Abstract

Sexual violence among adolescents represents a significant problem in society. In this study, we aimed to examine risk factors for sexual violence perpetration in adolescent men and victimization in adolescent women among a community sample of Norwegian high school students. The participants (560 men and 751 women, aged between 16 and 21 years) responded to online questionnaires covering physical and non‐physical forms of sexual harassment and possible risk factors identified in the literature. Last year's prevalence rate of physical sexual perpetration reported by adolescent men was 7%. Comparably, the prevalence of physical sexual victimization reported by adolescent women was 30%. Path analyses suggest that sociosexuality was associated with adolescent men's sexual perpetration indirectly through sexual risk taking, alcohol intoxication, porn exposure, and sexual underperception that in turn was positively associated with undesirable non‐physical solicitation from and toward women. In addition, rape stereotypes were associated with perpetration behavior in adolescent men. For adolescent women, sociosexuality was associated with being sexually victimized primarily through sexual risk behavior, alcohol intoxication, and sexual overperception. These factors were again positively associated with sexual derogation from adolescent women and solicitation from adolescent men. Prior sexual abuse victimization was only indirectly associated with victimization. The factors associated with adolescent men's perpetration and adolescent women's victimization were highly similar. Future work aimed at reducing sexual violence in adolescence within the educational context might find it more effective to specifically target non‐physical forms of sexual harassment.

青少年中性暴力实施和受害的风险因素：对挪威高中生的研究

青少年性暴力是一个严重的社会问题。在这项研究中，我们以挪威高中生为社区样本，旨在研究青少年男性遭受性暴力侵害和青少年女性遭受性暴力侵害的风险因素。参与者（560名男性和751名女性，年龄在16至21岁之间）回答了网上问卷，问卷内容包括身体和非身体形式的性骚扰以及文献中指出的可能风险因素。去年，青少年男性报告的身体性侵犯发生率为 7%。相比之下，青少年女性报告的身体性侵害发生率为 30%。路径分析表明，社会性倾向通过性冒险、酒精中毒、色情接触和性认知不足与青少年男性的性侵犯行为间接相关，而这又与来自或针对女性的不良非身体诱惑正相关。此外，对强奸的刻板印象也与青少年男性的强奸行为有关。对于青少年女性来说，社会性别主要通过性冒险行为、酒精中毒和性过度感知与性受害相关。这些因素又与青少年女性的性贬损和青少年男性的性引诱呈正相关。之前的性虐待受害情况与受害情况只有间接关系。与青少年男性施暴和青少年女性受害相关的因素非常相似。未来旨在减少教育背景下青少年性暴力的工作可能会发现，专门针对非身体形式的性骚扰更为有效。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
