Abstract

A small but growing number of studies have begun testing the core propositions of target congruence theory. While these studies have provided modest support, no study to date has applied it to victimization experienced by Latinas. This is somewhat surprising, given that some of the theory’s theoretical constructs may be especially pertinent to this study population. Using data collected from the Sexual Assault Among Latinas (SALAS) study, results from logistic regression analyses showed that a target’s vulnerability, gratifiability, and antagonism modestly predicted victimization. Specifically, Latinas high in Latino orientation reported lower victimization, whereas Latinas high in masculinity traits were more likely to report victimization, while measures that captured antagonism, such as anger, were also found to be significant.
拉丁美洲人受害现象的解释——对目标同余理论的检验
少量但越来越多的研究已经开始测试目标一致性理论的核心命题。虽然这些研究提供了适度的支持,但迄今为止没有任何研究将其应用于拉丁裔的受害情况。这有点令人惊讶,因为该理论的一些理论结构可能与该研究人群特别相关。使用从拉丁美洲人性侵(SALAS)研究中收集的数据,逻辑回归分析的结果表明,目标的脆弱性、可满足性和对抗性适度地预测了受害情况。具体而言,拉丁裔倾向较高的拉丁裔人报告的受害程度较低,而男性特征较高的拉丁裔人更有可能报告受害情况,而捕捉敌对情绪(如愤怒)的措施也被发现是重要的。
