Abstract/Summary
This project intends to examine the effectiveness of California Polytechnic State University’s (“Cal Poly’s”) current student requirements on the subject of intimate partner violence. The existing mandatory training is meant to inform students on the prevalence of intimate partner violence and advise them on prevention and intervention techniques. The research in this project explores a broad contextualization of intimate partner violence from a social and historical perspective, which intends to explore the possibility that students may be more likely to internalize the significance of the information if such context was included in the training model. The research also presents information on the concept of framing and how it is an essential aspect of communicating information effectively. Essentially, this project explores the possibility that students may be completing the sexual violence training as a means to an end, but that reframing the content of the training could bolster student’s dedication to learning the material and therefore better achieve the training’s objectives.
