目的：虽然对性侵犯受害者和犯罪者的评估有了很大的改进，但目前的评分方法并没有充分利用它们提供的丰富信息。目前的研究利用性经验调查评估了性侵犯严重程度评分的新方法（SES; Koss et al., 2007）。方法：对过去一年内无保护措施性行为的无问题饮酒者，女性（n = 436）和男性（n = 313）进行2项研究，比较3种严重程度分级方案，以及每种严重程度方案的3种评分方法，共9种评分方法。新的严重性排序方案分别考虑了战术类型、攻击结果的不同组合，并考虑了攻击的多种类型和频率。评估趋同效度的措施也被执行。结果：78% （n = 340）的女性报告了受害行为，58% （n = 180）的男性报告了犯罪行为。所有严重程度评分方法均与收敛性措施密切相关。结论：各评分方法均可行；然而，特别是在受害/犯罪率较高的样本中，将多种类型和频率的攻击经历纳入SES评分可能会有好处。为了显著推进性侵犯评估领域，最近对SES的改进需要对其评分方法进行相应的改进。
Objective: Although assessments of sexual assault victimization and perpetration have greatly improved, current scoring methods do not fully utilize the wealth of information they provide. The present studies assessed new methods for scoring sexual assault severity using the Sexual Experiences Survey (SES; Koss et al., 2007). Method: In 2 studies of female (n = 436) and male (n = 313) nonproblem drinkers who had engaged in unprotected sex within the past year, we compared 3 severity-ranking schemes, as well as 3 scoring methods per severity scheme for a total of 9 scoring methods. New severity-ranking schemes considered tactic types separately, varied combinations of assault outcomes, and accounted for multiple types and frequencies of assaults. Measures assessing convergent validity were also administered. Results: Seventy-eight percent (n = 340) of the women reported victimization, and 58% (n = 180) of the men reported perpetration. All severity scoring methods were strongly associated with convergent measures. Conclusions: Each scoring method is viable; however, especially among samples with greater victimization/perpetration rates, there can be advantages to incorporating multiple types and frequencies of assault experiences into SES scores. Recent refinements of the SES necessitate commensurate improvements in its scoring methods in order to significantly advance the field of sexual assault assessment.
