TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - I said no: the impact of voicing non-consent on women's perceptions of and responses to rape JO - Violence against women A1 - Cook, Natalie K. A1 - Messman-Moore, Terri L. SP - 507 EP - 527 VL - 24 IS - 5 N2 - The current study explored the impact of voicing non-consent in relation to rape. Aims of the study included determining (a) the prevalence of voicing non-consent, (b) the relationship of voicing non-consent to verbal and physical resistance, and (c) whether voicing non-consent predicts distress and rape acknowledgment. Out of 262 college women who experienced rape, 81% voiced non-consent. Voicing non-consent was related to verbal and physical resistance, but was distinct in prevalence and prediction of distress. Voicing non-consent was associated with trauma-related symptoms in multivariate models. Women who voiced non-consent were more likely to acknowledge their experience as rape or sexual assault. Implications are discussed.
