Abstract

Studies suggest that actively fighting back against an attacker is effective in decreasing the severity and completion of a sexual assault, yet little is known about the factors that contribute to women's confidence in fighting back. Accordingly, the present study examines correlates of college women's self-efficacy in resisting unwanted sexual advances (N = 650). Results suggest that fewer psychological barriers to resistance, greater sexual communication, increased use of dating self-protective behaviors, and greater sexual assertiveness were associated with increased sexual resistance self-efficacy. Findings underscore the importance of developing sexual assault prevention programs that increase women's confidence in fighting back.

大学女生抵御性侵犯自我效能感的相关因素》(Correlates of College Women's Sexual Assault Resistance Self-Efficacy.
研究表明,积极反击攻击者能有效降低性侵犯的严重程度和完成程度,但人们对导致女性反击信心的因素却知之甚少。因此,本研究探讨了女大学生在抵制不受欢迎的性挑逗时的自我效能感的相关因素(N = 650)。结果表明,较少的抵制心理障碍、更多的性交流、更多使用约会自我保护行为和更强的性自信与性抵制自我效能感的提高有关。研究结果强调了制定能增强女性反抗信心的性侵犯预防计划的重要性。
