abstract="<b>Objective:</b> Physical and sexual violence are pervasive concerns on college campuses. Previous research indicates minority populations may be at increased risk for exposure to violence, therefore, international students may represent a vulnerable population. The present study examined differences between international and domestic students regarding the experience of violence and variables related to violence intervention. <b>Participants:</b> Domestic and international colleges students (<i>n</i> = 829) at a Midwestern university in the United States participated in an online survey. <b>Method:</b> Questions assessed experiences of physical and sexual violence, rape myth acceptance, bystander confidence, and readiness to help. Descriptive statistics, chi squares, and independent sample t-tests were conducted to determine differences between groups. <b>Results:</b> Analyses showed no association between international student status and lifetime exposure to violence. Differences were found on acceptance of rape myths and bystander confidence. <b>Conclusions:</b> This study demonstrates the potential benefit of tailored violence prevention and intervention efforts.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
