abstract="This study examined incoming male college students' proclivity to perpetrate sexual assault at a large public university in the Northeast (<i>n</i> = 1,619). Overall, self-reported proclivity to perpetrate was low (between 20-26%). Students' perception that a peer would intervene as a bystander was negatively associated with proclivity, while acceptance of certain rape myths was positively associated with proclivity. Students who intended to join a fraternity and White students had increased proclivity to perpetrate using force or incapacitation. Based on these findings, recommendations for sexual assault prevention efforts are included.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
