CULTURE SPECIFIC MODELS OF MEN'S AGGRESSION

描述(改编自调查人员摘要)：缺乏 关于少数民族人口性侵犯的信息。这是未知的 如果与欧洲裔美国人的性侵犯相关的因素也是 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次大规模研究决定因素。 亚裔美国人样本中的性侵犯。 提出了一种理论模型，在该模型中，一般构造性的远端 攻击性行为由更多的结构来调节或缓和 近在性侵犯行为和特定的性侵犯行为。最远端的 要检查的构造是种族。该模型的第二个层次包括 个人主义和集体主义。据预测，欧洲裔美国人将 相对比亚裔美国人更个人主义。亚裔美国人有 更强烈的种族认同预计将是双文化的。第三级 该模型涉及到与性有关的人际关系结构 在集体主义道路上的侵略。个人内部的结构分化为 充满敌意的男子气概和客观的性爱路径。人际关系的建构 分成一条风险和一条保护之路，每一条都涉及性行为的影响 对某人声誉的侵犯，包括对父母、同龄人和 法律当局。所有路径都会聚在模型的第四级， 物质滥用，包括酒精和毒品，作为性行为的解抑剂 攻击性。药物滥用可缓解人际关系和 人际关系对性侵犯的建构。这种依赖的衡量标准是性的 攻击性，通过自我报告和实验室模拟测量来衡量。 假设在性侵犯的结构方程模型中： (1)特定于文化的性侵犯模型将更符合数据 意志是性攻击的一般模式；(2)人际建构意志 为欧洲裔美国人和亚裔美国人都适合的模式做出贡献。 该项目的具体目标是：(1)测试特定于文化的模型 男子对亚裔美国人和欧洲裔美国人的性侵犯； 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 少数人状态；以及(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.
