The Social Reactions Questionnaire (SRQ) is a widely used instrument designed to measure perceptions of social reactions. Studies using the SRQ have generally asked women to report on social reactions from "other persons told about the assault," without specifying which persons. The purpose of this study was to test a modified version of the SRQ that asked women to report separately on social reactions from criminal justice personnel, community-based providers, and informal supports. The researchers sought to examine changes in social reactions longitudinally as well as the impact of social reactions on criminal justice engagement and post-traumatic distress among diverse women following a recent sexual assault. The study included testing hypotheses about the inter-relationships among social reactions, victim well-being (e.g., psychological distress), and criminal justice variables (e.g., victim engagement with prosecution). Addressing the dearth of longitudinal research on social reactions, this study examined causal links among variables. In particular, researchers tested hypotheses about changes in social reactions over time in relation to criminal justice cases and victims' post-traumatic reactions. The data included as part of this collection includes one SPSS data file (2_1-Data_Quantiative-Variables-Updated-20180611.sav) with 3,310 variables for 228 cases. Demographic variables included: respondent's age, race, ethnicity, country of origin, sexual orientation, marital status, education level, employment status, income source, economic level, religion, household characteristics, and group identity. The data also contain transcripts of qualitative interviews and one SPSS qualitative coding dataset (file7-2_4_Data_Open_ended_Codes_from_Transcripts.sav) with 19 variables and 225 cases, which are not included in this fast track release.

社会反应问卷（Social Reactions Questionnaire, SRQ）是一款应用广泛的测量工具，用于评估个体对他人社会反应的感知情况。过往使用SRQ的相关研究通常仅要求女性报告“得知自身遭遇性侵者”所给出的社会反应，但未明确指定具体对象。本研究旨在对经过改良的SRQ版本进行验证，该改良版问卷要求女性分别报告来自刑事司法人员、社区服务提供者以及非正式支持群体的社会反应。研究者旨在纵向追踪社会反应的变化情况，并探究在近期遭遇性侵犯的不同群体女性中，社会反应对其刑事司法参与度以及创伤后痛苦症状的影响。本研究对多项假设进行了检验，涵盖社会反应、受害者福祉（如心理痛苦程度）与刑事司法相关变量（如受害者配合公诉的情况）之间的相互关系。针对当前社会反应相关纵向研究匮乏的现状，本研究对变量间的因果关联进行了探究。具体而言，研究者针对社会反应随时间推移的变化情况与刑事司法案件、受害者创伤后反应之间的关联检验了相关假设。
