Abstract:
Hookups can result in sexual assault when men do not listen to requests from women to stop. It is thus important to identify factors that influence men\'s decisions to override direct refusals in these situations. Presently, we administered first-person vignettes depicting a prototypical hookup wherein the woman refuses the man\'s attempt to escalate intimacy. Using a national sample of emerging adult men (N = 420), we found that they on average did not completely rule out coercive or forcible tactics, but those elevated on rape myth acceptance, hypermasculinity, and psychopathy were uniquely at risk of assault when controlling for several other traits known to correlate with rape. Participants also reported being likelier to use coercive sexual practices when refusals occurred at higher levels of sexual intimacy already attained. Notably, diagnostic analyses revealed that a subset of men had a disproportionate influence on the regression estimates, and that these men were not only elevated across a range of assault-relevant traits, but also endorsed higher likelihoods of using coercion and force in the face of female sexual refusal. Although removal of these cases did not substantively alter the results, exploratory analyses revealed that these individuals responded differently to situational factors in ways that suggested sexual opportunism. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.
摘要:
当男人不听女人要求停止时,联播会导致性侵犯。因此,在这些情况下,确定影响男性决定推翻直接拒绝的因素是很重要的。目前,我们进行了第一人称小插曲,描绘了一个典型的联播,其中女人拒绝了男人升级亲密关系的尝试。使用全国新兴成年男性样本(N=420),我们发现他们平均并没有完全排除强制性或强制性的战术,但是那些接受强奸神话的人,阳刚之气,当控制其他几个已知与强奸相关的特征时,精神病患者独特地面临着攻击的风险。参与者还报告说,当在已经达到的较高水平的性亲密状态下发生拒绝时,更有可能使用强制性的性行为。值得注意的是,诊断分析显示,一部分男性对回归估计的影响不成比例,这些人不仅在一系列与攻击相关的特征上被提升,但也赞同在面对女性性拒绝时使用胁迫和武力的可能性更高。尽管删除这些病例并没有实质性改变结果,探索性分析显示,这些个体对情境因素的反应不同,暗示了性机会主义。讨论了这些发现的理论和实践意义。
