居住在印第安保留地的 144 名美国原住民初中和高中青少年的调查。结果分析显示,在过去6个月中,59.1%的参与者有机会干预性侵犯和性骚扰。干预性侵犯或性骚扰的机会与较低的重要感和年长有关。在报告旁观者有机会干预性侵犯或性骚扰的参与者中,26.3% 的人报告参与了积极的旁观者行为(例如,试图寻求帮助或利用分散注意力来提供帮助)。与文化的联系越紧密,参与积极旁观者行动的可能性就越高。大约一半的参与者报告称,即使在没有机会的情况下,也会采取主动的旁观者行为(例如,努力促进对这些形式的攻击行为的不容忍)。与年轻的年轻人相比,年长的年轻人更有可能采取主动的旁观者行为。结论 以旁观者为中心的项目可能是防止美国原住民青少年性骚扰和性侵犯的有效工具,特别是那些包含文化相关内容的项目,有助于加强与文化的联系,并为年轻的青少年提供参与主动旁观者行为的技能。 (PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA,保留所有权利)。
