Brief Summary

We propose an experimental design to empirically establish the potential link between the media portrayal of DV and changes in an individual's DV descriptive and injunctive social norms. Specifically, this study will measure the degree to which people implicitly collude with DV perpetration.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Change from Baseline on The Collusion Framing Subscale

  The scale will be developed based on the changes from baseline.

  The scale is administered at baseline and then following the sub experiment for a total of 2 times, 30 minutes apart.

• Change from Baseline on The Collusion Labeling Subscale

  The scale will be developed based on the changes from baseline.

  The scale is administered at baseline and then following the sub experiment for a total of 2 times, 30 minutes apart.

• Change from Baseline on The Collusion Extraneous Information Subscale

  The scale will be developed based on the changes from baseline.

  The scale is administered at baseline and then following the sub experiment for a total of 2 times, 30 minutes apart.

• Change from Baseline on The Collusion Negative Characteristics Subscale

  The scale will be developed based on the changes from baseline.

  The scale is administered at baseline and then following the sub experiment for a total of 2 times, 30 minutes apart.

Study Arms (3)

Condition 1

EXPERIMENTAL

Each study arm contains different scenarios presented to the participant. Condition 1 is a Perpetrator Positive scenario. The content of the Condition 1 group is as follows: Framing: Episodic Labeling: DV label Extraneous Information: Perpetrator positive non relevant Victim/Perp Characteristic: Negative victim

Other: Condition 1: Perpetrator Positive

Condition 2

EXPERIMENTAL

Each study arm contains different scenarios presented to the participant. Condition 2 is a Perpetrator Negative scenario. The content of the Condition 2 group is as follows: Framing: Thematic Labeling: Assault label Extraneous Information: Perpetrator neutral non relevant Victim/Perp Characteristic: Negative Perpetrator

Other: Condition 2: Perpetrator Negative

Condition 3

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Each study arm contains different scenarios presented to the participant. The content of the Condition 3 group is as follows: Framing: Neither Labeling: No label Extraneous Information: None Victim/Perp Characteristic: None

Other: Condition 3: Placebo

Interventions

Condition 1: Perpetrator Positive OTHER

Condition 1 frames the event as episodic, labels the event as domestic violence, uses a positive description of the perpetrator, and a negative description of the victim.

Condition 1

Condition 2: Perpetrator Negative OTHER

The condition 2 intervention/exposure frames the event as thematic, labels the event as assault, uses a neutral description of the perpetrator, and a negative description of the perpetrator.

Condition 2

Condition 3: Placebo OTHER

This intervention provides no details for the participant and is for comparison use in the study.

Condition 3
