The first topic that I chose was Criminal Behavior and Mental Health. The article of choice is “An examination of associations between sexual assault and health problems, depression or suicidal ideation in a large nationally representation cohort of male and female 20-30 years olds” (Turgumbayev 2023)
According to the article it states “A long line of research has examined whether being a victim of sexual assault is associated with negative and maladaptive outcomes, but has mainly focused on women and girls.” Society has defined sexual assault as something that is more common for females and are less common in males. Society has scrutinize the perspective of a male speaking on being sexual assaulted due to the higher complaints come from mostly female. So does this mean that males are not being sexually assaulted due to the statistics?
After completing some research, I found an article that speaks about the statistic for a male reporting a sexual assault. According to (Rainn) “As of 1998, 2.78 million men in the U.S. has been victims of attempted or completed rape. About 3% of American men or 1 in 33 had been victims of attempted or completed rape in their lifetime. 1 out of every 10 rape victims are male.” As a community how can we allow a safe space for a male that has been sexually assaulted comfortable enough to speak about a crime that is directed towards females.

 Hello, after reading your initial discussion post on the constuct of optisim, I found additional research on the topic. A study conducted by Arrigani and Guzman (2024) focused on optimism in relation to female participants diagnosed with breast cancer. Arrigani  and Guzman (2024) implemented the measure of a Questionnaire of Optimism, containing nine items, with a five point Likert scale. The results, from a statistical standpoint indicated optimism indicated a significantly high level of reliability (Arrigani & Guzman, 2024).  Additonal research on the construct of optimism, presented by Soofi et al., (2023) examined certain components in relation to each other of their participants, including optimism, procrasnation, physical and mental health. The measure implemented to assess optimism was the Life Orientation Test Revised (LOT-R), which contains ten items, three which directly measure optimism (Soofi et al., 2023). The findings of the study, determined optimism has a strong correlation to both physical and mental health (Soofi et al., 2023). Do you feel an assessment, which direclty contains items to measure optiimism demonstrates a higher level of validity, over similar assessments? If so, in what way?
