There are startling rates of sexual coercion across college campuses, underscoring the importance of identifying risk factors and intervening early to prevent perpetration of these unwanted sexual events. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of impulsivity, sensation seeking, and alcohol use on the odds of perpetrating unwanted sexual advances (i.e., forced fondling, kissing, or petting) and sexual coercion (i.e., sexual intercourse through arguments, pressure, or physical force) during the subsequent 6 years. Male participants ( = 901) were part of a 6-year longitudinal study, which explored alcohol use and associated behavioral risks throughout emerging adulthood. Participants provided self-reported surveys across 6 years, starting the summer before their start of college. Using logistic regression models, these analyses examined the main effects and interactions of impulsivity, sensation seeking, and alcohol use, measured during the summer before the start of college, on the odds of perpetrating one or multiple instances of unwanted sexual advances and sexual coercion across the subsequent 6 years. Results indicated that higher levels of sensation seeking and heavier drinking on drinking days during high school contributed to greater odds of being a one-time perpetrator of unwanted sexual advances during the next 6 years. Conversely, impulsivity, but not alcohol use, was associated with greater risk of perpetrating multiple instances of both unwanted sexual advances and sexual coercion. Alcohol use did not significantly moderate the influence of personality on perpetration. These results underscore the importance of early intervention and using impulsivity and sensation seeking to tailor current prevention efforts to decrease the likelihood of sexual coercion perpetration during college.
大学校园中性胁迫的发生率惊人，这凸显了识别风险因素并尽早进行干预以防止此类 unwanted sexual events（此处可能表述有误，应为“不良性事件”）发生的重要性。本研究的目的是检验冲动性、寻求刺激和饮酒对在随后6年中实施 unwanted sexual advances（即强迫抚摸、亲吻或亲昵举动）和性胁迫（即通过争吵、施压或暴力进行性交）几率的影响。男性参与者（n = 901）是一项为期6年的纵向研究的一部分，该研究探索了整个成年早期的饮酒情况及相关行为风险。参与者从大学入学前的那个夏天开始，在6年时间里提供自我报告调查。使用逻辑回归模型，这些分析检验了在大学入学前那个夏天测量的冲动性、寻求刺激和饮酒的主效应及相互作用，对在随后6年中实施一次或多次 unwanted sexual advances 和性胁迫几率的影响。结果表明，高中时期更高的寻求刺激水平以及饮酒日的大量饮酒，会增加在接下来6年中成为一次性 unwanted sexual advances 实施者的几率。相反，冲动性而非饮酒，与实施多次 unwanted sexual advances 和性胁迫的更高风险相关。饮酒并未显著调节人格对犯罪行为的影响。这些结果强调了早期干预以及利用冲动性和寻求刺激来调整当前预防措施以降低大学期间性胁迫发生率的重要性。
