CULTURE SPECIFIC MODELS OF MEN'S AGGRESSION

描述（改编自研究者摘要）：缺乏 关于少数民族人口遭受性侵犯的资料。尚不清楚 如果与欧洲裔美国人的性侵犯有关的因素也是 与其他群体的性侵犯有关，包括亚裔美国人， 他们是美国增长最快的少数民族人口。 拟议的项目将是第一个大规模研究的决定因素， 亚裔美国人样本中的性侵犯 提出了一个理论模型，在该模型中， 攻击性行为是由更多的结构介导或调节的， 与性侵犯行为密切相关最远端 要研究的结构是种族。模型的第二个层次涉及 个人主义和集体主义。据预测， 比亚裔美国人更个人主义。亚裔美国人 预计较强的族裔认同将是双文化的。第三层 该模型涉及人际结构，特别是与性有关的人际结构， 在集体主义道路上的侵略。自我建构分歧成 敌对的男性气质和客观的性路径。人际结构 分为风险和保护路径，每一个都涉及性行为的影响， 侵犯一个人的声誉方面的影响，父母，同龄人， 法律的权威。所有路径都在模型的第四层收敛， 物质滥用，包括酒精和药物作为性行为的抑制剂 侵略物质滥用缓和了人际关系和 人际关系对性侵犯的影响依赖性指标是性 攻击性，通过自我报告和实验室模拟测量。 据推测，在性侵犯的结构方程模型中： (1)特定文化的性侵犯模型将更好地拟合数据 将性侵犯的一般模式;（2）人际结构将 有助于在欧洲裔美国人和亚裔美国人之间建立模型。 该项目的具体目标是：（1）测试特定文化的模型， 亚裔美国人和欧洲裔美国人的男性性侵犯;（2） 交叉验证模型;（3）确定是否存在种族差异， 性侵犯的决定因素是基于文化或种族的结果， 少数民族地位;（4）确定模型的预测有效性， 纵向研究

DESCRIPTION (adapted from investigator's abstract): There is a dearth of information on sexual aggression in ethnic minority populations. It is unknown if factors associated with sexual aggression among European Americans also are associated with sexual aggression in other groups, including Asian Americans, which are the fastest growing ethnic minority population in the United States. The proposed project would be the first large-scale study of determinants of sexual aggression in Asian American samples. A theoretical model is proposed in which general constructs distal to sexually aggressive behavior are mediated or moderated by constructs that are more proximal and specific to sexually aggressive behavior. The most distal construct to be examined is Ethnicity. The second level of the model involves Individualism and Collectivism. European Americans are predicted to be relatively more individualistic than Asian Americans. Asian Americans having stronger ethnic identities are expected to be bicultural. The third level of the model involves Interpersonal Constructs specifically associated with sexual aggression in the collectivist path. The intrapersonal constructs diverge into Hostile Masculinity and Impersonal Sex paths. The interpersonal constructs diverge into a risk and a protective path, each involving the impact of sexual aggression on one's reputation in terms of its effects on parents, peers, and legal authorities. All paths converge at the fourth level of the model, Substance Abuse, which includes alcohol and drugs as dis-inhibitors of sexual aggression. Substance abuse moderates the effects of interpersonal and interpersonal constructs on sexual aggression. The dependent measure is Sexual Aggression, as measured by self-report and laboratory analogue measures. It is hypothesized that within structural equation models of sexual aggression: (1) culture-specific models of sexual aggression will fit the data better than will a general model of sexual aggression; (2) interpersonal constructs will contribute to model fit among for both European Americans and Asian Americans. The specific aims of the project are to: (1) test culture-specific models of men's sexual aggression in Asian Americans and European Americans; (2) to cross-validate the model; (3) determine if ethnic differences in the determinants of sexual aggression are culturally-based or the result of ethnic minority status; and (4) determine the predictive validity of the models in a longitudinal study.
