This study examined gender differences in responses to sexual coercive experiences in mixed-sex (male-female) relationships. Participants were 112 women and 28 men who had experienced sexual coercion and completed measures of cognitive (attributions to self, attributions to the coercer, internal attributions) and affective (guilt, shame) self-blame, trauma symptoms, and upset at the time of the incident) with respect to their most serious or upsetting sexually coercive experience. The women were more upset than were the men at the time of the incident. Contrary to predictions, the men and women did not differ in the extent to which they attributed blame to themselves or the strength of their internal attributions, guilt, or shame. Both the men and women attributed more blame to the coercer than to themselves; however, the women attributed more blame to the coercer than did the men. The women reported more trauma symptoms than the men did which was related to the finding that more women than men had experienced sexual coercion involving physical force. These results are discussed in terms of the similarities and differences between men's and women's cognitive and affective responses to sexual coercion.
本研究考察了混合性别(男-女)关系中对性胁迫经历的反应中的性别差异。参与者包括 112 名女性和 28 名男性,他们经历过性胁迫,并完成了关于认知(自我归因、施害者归因、内部归因)和情感(内疚、羞耻)自责、创伤症状和事件发生时的不安)的测量,这些测量是针对他们最严重或最令人不安的性胁迫经历。女性在事件发生时比男性更不安。与预测相反,男性和女性在自我归因和内部归因的程度、内疚或羞耻感方面没有差异。男性和女性都将更多的责任归咎于施害者而不是自己;然而,女性将更多的责任归咎于施害者,而不是男性。与男性相比,女性报告的创伤症状更多,这与更多女性经历过涉及身体暴力的性胁迫的发现有关。这些结果在男性和女性对性胁迫的认知和情感反应的异同方面进行了讨论。
