Abstract

Sexual violence against women is acknowledged as one of pressing problems across the globe. The presence of capable bystanders to prevent sexual violence is a necessity. This article is based on a research questioning whether individual, family and institutional factors associated with student’s efficacy to perform bystander behavior to prevent sexual violence. Student’s efficacy was measured using Bystander Intention to Help Scale developed by Banyard et.al. (2005). The research was carried out in late 2016 at 3 universities in West Java that was classified as public-secular, public-religious affiliated, and private-secular types. Around 950 non-randomly selected students from various academic disciplines with average age of 19 years participated in the study. Study found that level of religiosity and university type as significant factors. The higher the level of religiosity, the more students reported confidence to act as bystander. In addition, students from public university reported higher level of efficacy to prevent sexual violence than their counterparts from private university. Findings will be discussed by comparing developing and developed regions contexts, especially with regards to strategies to prevent sexual violence in campus and university roles to promote pro-social norms behavior against violence against women.
