DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Rates of sexual victimization and perpetration among college students remain disturbingly high. Alcohol is present in a large proportion of these incidents and heavy drinking patterns have been associated with both victimization and perpetration. Much of what is known about alcohol and sexual aggression is based on studies of female victims. To date, a limited amount of naturalistic research has considered the impact of men's alcohol consumption on perpetration of sexual aggression. Two studies of men are proposed to address this gap. First, using a sample of college freshmen males (N = 1700) we will examine whether men's alcohol consumption prospectively predicts sexual aggression perpetration over the next two years of college. Next, using a subsample (N = 200), we will consider the daily or temporal relationship, over 8 weeks, between episodes of alcohol consumption and sexually aggressive behavior. We hypothesize that the alcohol-sexual aggression perpetration relationship is moderated by several individual differences variables, such as sex- related alcohol expectancies, hostility toward women, and behavioral self-control. These moderators will be considered both at the distal, prospective level and at the proximal, daily level. Findings from these studies will provide significant new knowledge about the role of alcohol in men's perpetration of sexual aggression, using innovative methods. Moreover, findings can aid in the development of efficacious sexual aggression prevention programs that target men's alcohol consumption. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Much of what is known about alcohol and sexual aggression perpetration is based on studies of female victims, with few naturalistic studies examining men's sexually aggressive behaviors. We propose a prospective study and a daily process study to examine both the distal and proximal effects of men's alcohol consumption on their perpetration of sexual aggression. Study findings can aid in the development of efficacious sexual aggression prevention programs that target men's alcohol consumption.

描述（由申请人提供）：大学生中的性受害和性犯罪率仍然高得令人不安。这些事件中很大一部分都存在酒精，并且大量饮酒模式与受害和犯罪有关。关于酒精和性侵犯的大部分了解都是基于对女性受害者的研究。迄今为止，有限的自然主义研究考虑了男性饮酒对实施性侵犯的影响。两项针对男性的研究旨在解决这一差距。首先，我们将使用大学新生男性样本（N = 1700）来研究男性的饮酒量是否可以预测未来两年大学期间的性侵犯行为。接下来，使用子样本 (N = 200)，我们将考虑 8 周内饮酒事件和性攻击行为之间的日常或时间关系。我们假设酒精与性侵犯之间的关系受到几个个体差异变量的调节，例如与性别相关的酒精预期、对女性的敌意和行为自我控制。这些调节因素将在远端、前瞻性层面和近端、日常层面进行考虑。这些研究的结果将通过创新方法，提供关于酒精在男性实施性侵犯中的作用的重要新知识。此外，研究结果可以帮助制定针对男性饮酒的有效的性侵犯预防计划。 公共卫生相关性：关于酒精和性侵犯行为的大部分了解都是基于对女性受害者的研究，很少有自然主义研究考察男性的性侵犯行为。我们提出了一项前瞻性研究和一项日常过程研究，以检查男性饮酒对其实施性侵犯的远端和近端影响。研究结果有助于制定针对男性饮酒的有效性侵犯预防计划。
