According to recent statistics, as many as one in five female college students are victims of sexual assault during their college career. To combat what has been called the "Campus Rape Crisis," researchers have attempted to understand what variables are associated with sexually coercive behaviors in college males. Although investigators have found support for the relationship between pornography consumption and sexually coercive behavior, researchers typically operationalize pornography use in terms of frequency of use. Furthermore, frequency of use has been assessed vaguely and inconsistently. The current study offered a more concrete assessment of frequency of use and an additional variable not yet included for pornography use: number of modalities. Beyond examining the relationship between pornography use and sexual coercion likelihood, the current study was the first to use pornography variables in a threshold analysis to test whether there is a cut point that is predictive of sexual coercion likelihood. Analyses were conducted with a sample of 463 college males. Results indicated that both pornography use variables were significantly related to a higher likelihood of sexually coercive behaviors. When both frequency of use and number of modalities were included in the model, modalities were significant and frequency was not. In addition, significant thresholds for both pornography variables that predicted sexual coercion likelihood were identified. These results imply that factors other than frequency of use, such as number of modalities, may be more important for the prediction of sexual coercive behaviors. Furthermore, threshold analyses revealed the most significant increase in risk occurred between one modality and two, indicating that it is not pornography use in general that is related to sexual coercion likelihood, but rather, specific aspects of pornography use.
根据最近的统计数据，多达五分之一的女大学生在大学期间遭受过性侵犯。为了应对所谓的“校园强奸危机”，研究人员试图了解哪些变量与大学生中具有性强迫行为有关。尽管调查人员已经发现了色情制品消费与性强迫行为之间的关系，但研究人员通常根据使用频率来操作色情制品的使用。此外，使用频率的评估模糊且不一致。本研究提供了更具体的使用频率评估和尚未包含在色情制品使用中的另一个变量：模式数量。除了检查色情制品使用与性胁迫可能性之间的关系外，本研究还是第一个在阈值分析中使用色情制品变量来测试是否存在预测性胁迫可能性的切点。分析是在 463 名大学生样本中进行的。结果表明，两种色情制品使用变量都与更高的性强迫行为可能性显著相关。当使用频率和模式数量都包含在模型中时，模式数量是显著的，而使用频率则不显著。此外，还确定了预测性胁迫可能性的两个色情制品变量的显著阈值。这些结果表明，除了使用频率之外，其他因素，如模式数量，可能对性强迫行为的预测更为重要。此外，阈值分析显示，风险增加最显著的是在一种模式和两种模式之间，这表明与性胁迫可能性相关的不是一般的色情制品使用，而是特定方面的色情制品使用。
