- Description:
- This study explored the issue of date rape as it relates to African American college students at Clark Atlanta University, a private Historically Black University(HBCU). Students completed a questionnaire that assessed their socialization from parents regarding sex education, perceptions of sexual relationships and knowledge of date rape. The sample consisted of 30 students (juniors and seniors) at Clark Atlanta University in the 2000-2001 school year. The students were given a 28-item questionnaire that assessed demographics, sexual socialization, knowledge regarding date rape, and perceptions regarding sexual relationships. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings indicated that many of the students had talked to their parents about sex at an early age (at or before age 10). The male and female students did have a difference in perception regarding sexual relationships, and only 46% of the students correctly answered all the questions regarding date rape. Finally, the findings showed that 57% of the students held rape supportive attitudes. These results are valuable for social workers because it shows the need for date rape prevention and education services for college students.
