两项基于酒精近视模型的研究旨在了解女性饮酒对性侵犯脆弱性的影响。我们预测，在高度冲突的社会情境中，酒精会使人们更难以识别性侵犯风险，从而降低抵制性挑衅的意图。方法：在研究 1 中，酒吧招募了女性 (N = 51)，并将其分为高（0.06 或更高）呼吸酒精浓度 (BrAC) 或低 BrAC。他们被要求将自己投射到一个假设的场景中，该场景描绘了对建立亲密关系的兴趣，并包括轻微的性侵犯。在研究 2 中，女性 (N = 101) 被随机分配到酒精组（目标 BrAC：0.08%）、安慰剂组或无酒精组。他们在两个时间点对描述轻度性侵犯（时间 1）和严重性侵犯（时间 2）的类似假设场景做出反应。结果：在研究 1 中，与 BrAC 较低的女性相比，BrAC 较高的女性在该场景中感知到的风险较小，并且预期阻力较小。在研究 2 中，也发现了类似的结果，但仅发生在严重攻击行为之后。没有安慰剂效应。两项研究都表明，酒精对抵抗力的影响部分是通过风险认知来调节的。结论：酒精似乎会降低抵制熟人性挑衅的意图，同时增加追求增进关系的行为的意图。酒精近视的观点并不能完全解释其影响。两项研究结果的差异可能反映了方法、背景或样本的差异。
Two studies, based on an alcohol myopia model, were designed to understand the role of women's alcohol consumption on vulnerability to sexual assault. We predicted that, in a high-conflict social situation, alcohol would make it more difficult to recognize sexual assault risk, lowering intentions to resist sexual advances. Method: In Study 1, women (N = 51) were recruited in bars and classified as having a high (.06 or greater) breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) or low BrAC. They were asked to project themselves into a hypothetical scenario that portrayed interest in establishing an intimate relationship and included mild sexual aggression. In Study 2, women (N = 101) were randomly assigned to an alcohol (target BrAC: .08%), placebo, or no-alcohol condition. They responded at two time points to a similar hypothetical scenario that described mild sexual aggression (Time 1) and serious sexual aggression (Time 2). Results: In Study 1, women with higher BrAC perceived less risk in the scenario and anticipated less resistance than women with low BrAC. In Study 2, similar results were found but only following serious aggression. There were no placebo effects. Both studies suggest that the effects of alcohol on resistance are partially mediated via risk perceptions. Conclusions: Alcohol appears to reduce intentions to resist sexual advances from an acquaintance while increasing intentions to pursue relationship-enhancing behaviors. Effects are not completely explained by an alcohol myopia perspective. Differences in findings between the two studies may reflect differences in methodology, context, or sample.
