 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Thirty-three percent of men report committing some form of sexual aggression-unwanted sexual contact including sexual assault and rape-since the age of 14.1 Alcohol is a significant factor: up to 66% of sexual assaults occur when the perpetrator has been drinking.2 Alcohol intoxication compounds sexual aggression likelihood through its disruption of cognitive processes and inhibitory control.36 Intoxication also impedes the individual's ability to utilize higher order cognitive processes, including those necessary for adaptive emotion regulation. Despite emerging research on emotion and emotion regulation in clinical and developmental psychology22, limited research has been conducted on the contribution of emotional arousal and emotion regulation to sexual aggression perpetration in college- and community-samples. Thus the present study focuses on emotional arousal and the emotional regulatory and situational factors that influence sexual aggression. Emotion regulation (ER)-the capacity to detect, control, modulate, and manage emotional states4-may have a contributing role in sexual aggression perpetration that has previously been unstudied. When experiencing emotion arousal, men who use maladaptive regulatory strategies (e.g. suppression,) rather than adaptive strategies (e.g. cognitive reappraisal) are more likely to display psychological and physical aggression intentions with a dating partner.3 While self-report measures of emotion regulation are well- validated, psychophysiological measures of emotional arousal and ER provide greater specificity into the physiological processes accompanying these processes.5 Alcohol administration experiments employing hypothetical eroticized analog scenarios allow for making causal inferences about alcohol's effects on men's sexual aggression intentions.7 Therefore, the present study proposes an innovative design using an alcohol administration protocol and psychophysiological and self-report measures of emotional arousal and emotion regulation to examine the influences of regulatory processes and acute intoxication on sexual aggression intentions. The proposed study will provide valuable insight into the understudied arena of emotional regulatory factors involved in sexual aggression. Moreover, it will provide vital training to a talented and motivated young researcher with impressive research and clinical experiences and a strong academic record. The training and mentorship opportunities afforded in the proposed project and training grant will be crucial for the applicant's development into an independent and productive clinical scientist.

 描述（由申请人提供）：33%的男性报告说，从14岁起，他们就犯下了某种形式的性侵犯-不想要的性接触，包括性侵犯和强奸。高达66% 2酒精中毒通过扰乱认知过程和抑制控制，增加了性侵犯的可能性。中毒还阻碍了个体利用高阶认知过程的能力，包括那些必要的认知过程。 适应性情绪调节尽管在临床和发展心理学中出现了关于情绪和情绪调节的研究22，但在大学和社区样本中，对情绪唤起和情绪调节对性侵犯行为的贡献进行了有限的研究。因此，本研究的重点是情绪唤醒和情绪调节和情境因素，影响性攻击。情绪调节（ER）-检测，控制，调节和管理情绪状态的能力4-可能在性侵犯犯罪中起着以前未研究过的作用。当经历情绪唤醒时，使用适应不良调节策略的男性（例如抑制），而不是适应性策略（例如认知重新评价）更有可能对约会对象表现出心理和身体上的攻击意图。3虽然自我报告的情绪调节措施得到了很好的验证，情绪唤起和ER的心理生理学测量为伴随这些过程的生理过程提供了更大的特异性。5酒精给药实验采用假设的色情模拟场景允许进行因果推断酒精的影响，男性的性侵犯意图。7因此，本研究提出了一个创新的设计，使用酒精管理协议和心理生理和自我报告的措施，情绪唤醒和情绪调节，以检查的影响，监管过程和急性中毒性侵犯意图。这项研究将提供有价值的见解欠研究的竞技场的情绪调节因素参与性侵犯。此外，它将为一位有才华和积极性的年轻研究人员提供重要的培训，这些研究人员具有令人印象深刻的研究和临床经验以及良好的学术记录。拟议项目和培训补助金中提供的培训和指导机会对于申请人发展成为独立和富有成效的临床科学家至关重要。
