在这里，我们调查了在拒绝未来的追求时，经历过不想要的追求（包括性的和浪漫的）是如何影响一个人的压力和策略的。在这项研究中（N= 465, 71%是女性），女性报告说，与男性相比，女性在更早的时候经历过不想要的追求，而且这些女性更有可能对这种追求感到更大的担忧。此外，女性往往比男性更担心拒绝这些求爱的后果（例如，被打，被吼）。最后，在拒绝预付款时，女性更有可能采用各种策略（例如，逃跑，打电话给朋友）来确保自己的安全。相比之下，男性更有可能与被拒绝的人保持朋友关系。最终，女性必须在很小的时候就处理拒绝求爱的问题，而这种过早的开始会对未来的约会产生影响。
Here we investigated how a history of experiencing unwanted advances—both sexual and romantic—impact a person’s stress and strategies when rejecting future advances. In this study (N= 465; 71% women), women reported experiencing unwanted advances earlier in life compared to men, and these women were more likely to have greater worry over such advances. Additionally, women tended to worry more than men about the repercussions of rejecting these advances (e.g., being hit, being yelled at). Lastly, women were more likely to employ a myriad of strategies (e.g., run away, call a friend) to ensure their safety when rejecting an advance. In contrast, men were more likely to remain friends with the rejected person. Ultimately, women have to deal with rejecting advances at an early age and this early onset has consequences for future dating.
