Men's Alcohol Use and Perpetration of Sexual Aggression

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。在这些事件中，酒精占很大比例，大量饮酒的模式与受害和犯罪有关。关于酒精和性侵犯的大部分知识都是基于对女性受害者的研究。迄今为止，只有数量有限的自然主义研究考虑了男性饮酒对性侵犯的影响。建议对男子进行两项研究，以解决这一差距。首先，使用大学新生男性（N = 1700）的样本，我们将研究男性的酒精消费是否前瞻性地预测在未来两年的大学性侵犯犯罪。接下来，使用子样本（N = 200），我们将考虑8周内饮酒和性侵犯行为之间的每日或时间关系。我们假设酒精-性侵犯的关系受到几个个体差异变量的调节，如与性相关的酒精预期、对女性的敌意和行为自我控制。将在远端前瞻性水平和近端日常水平上考虑这些主持人。这些研究的结果将使用创新方法，提供关于酒精在男子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性侵犯预防计划。

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.
