  • Dating Aggression, Sexual Coercion, and Aggression-Supporting Attitudes Among College Men as a Function of Participation in Aggressive High School Sports

    Open AccessGordon B Forbes, Leah E Adams‐Curtis et al.ARTICLEViolence Against Women2006Cited by: 23References: 13

    Aggressive male sports have been criticized as bastions of sexism and training grounds for aggression against women, but there have been few empirical demonstrations of these alleged relationships. The authors studied self-reported dating aggression and sexual coercion in 147 college men. Men who had participated in aggressive high school sports, as compared with other men, engaged in more psychological aggression, physical aggression, and sexual…

  • College Women’s Experiences of Sexual Coercion

    Open AccessLeah E Adams‐Curtis, Leah E Adams-Curtis et al.ARTICLETrauma Violence & Abuse2004

    The literature on college women’s experiences with sexual coercion is reviewed, with an emphasis on work published since 1990. Sexual coercion is defined as any situation in which one person uses verbal or physical means (including the administration of drugs or alcohol, with or without the other person’s consent) to obtain sexual activity against consent. We argue that coercive sexual behavior among college students can best be understood within…

  • A Brief, Reliable Measure of Negative Attitudes toward Atheists

    Open AccessEmily K Bloesch, EMILY BLOESCH et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports2004

    The development and factor structure of a brief, 5-item, measure of negative attitudes toward atheists is described with a sample of 176 college men and 231 college women. The single factor was reliable; the internal consistency was .83; and face validity was high. Although other forms of reliability and validity should be pursued, the scale appears to be suitable for research on negative attitudes toward atheists

  • First- and Second-Generation Measures of Sexism, Rape Myths and Related Beliefs, and Hostility Toward Women

    Open AccessGordon B Forbes, Leah E Adams‐Curtis et al.ARTICLEViolence Against Women2004Cited by: 22References: 14

    Sexist attitudes and rape-supporting beliefs have long been linked to relationship aggression and sexual coercion. This study investigates how recent developments in the conceptualization and measurement of these variables are related to each other and how they are related to aggressive and coercive behaviors. Second-generation measures of sexism and rape-supporting beliefs were found to be related to each other and to aggressive and sexually coe…

    Open AccessGordon B Forbes, Leah E Adams‐Curtis et al.ARTICLEPsychology of Women Quarterly2003Cited by: 4References: 7

    Perceptions of menstruating women were studied in a sample of 244, predominantly European American, college freshmen. Both women and men rated the menstruating woman, as compared with the average woman, as higher on the Neuroticism factor from Lippa's (1991 ) measure of the Big Five personality factors. Men also rated her as lower on the Openness, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness factors, and women rated her lower on the Extraversion factor. …

  • Growth and reproduction in captive tufted capuchins (Cebus apella)

    Open AccessDorothy M Fragaszy, Leah E Adams‐Curtis et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Primatology1998

    We present data on weight and reproduction from a colony of tufted capuchins monkeys (Cebus apella) over a 12 year period. The data constitute a normative record for this species. Weight at birth averages 210 g, and infants gain weight rapidly. Females typically first conceived just after their fifth birthday, and males were fertile by 4 years, 5 months. Interbirth intervals average 576 days. Eighty-seven percent of live-born infants survived pas…
