这项研究描述了与男性和女性青少年样本中经历和实施性侵犯相关的风险因素。高中生填写了一份问卷，其中包含性经历调查的修订版，以评估性受害和犯罪经历。分别对男女学生进行序数回归方程估计，回归背景特征、约会行为以及对性受害（女性）或犯罪（男性）的态度量表。近一半 (48%) 的女性报告遭受过性侵犯，三分之一 (34%) 的男性承认犯有此类犯罪行为。回归分析显示，在过去一个月内约会更频繁的女性、在过去 6 个月内与更多不同的人约会的男性和女性以及年长男性中，报告受害/犯罪的可能性增加。与无宗教信仰的女性和计划上大学的女性相比，自称新教徒宗教信仰的女性报告受害的可能性较小。在男性中，拒绝强奸成见并拥有更准确的强奸法律知识与举报性犯罪的可能性降低有关。讨论了改善青少年性侵犯教育计划的影响。
This study describes the risk factors associated with experiencing and committing sexual aggression among a sample of male and female adolescents. High school students completed a questionnaire containing a revised form of the Sexual Experiences Survey to assess sexual victimization and offending experiences. Ordinal regression equations were estimated separately for male and female students, regressing background characteristics, dating behaviors, and attitudinal scales on sexual victimization (for females) or offending (for males). Nearly half (48%) of the females report experiencing sexual aggression, and one-third (34%) of males admit committing this type of offending. Regression analyses show that the likelihood of reporting victimization/offending increases among females who report dating more frequently during the past month, among both males and females who report dating more different people during the past 6 months, and among older males. Females who report their religious affiliation as Protestants compared to those with no religious affiliation, and those planning to attend college are less likely to report victimization. Among the males, rejecting rape stereotypes and having more accurate legal knowledge regarding rape are related to reduced likelihoods of reporting sexual offending. Implications for improving sexual assault educational programs for adolescents are discussed.
