Communication with the entry-level employee was unanimously identified as the most important factor in retention. The author s own job-search experiences were included as a case study counterpoint to the information gathered in the interviews. The present study investigated effects of level of victim resistance, type of coercive strategy, and victim gender on perceptions of dating situations involving unwanted sexual behavior. Participants read one of twelve scenarios describing a date in which a victim was pressured into sexual intercourse. Results indicate that non-resistant victims are perceived as more responsible than resistant victims, and female victims are attributed less pleasure and more stress than male victims.
Males attribute more pleasure to victims than do females.
Scenarios were more likely to be labeled date or acquaintance rape when a victim resisted rather than offered no resistance and when the victim was female rather than male. Females were more likely to select the rape label than were males. Results suggest that information about coercive strategies and victim resistance influences male and female perceptions of involved targets and selections of labels of unwanted sexual behavior in a dating situation.
