Computer-assisted self-interviews were completed with a random sample of 163 unmarried Caucasian and African American men in a large metropolitan area. Almost a quarter (24.5%) of these men acknowledged committing an act since the age of 14 that met standard legal definitions of attempted or completed rape; an additional 39% had committed another type of sexual assault involving forced sexual contact or verbal coercion. An expanded version of the Malamuth et al. [1991] confluence model was examined using path analysis. The number of sexual assaults perpetrated by participants was associated with the direct or indirect effects of childhood sexual abuse, adolescent delinquency, alcohol problems, sexual dominance, positive attitudes about casual sexual relationships, and pressure from peers to engage in sexual relationships. Additionally, empathy buffered the relationship between sexual dominance and perpetration. The pattern of results was highly similar for African American and Caucasian men. The implications of these findings for sexual assault measurement are discussed and suggestions are made for alternative treatment programs.
在一个大都市地区，对163名未婚的白人和非裔美国男性进行了随机抽样，完成了计算机辅助的自我访谈。这些男性中近四分之一（24.5%）承认自14岁以来实施了符合未遂或既遂强奸的标准法律定义的行为；另外39%实施了另一种性侵犯，包括强迫性接触或言语胁迫。使用路径分析检验了Malamuth等人[1991]融合模型的扩展版本。参与者实施性侵犯的次数与童年性虐待、青少年犯罪、酒精问题、性支配、对随意性关系的积极态度以及来自同伴的性交往压力的直接或间接影响有关。此外，同理心缓冲了性支配与犯罪之间的关系。非裔美国男性和白人男性的结果模式高度相似。讨论了这些发现对性侵犯测量的意义，并对替代治疗方案提出了建议。
