Book excerpt: Abstract: Previous research on the effectiveness of sexual harassment prevention training has shown mixed results. While gender differences can account for some of these positive and negative results, very little has been done to look at the instructional design of the training programs; specifically the approach and language of course materials. Sexual assault prevention training has yielded success using a non-accusatory or bystander approach, increasing both engagement and positive attitudes towards the training. The current study measured the effectiveness by applying the bystander approach to sexual harassment training using bystander language in an interactive tabletop exercise. Pre and post-tests results found. that participants in the engagement condition had higher satisfaction scores and a greater magnitude of change between and post test scores than in the non-engagement condition. However, the results could only support a general trend when looking at the use of bystander versus accusatory language.
