Men's Alcohol Use and Perpetration of Sexual Aggression

描述(由申请者提供)：大学生的性侵害和性侵犯率仍然高得令人不安。在这些事件中，酒精占很大比例，大量饮酒模式与受害和犯罪行为都有关。关于酒精和性侵犯的许多已知知识都是基于对女性受害者的研究。到目前为止，只有少量的自然主义研究考虑了男性饮酒对性侵犯行为的影响。有两项针对男性的研究被提出，以解决这一差距。首先，使用大学一年级男生(N=1700)的样本，我们将检验男性饮酒是否预示着未来两年大学期间的性侵犯行为。接下来，使用一个子样本(N=200)，我们将在8周内考虑饮酒和性侵犯行为之间的日常或暂时关系。我们假设酒精与性侵犯的关系受到几个个体差异变量的影响，如与性有关的酒精预期、对女性的敌意和行为自控力。这些主持人将被考虑在远端，预期水平和近端，每日水平。这些研究的发现将通过创新的方法，为酒精在男性性侵行为中的作用提供重要的新知识。此外，这一发现有助于制定针对男性饮酒的有效的性攻击预防计划。 与公共健康相关：关于酒精和性侵犯行为的许多已知信息都是基于对女性受害者的研究，很少有自然主义的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，以考察男性饮酒对其性侵行为的远端和近端影响。研究结果有助于制定针对男性饮酒的有效的性攻击预防计划。

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.
