abstract="The field of sexual assault prevention is shifting  attention to educational interventions that address the role of men in ending  violence against women. Recent studies document the often-misperceived norms men  hold about other men's endorsement of rape-supportive attitudes and  behaviors. The authors provide further evidence supporting the design of  population-based social norms interventions to prevent sexual assault. Data from  this study suggest that men underestimate the importance that most men and women  place on consent and willingness of most men to intervene against sexual  violence. In addition, men's personal adherence to only consensual activity  and their willingness to act as women's allies are strongly influenced by  their perceptions of other men's and women's norms. These findings  support the proposition that accurate normative data, which counters the  misperception of rape-supportive environments, can be a critical part of  comprehensive campus efforts to catalyze and support men's development as  women's social justice allies in preventing sexual violence against  women.",
