Examining the Measurement Invariance of the Revised Sociosexual Orientation Inventory Among Hispanic and Non-Hispanic White College Women in the U.S
The Association Between a History of Sexual Violence and Romantic Relationship Functioning
The consequences of sexual violence are substantial and include both intra- and interpersonal problems. Notably, sexual violence has been associated with difficulties in interpersonal relationships including intimate relationships. While there have been prior reviews considering various interpersonal and dyadic consequences associated with sexual violence, there has not been a comprehensive review considering the various aspects of adult dyadic f…
Assessing College Women’s Perception of Putative Risk for Being Sexually Victimized by a Man
Prior Sexual Relationship, Gender and Sexual Attitudes Affect the Believability of a Hypothetical Sexual Assault Vignette
Latent Profile Analysis of Alcohol Consumption and Sexual Attitudes Among College Women
This study used latent profile analysis (LPA) to identify at-risk profiles of college freshman women ( n = 481) using self-reports of alcohol consumption and sociosexuality. Analyses resulted in three profiles labeled low alcohol use-low sociosexuality, high alcohol use-medium sociosexuality, and high alcohol use-high sociosexuality. Baseline victimization predicted latent profile membership. More severely victimized women were more likely to be …
Cognitive processes underlying the self-other perspective in women's judgments of sexual victimization risk
This study examined the cognitive processes underlying self-other differences in women's judgments of sexual victimization risk, as well as individual difference factors associated with those processes. Participants were 518 undergraduate women between the ages of 18 and 24. The majority of the women were either White (47.5%) or Hispanic (31.9%). Stimuli were 81 vignettes depicting social situations varying in degree of sexual victimization risk …
Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Multiple Treatment Targets
Risky Sex in High-Risk Adolescents
A Qualitative Analysis of the Effects of Victimization History and Sexual Attitudes on Women’s Hypothetical Sexual Assault Scripts
This study examined qualitatively the effects of a sexual victimization history and sexual attitudes on 247 undergraduate women's written accounts of a hypothetical sexual assault. More severe victimization history was associated with script characteristics of greater alcohol use, knowing the man longer, and the context of a party. Greater endorsement of positive attitudes toward casual sex was related to script characteristics of greater alcohol…
Ethnicity and Sexual Attitudes Affect Women’s Judgments of Sexual Victimization Risk
This study evaluated the effects of ethnicity, sexual attitudes, and sexual victimization history on women's judgments of sexual victimization risk in a set of dating and social scenarios. An ethnically diverse sample of undergraduate women ( n = 408) were asked to rate how risky the situations were in terms of having an unwanted sexual experience. American Indian women rated the situations as more risky than did non-Hispanic White or Hispanic wo…
Do Some Students Need Special Protection From Research on Sex and Trauma? New Evidence for Young Adult Resilience in “Sensitive Topics” Research
Institutional review boards (IRBs) have expressed concerns that certain individuals or groups, such as participants who are younger, ethnic minorities, or who have certain psychological or personality traits, may be particularly distressed when participating in "sensitive topics" research. This study examined the effects of several demographic and individual difference factors (i.e., age, sex, ethnicity, religiosity, Big Five personality traits, …
Using Cognitive Theory and Methodology to Inform the Study of Sexual Victimization
Sexual victimization is a prevalent problem among college-aged women. In order to investigate the mechanisms underlying sexual victimization, researchers have focused on the role of cognitive processes such as perception of sexual victimization risk, positing that difficulties with risk perception heighten women’s risk for victimization. However, researchers generally have not conceptualized risk perception in the context of a comprehensive cogni…
Predictors of Sexual Coercion and Alcohol Use Among Female Juvenile Offenders
The Effects of Male Attractiveness and Sexual Attitudes on Women’s Risk Perception
This study examined the effects of male attractiveness, sexual attitudes, and victimization history on women's ratings of sexual risk. Women with more liberal sexual attitudes rated vignettes as less sexually risky than women with more conservative sexual attitudes. There was an interaction between situational risk and attractiveness, suggesting the relationship between attractiveness and sexual risk ratings varies across high and low situational…
A Qualitative Analysis of Sexual Victimization Narratives
The current study examined qualitatively 78 sexual victimization narratives to (a) investigate variability within Sexual Experiences Survey (SES) categories to determine whether these events shared contextual features, (b) investigate variability between SES categories to determine whether these events were contextually distinct, and (c) identify emerging contextual features of victimization experiences. Results revealed considerable variation in…
Coping mediates the relationship between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and alcohol use in homeless, ethnically diverse women
Homeless women are at increased risk for problematic alcohol use and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). While coping motives have been shown to mediate the relationship between PTSD symptoms and alcohol problems in victims of sexual assault and domestic violence, it is unknown whether this relationship is evident in other trauma-exposed populations. The focus of this study was to examine whether drinking to cope mediated the relationship betwe…
Comparison of posttraumatic stress disorder symptom structure models in Hispanic and White college students
An Evaluation of a Mixed-Gender Sexual Assault Prevention Program
Self-Other Perspective and Sexual Attitudes Affect Estimates of Sexual Risk
Factors Affecting Women's Verbal Immediacy to Sexually Risky Situations
The current study used a word count measure of verbal immediacy to analyze undergraduate women's responses to a set of written vignettes describing hypothetical situations involving sexual risk. Several influences on verbal immediacy were examined, including severity of previous victimization, sexual-risk proximity, relationship intimacy, and response effectiveness. Results revealed that women with a more severe history of victimization evidenced…
