Despite the increased attention devoted to sexual aggression among college students in the international research literature, Brazil has no systematic studies on the prevalence of sexual aggression in college populations. The present research measured the prevalence of sexual aggression and victimization since age 14 among 742 first-year college students in Brazil (411 women). A Portuguese version of the Short Form of the Sexual Experiences Survey (Koss et al., 2007 ) was administered to collect information from men and women as both victims and perpetrators of sexual aggression. The overall prevalence rate of victimization was 27% among men and 29% among women. Except for sexual coercion and attempted sexual coercion, there were no significant gender differences in victimization rates concerning nonconsensual sexual acts and aggressive strategies. In contrast, perpetration rates were significantly higher among men (33.7%) than among women (3%). The findings challenge societal beliefs that men are unlikely to be sexually coerced. Explanations are proposed for the disparity between male victimization and female perpetration rates based on traditional gender roles in Brazil.
尽管国际研究文献越来越关注大学生中的性侵犯问题，但巴西尚未对大学生群体中的性侵犯发生率进行系统研究。本研究调查了巴西 742 名大一学生（411 名女性）自 14 岁以来的性侵犯和受害发生率。采用 Koss 等人（2007 年）编制的性经历简短量表（Short Form of the Sexual Experiences Survey）的葡萄牙语版本，收集来自男性和女性作为性侵犯受害者和加害者的信息。男性的受害发生率为 27%，女性为 29%。除了性胁迫和性侵犯未遂外，在非自愿性行为和侵犯策略方面，受害率在性别间没有显著差异。相比之下，男性的加害率（33.7%）明显高于女性（3%）。这些发现挑战了社会上认为男性不太可能受到性胁迫的观念。基于巴西传统的性别角色，提出了对男性受害率和女性加害率差异的解释。
