目的评估纵向轨迹的大学男性的性侵犯行为，并确定随时间变化的个人和同龄人水平的风险因素，区分男子谁遵循这些不同的pathways. Methods我们的分析样本包括795名男子谁参加了纵向研究的高风险行为在大学生。样本进行了调查，在年底的每一个4年在大学的各种措施，包括性侵犯（SA）和假设的风险因素（敌对的男性气质，性伴侣的数量，酒精滥用，和同行的规范）。ResultsUsing潜在增长混合物建模，我们发现四个不同的SA轨迹：（a）一贯高，（B）下降，（c）增加，和（d）一贯低。多项Logistic回归显示，敌对的男子气概和同行规范积极预测的轨迹成员的时候，每个轨迹反映了高水平的SA。ConclusionsOur研究增加了知识基础，阐明不同的方式性侵犯行为的变化在成年初，以及如何融合模型衍生的因素预测不同的轨迹。随着时间的推移，这些风险因素的变化与SA犯罪风险相对应，这一发现通过阐明在整个大学期间持续关注这些风险因素的重要性，可能通过年度自我评估来告知预防规划。
ObjectiveTo assess longitudinal trajectories of college males’ sexually aggressive behaviors and determine time-varying individual-and peer-level risk factors that differentiate men who follow these different paths.MethodOur analytic sample consisted of 795 men who participated in a longitudinal study on high-risk behaviors among college students. The sample was surveyed at the end of each of their 4 years at university on a variety of measures, including sexual aggression (SA) and its hypothesized risk factors (hostile masculinity, number of sexual partners, alcohol misuse, and peer norms).ResultsUsing latent growth mixture modeling, we found four distinct SA trajectories:(a) consistently high,(b) decreasing,(c) increasing, and (d) consistently low. Multinomial logistic regression revealed that hostile masculinity and peer norms positively predicted trajectory membership at times when each trajectory reflected a high level of SA.ConclusionsOur study adds to the knowledge base by elucidating the different ways sexually aggressive behaviors change during emerging adulthood and how confluence-model-derived factors predict the different trajectories. The finding that changes over time in these risk factors correspond with SA perpetration risk informs prevention programming by illuminating the importance of continual focus on these risk factors throughout the college years, perhaps through annual self-assessments.
