Perspectives and Practices of Peer Accountability Among College Men - JCAPS Vol. 7 Issue 1

Concepts of student peer accountability and intervention have largely focused on high-risk behaviors (i.e., substance use, sexual misconduct, hazing, etc.) or the institutional practices of conduct investigation. This study extends student involvement literature to explore how undergraduate men understand and engage in peer accountability behaviors. Further, this study examines the role involvement experiences play in how undergraduate men learn and practice peer accountability through a comparison of social fraternity members and unaffiliated students. To do so, a multiinstitutional survey was conducted to gather insights from undergraduate students and draw comparisons through their involvement experiences.
