Data from male participants in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health are used to examine childhood predictors of late adolescent and early adulthood sexually coercive behavior and adolescent mediators of these relationships. A path analysis shows that experiencing sexual abuse as a child has a direct effect on perpetrating subsequent coercion that is partially mediated by early sexual initiation. Involvement in delinquent activities in adolescence was the only additional significant predictor of sexually coercive behavior and completely mediated the relationship between physical abuse in childhood and later sexual coercion. Of note, more than half of men reporting sexually aggressive acts had no history of childhood victimization, so pathways to sexually coercive behavior for this group remain unidentified. In addition to the universal prevention approaches currently in use in the field, these findings suggest that targeted prevention programs need to be formulated for youth with histories of childhood sexual or physical abuse.
来自全国青少年健康纵向研究中男性参与者的数据，被用于检验青少年晚期和成年早期性强迫行为的童年预测因素以及这些关系中的青少年中介因素。一项路径分析表明，童年时期遭受性虐待对随后实施强迫行为有直接影响，这种影响部分由过早开始性行为介导。青少年参与违法活动是性强迫行为的唯一另外一个显著预测因素，并且完全介导了童年时期身体虐待与后来性强迫行为之间的关系。值得注意的是，超过一半报告有性侵犯行为的男性没有童年受害史，因此该群体性强迫行为的途径仍不明晰。除了该领域目前正在使用的普遍预防方法外，这些发现表明，需要为有童年性虐待或身体虐待史的青少年制定有针对性的预防方案。
