PROSPECTIVE ANALYSES OF ALCOHOL USE IN SEXUAL ASSAULT

许多研究人员已经证明，饮酒和性行为 袭击事件同时发生，但没有关于 这种关系的因果动态。拟议研究的目标是 为了减少性侵犯的发生率， 饮酒、对性暗示的误解和性行为之间的关系 人身攻击计算机辅助的自我采访将进行与一个 800名非裔美国人和高加索妇女的代表性样本， 符合研究标准的底特律大都会地区的女性。通过 询问性侵犯的受害者和肇事者的类似问题， 对酒精在性侵犯中的作用的看法存在性别差异， 接受检查。根据他们对性经历调查的回答， 参与者将被要求描述与以下方面相关的情况： 要么：a）涉及酒精的性侵犯和不涉及酒精的性侵犯， B）性侵犯和类似的社交场合，不涉及 性侵犯，或c）最近的日期。将检查特定假设 关于以下方面的异同：a）酒精和无酒精 性攻击，B）性攻击和类似的社交场合，c） 妇女和男子对性侵犯的看法，以及d）非洲裔美国人的 和白人的性侵犯经历过去误解的衡量标准 和约会经历，强奸支持信仰，社交技巧，酒精 对饮酒女性的期望，对饮酒女性的刻板印象，通常的饮酒量， 与酒精有关的问题也将包括在内。这些变量将 用于结构方程建模分析，以检查 酒精在性侵犯中的作用是由修道院和她的同事们开发的。 前瞻性数据也将从这些相同的个人收集两个 几年后，使模型也可以纵向治疗。的 这项研究的结果将对酒精产生直接影响。 性侵犯预防和治疗服务。

Many researchers have documented that alcohol consumption and sexual assault co-occur, but detailed information is not available regarding the causal dynamics of this relationship. The goal of the proposed research is to reduce the incidence of sexual assault by explicating the relationship between alcohol consumption, misperception on sexual cues, and sexual assault. Computer-assisted self-interviews will be conducted with a representative sample of 800 African American and Caucasian women and women in the Detroit Metropolitan area who meet the study's criteria. By asking comparable questions of victims and perpetrators of sexual assault, gender differences in perceptions of alcohol's role in sexual assault can be examined. Based on their responses to the Sexual Experiences Survey, participants will be asked to describe the circumstances associated with either: a) an alcohol-involved and a no-alcohol involved sexual assault, b) a sexual assault and a similar social occasion which did not involve sexual assault, or c) a recent date. Specific hypothesis will be examined regarding similarities and differences between: a) alcohol and no-alcohol sexual assaults, b) sexual assaults and similar social occasions, c) women;s and men's perceptions of sexual assault, and d) African Americans' and Caucasians' sexual assault experiences. Measures of past misperception and dating experiences, rape supportive beliefs, social skills, alcohol expectancies, stereotypes about drinking women, usual alcohol consumption, and alcohol-related problems will be included. These variables will be used in structural equation modeling analyses to examine the model of alcohol's role in sexual assault developed by Abbey and her colleagues. Prospective data will also be collected from these same individuals two years later so that the model can also be treated longitudinally. The results of the proposed research will have direct implications for alcohol and sexual assault prevention and treatment services.
