性胁迫在这里被定义为一种形式的男性性行为不端，其中使用非身体策略(例如，言语压力)来获得与不情愿的女性伴侣的性接触。这项研究比较了性强迫(n=81)和非性侵犯的大学男生(n=223)在几个领域的风险特征。结果显示，性强迫者与非犯罪者的不同之处在于，他们更多地认同强奸神话，认为人际暴力更容易被接受，报告对女性更具敌意，并认为男女关系本质上更具敌意。此外，与非犯罪者相比，性强迫的男性表现出更强的滥交和犯罪迹象，报告的精神变态人格特征更多，同理心缺陷更多，更有可能经历过某些形式的童年虐待。在大多数方面，胁迫者与那些报告参与了涉及使用武力的更严重形式的性侵犯的人没有什么不同。这些结果表明，未犯过错的男性和那些通过性强迫行为“越界”的男性之间存在着重要的区别。此外，在这项研究中确定的性胁迫的预测因素与性侵犯(例如，强迫强奸)文献中记录的那些预测因素之间可以得出一致的相似之处。
Sexual coercion is defined here as a form of male sexual misconduct in which nonphysical tactics (e.g., verbal pressure) are utilized to gain sexual contact with an unwilling female partner. This study compares the risk characteristics of sexually coercive (n=81) and nonoffending college males (n=223) across several domains. Results revealed that sexual coercers differed from nonoffenders in that they more often subscribed to rape myths, viewed interpersonal violence as more acceptable, reported greater hostility toward females, and perceived male-female relationships as more inherently adversarial. In addition, compared to nonoffenders, sexually coercive males showed stronger indicators of promiscuity and delinquency, reported more psychopathic personality traits, had more empathic deficits, and were more likely to have experienced certain forms of childhood abuse. In most respects, coercers did not differ from those who reported engaging in more severe forms of sexual assault involving the use of physical force. These results suggest important differences between nonoffending males and those who "cross the line" by engaging in sexually coercive acts. In addition, consistent parallels can be drawn between the predictors of sexual coercion identified in this study and those documented in the sexual aggression (e.g., forcible rape) literature.
