(2017): Contact with Counter-Stereotypical Women Predicts Less Sexism, Less Rape Myth Acceptance, Less Intention to Rape (in Men) and Less Projected Enjoyment of Rape (in Women). In: Sex Roles 76 (7), S. 473-484. DOI: 10.1007/s11199-016-0679-x
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/s11199-016-0679-x Abstract: Intergroup contact-(positive) interactions with people from different social groups-is a widely researched and strongly supported prejudice-reducing mechanism shown to reduce prejudice against a wide variety of outgroups. However, no known previous research has investigated whether intergroup contact can also reduce sexism against women. Sexism has an array of negative outcomes. One of the most detrimental and violent ones is rape, which is both justified and downplayed by rape myth acceptance. We hypothesised that more frequent, higher quality contact with counter-stereotypical women would predict lower levels of sexism and thus less rape myth acceptance (in men) and less sexualised projected responses to rape (in women). Two studies using online surveys with community samples supported these hypotheses. In Study 1, 170 male participants who experienced more positive contact with counter-stereotypical women reported less intention to rape. Similarly, in Study 2, 280 female participants who experienced more positive contact with counter-stereotypical women reported less projected sexual arousal at the thought of being raped. Thus, the present research is the first known to show that contact could be a potential tool to combat sexism, rape myth acceptance, intentions to rape in men, and sexualisation of rape by women.

(2014): "She deserved it". Effects of sexism norms, type of violence, and victim's pre-assault behavior on blame attributions toward female victims and approval of the aggressor's behavior. In: Violence against women 20 (4), S. 446-464. DOI: 10.1177/1077801214528581
DOI: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24686127 Abstract: Effects of ambivalent sexism, sexism norms, victim behavior, and type of violence on male students' reactions to male violence against women in intimate relationships were examined. Participants judged a scenario depicting an act of sexual or non-sexual violence against a female partner who had either shown overtly sexual or non-sexual behavior toward another man. Generally, high (vs. low) hostile sexism, high (vs. low) hostile sexism norm feedback, and victim's overtly sexual (vs. non-sexual) behavior led to stronger victim blame and perceived approval of the aggressor's behavior. The victim of non-sexual violence was blamed more than the rape victim, particularly if she had behaved in an overtly sexual manner.

(2013): A mixed-methodological examination of investment model variables among abused and nonabused college women. In: Journal of American College Health 61 (1), S. 36-43. DOI: 10.1080/07448481.2012.750609
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1080/07448481.2012.750609 Abstract: Objective: This study assessed abused and nonabused women's perceptions of Investment Model (IM) variables (ie, relationship investment, satisfaction, commitment, quality of alternatives) utilizing a mixed-methods design. Participants: Participants included 102 college women, approximately half of whom were in abusive dating relationships. Methods: Qualitative content analyses were used to analyze transcribed responses to open-ended questions about abused and nonabused women's perceptions of IM variables. These coding categories were compared with a quantitative measure of IM variables. Results: Overall, abused and nonabused women were not found to differ on qualitative or quantitative measures with regard to overall level of commitment, investment, or perceived alternatives to their relationships. However, abused women reported lower levels of satisfaction, and listed more negative aspects of their relationships than nonabused women. Additionally, a number of factors were identified by women to affect their perceptions of these IM variables. Conclusions: Victims of dating violence may minimize the abuse sustained in efforts to maintain their relationships. Alternatively, dissonance between the positive and negative aspects of the relationships may drive ambivalence about leaving relationships, all of which could be addressed in dating violence prevention and intervention programming on campuses.

(2010): Kampf um Anerkennung. In: Psychotherapeut 55 (2), S. 106-112. DOI: 10.1007/s00278-010-0727-x
Abstract: Violence in partnership is seen as the expression of damaged self-love, discharging in form of narcissistic rage against the other. The disturbed basic emotion about the self as the root of the fight for acceptance in partnerships blurs the boundaries between the partners as independent individuals. The trigger for the acceptance theme in its narcissistic dimension may be jealousy unleashed by unfaithfulness. The wish to be accepted by others is a legitimate need but in its overreaching or denied form it may trigger a spiral of violence, which in its worst forms may lead to fights aimed at extermination.

(2006): Social norms and the likelihood of raping. Perceived rape myth acceptance of others affects men's rape proclivity. In: Personality & social psychology bulletin 32 (3), S. 286-297. DOI: 10.1177/0146167205280912
DOI: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16455857 Abstract: Research showing that rape myth acceptance (RMA) causally affects rape proclivity (RP) was extended by examining the impact of RMA-related norms on RP. Male students (total N = 264) received feedback about the alleged responses of other students to RMA items either before (Experiment 1) or after (Experiment 2) they reported their own RMA, and then their RP was assessed using acquaintance-rape scenarios. The level of RMA feedback was varied. Results showed that higher norms led to higher RP. In Experiment 1, this effect was mediated via self-reported RMA. Experiment 2 yielded main effects of both RMA feedback and self-reported RMA and an interaction effect showing that RMA feedback was particularly influential at higher levels of own RMA. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

(2006): Perceived Rape Myth Acceptance of Others Predicts Rape Proclivity. Social Norm or Judgmental Anchoring?. In: Swiss Journal of Psychology 65 (2), S. 93-99. DOI: 10.1024/1421-0185.65.2.93
Abstract: Previous research has shown that information about others' rape myth acceptance (RMA) affects men's rape proclivity (Bohner, Siebler, & Schmelcher, 2006). By varying both the level (low vs. high) and format (norm vs. anchor) of such information, different explanations for this effect were investigated. After reporting their own RMA, 117 male participants either read about others' allegedly low vs. high RMA responses (norm conditions), or estimated if others' responses were higher or lower than an "arbitrary" low vs. high value (anchor conditions). Later, participants indicated their rape proclivity (RP). Results show that the level of others' RMA significantly affected participants' self-reported RP, independent of information format. Furthermore, self-reported RMA and RP were positively correlated. Implications for future research are discussed.

(1997): Maintaining professionalism in the face of emotional abuse from clients. In: Cognitive and Behavioral Practice 4 (1), S. 1-29
Abstract: Examines the characteristics of emotional abuse as experienced by therapists and presents methods by which clinicians can best maintain their professional decorum, responsibilities, objectivity, conceptual skills, and overall effectiveness. Therapists can facilitate their own staying on task, and reduce subjective levels of stress, by utilizing such self-help techniques as cognitive rehearsal, rational responding, assertiveness, and the use of social supports. These strategies help therapists to deal with patterns of hostile outbursts and boundary infringements from clients without feeling helpless and burned out and without terminating their clients prematurely out of desperation. Therapists can remain professional in managing emotionally abusive clients by making judicious use of documentation and supervisory consultations. Issues regarding appropriate termination of emotionally abusive clients are discussed in light of the ethical obligation not to abandon clients. The principle of 'therapist self-preservation,' which takes into account the therapist's need to consider his or her own well-being, along with the client's, is addressed.
