目的-研究文献中对强奸和性侵犯的定义差异很大，导致对犯罪行为的估计范围很广，并对可能影响参与性暴力的因素提出了一些问题。本文旨在讨论这个问题。设计/方法/方式-目前的研究使用的样本大学男性评估多种形式的测量性侵犯和理论predictors.Findings -调查结果表明，不同的措施的性侵犯（广义与狭义;假设与行为）显着相关。此外，许多理论预测因素（强奸神话，低自我控制，性权利和色情使用）始终与所有测量形式相关。然而，一些变量（男子气概，对妇女的暴力行为，性伴侣，酒精和毒品的使用同伴的支持）只涉及广泛的措施的性侵犯，和一些只涉及到假设（即确定性的忧虑）或行为措施（即兄弟会成员）。研究限制/影响-由于所选择的方法，结果可能缺乏普遍性。结果，但是，点的重要考虑因素，在定义性侵犯mushingforward.Practical影响-结果指向的重要性，针对政策和方案的特定特征，最一贯的影响sexual aggression. Origality/value -本文讨论了挥之不去的问题，在定义和测量的差异对理解性侵犯的影响。
Purpose - Definitions of rape and sexual aggression have varied widely in the research literature, resulting in a wide range of estimates for perpetration and remaining questions as to the factors that may affect involvement in sexual violence. The paper aims to discuss this issue.Design/methodology/approach - The current study uses a sample of college men to assess multiple forms of measurement of sexual aggression and theoretical predictors.Findings - Findings indicate that the different measures of sexual aggression (broad vs narrow; hypothetical vs behavioral) are significantly correlated with each other. Additionally, many theoretical predictors (rape myths, low self-control, sexual entitlement, and pornography use) are consistently related to all measurement forms. However, some variables (masculinity, peer support for violence against women, sexual partners, and alcohol and drug use) are only related to broad measures of sexual aggression, and some are related only to hypothetical (i.e. certainty of apprehension) or behavioral measures (i.e. fraternity membership).Research limitations/implications - Because of the chosen approach, the results may lack generalizability. Findings do, however, point to important considerations in defining sexual aggression moving forward.Practical implications - Results point to the importance of aiming policy and programs at the particular characteristics that most consistently impact sexual aggression.Originality/value - This paper addresses lingering questions about the impact of differences in definition and measurement on understanding sexual aggression.
