| pa19a028 | Are your social media profiles public? | directly measured |
| pa19a029 | I always succeed in solving difficult problems if I try hard enough. | directly measured |
| pa19a030 | When people oppose me, I still find ways to get what I want. | directly measured |
| pa19a031 | I find it easy to stick to my plans and reach my goals. | directly measured |
| pa19a032 | I have faith in my ability to effectively deal with unexpected events. | directly measured |
| pa19a033 | Thanks to my creativity, I know how to act in unexpected situations. | directly measured |
| pa19a034 | I can solve most problems if I try hard enough. | directly measured |
| pa19a035 | I remain calm when faced with problems, because I have faith in my ability to solve problems. | directly measured |
| pa19a036 | When I have a problem, I usually have several solutions. | directly measured |
| pa19a037 | When I find myself in a difficult situation, I usually know what to do. | directly measured |
| pa19a038 | No matter what happens, I’ll find a way out of it. | directly measured |
| pa19a039 | I think it would be a good thing for my friend to share her story online. | directly measured |
| pa19a040 | I would advise my friend to go to the police first and report what happened. | directly measured |
| pa19a041 | I think it would be a good thing for my friend to share her story online, but she should also go to the police and report what happened. | directly measured |
| pa19a042 | I think it would be better if my friend told her story to a counselor. | directly measured |
| pa19a043 | If I read a story like this online, I would share or like it. | directly measured |
| pa19a044 | If this had happened to me, I would also have shared my story on the internet. | directly measured |
| pa19a045 | I think my friend did the right thing. | directly measured |
| pa19a046 | If I had read her story online, I would have helped spread it (by liking or sharing). | directly measured |
| pa19a047 | If I had read her story online, I would have helped find information about or a photograph of the possible perpetrator. | directly measured |
| pa19a048 | I think my friend did the right thing in sharing her story online. | directly measured |
| pa19a049 | If I had read this story online and was aware of the consequences that liking and sharing it would have, I would definitely have helped spread it (by liking or sharing). | directly measured |
| pa19a050 | If this had happened to me, I would have taken the same action as my friend | directly measured |
| pa19a051 | I think that it would be a good thing for my friend to share her story online, despite her doubts. | directly measured |
| pa19a052 | I think she needs to report this to the police. The police can then determine whether or not the perpetrator committed a punishable offense. | directly measured |
| pa19a053 | If the perpetrator is someone she knows, I would recommend that they solve the issue between them. | directly measured |
| pa19a054 | If I had read her story online, I would have helped spread it (by liking or sharing). | directly measured |
| pa19a055 | If this had happened to me, I would have shared my story online. | directly measured |
| pa19a056 | I think that her story really helps other victims, so she should share it online. | directly measured |
| pa19a057 | It is better for a victim to share what happened to them online instead of reporting it to the police. | directly measured |
| pa19a058 | We should leave the investigation and sentencing of possible perpetrators to the police and the courts, not spread personal data on social media at will. | directly measured |
| pa19a059 | Reporting such incidents to the police doesn’t help. Sharing one’s story online is a good way to make sure that a possible perpetrator gets the punishment he deserves. | directly measured |
| pa19a060 | It is a good thing for victims to share what happened to them online, because they feel supported when a lot of people read, like and share their message. | directly measured |
| pa19a061 | I support online shaming and I will always, if I am able to, help find the identity of an unknown possible perpetrator and make this person’s information public. | directly measured |
| pa19a062 | Online shaming can also have negative consequences for the victim. For that reason, I think that sharing one’s victimization online is not a good idea. | directly measured |
| pa19a063 | I support online shaming, but only if it does not involve a request for information about the possible perpetrator or the sharing of that information. | directly measured |
| pa19a064 | Online shaming is a good way to obtain justice for the victim. | directly measured |
| pa19a065 | If a family member or friend of mine were the victim of a sex crime, I would advise him or her to go to the police. | directly measured |
| pa19a066 | If a family member or friend of mine were the victim of a sex crime, I would advise him or her to get help from support services. | directly measured |
| pa19a067 | The police is good at dealing with sex crimes. | directly measured |
| pa19a068 | It is easy to go to the police to report a sex crime. | directly measured |
| pa19a069 | It is difficult to relate a story about a sex crime to the police; it takes a lot of courage to do so. | directly measured |
| pa19a070 | All of the previous questions concerned a story about something that happened to a good female friend of yours. Would you have given the same answers if the victim was a male friend of yours? | directly measured |
