Project Update: Development and Validation of the Himpathy Scale:
A Tool for Identification of Bias in Campus Sexual Assault Cases
Since the last update I have been able to present the findings on the development of the himpathy scale at the Association for Women in Psychology 2025 Conference. The presentation was very well received and generated a lot of interest: we’ve received several requests to share the scale with other researchers eager to use it. We will be able to share it as soon as it is published- which we're working on.
I have recently applied to give a presentation on our second himpathy study at The Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality later in the Fall. This study attempts to clarify the influence of preconceived notions of sexual assault and gender roles on the deployment of himpathy when evaluating specific cases.
In other news, we’ve hit a roadblock regarding funding for a project on profiling typologies of intimate partner homicide perpetrators given the recent federal funding freeze, although we are close to getting access to potential study participants currently in correction facilities here in Indiana.
