Comment étudier la coercition sexuelle en laboratoire ? Adaptation et validation de la version française de la « date rape anologue task »

Conclusion De nouvelles recherches apparaissent alors d’autant plus importantes qu’un programme de prévention, pour être efficace, doit également pouvoir prendre en compte les processus et mécanismes susceptibles d’expliquer la coercition sexuelle in situ. Introduction For obvious reasons, a situation of sexual coercion can never be directly studied. In order to approach as closely as possible such a situation, different proxies have been developed (written vignette, audiotape, videotape and confederates). Nevertheless, only written vignettes are available for French-speaking researchers interested in studying situations of sexual coercion. Aim The aim of this research is thus to introduce and to validate the French version of an audiotape commonly used in research, the “date rape analogue task”. Method As part of a research about the effects of alcohol and sexual arousal in sexual coercion, 153 participants were recruited from the general population. Results Results support the construct validity of the French version. While the operationalization of a situation of sexual coercion remains a major challenge, this is the first validated audiotape available in French. This experimental stimulus is particularly relevant for studying the perceptual, emotional, cognitive and contextual determinants underlying decision-making relative to the use of coercive strategies, as they may be experienced from individuals’ standpoints. Conclusion New research is all the ...
