本研究的目的是估计性少数群体（即有任何同性性经历的个体）大学生6个月性侵犯、身体约会暴力（DV）和不受欢迎的追求（如跟踪）受害的发生率，并与非性少数群体（即只有异性性经历的个体）大学生的数据进行比较。参与者（N = 6030）主要是白种人（92.7%）和非性少数（82.3%）。与非性少数学生（n -SMS, n = 4961）相比，性少数学生（n = 1069） 6个月的身体暴力发生率（SMS: 30.3%, n -SMS: 18.5%）、性侵犯发生率（SMS: 24.3%, n -SMS: 11.0%）和骚扰发生率（SMS: 53.1%, n -SMS: 36.0%）显著高于非性少数学生（n -SMS, n = 1069）。我们还探讨了性别的调节作用，发现女性短信报告的身体暴力率显著高于女性n短信，而男性短信和男性n短信报告的身体暴力率相似。性别并没有调节性少数身份与不受欢迎的追求或性受害经历之间的关系。这些发现强调了短信中人际伤害的惊人高比率，以及研究的迫切需要，以更好地了解使短信增加人际伤害风险的解释因素。
The purpose of this study was to estimate the 6-month incidence rates of sexual assault, physical dating violence (DV), and unwanted pursuit (e.g., stalking) victimization among sexual-minority (i.e., individuals with any same-sex sexual experiences) college students with comparison data from non-sexual-minority (i.e., individuals with only heterosexual sexual experiences) college students. Participants (N = 6,030) were primarily Caucasian (92.7%) and non-sexual-minority (82.3%). Compared with nonsexual- minority students (N-SMS; n = 4,961), sexual-minority students (SMS; n = 1,069) reported significantly higher 6-month incidence rates of physical DV (SMS: 30.3%; N-SMS: 18.5%), sexual assault (SMS: 24.3%; N-SMS: 11.0%), and unwanted pursuit (SMS: 53.1%; N-SMS: 36.0%) victimization. We also explored the moderating role of gender and found that female SMS reported significantly higher rates of physical DV than female N-SMS, whereas male SMS and male N-SMS reported similar rates of physical DV. Gender did not moderate the relationship between sexual-minority status and victimization experiences for either unwanted pursuit or sexual victimization. These findings underscore the alarmingly high rates of interpersonal victimization among SMS and the critical need for research to better understand the explanatory factors that place SMS at increased risk for interpersonal victimization.
