: This study examined if empathy was a significant moderator of several empirically established risk factors for sexual violence perpetration among college men. : Data are from 544 college men who participated in a longitudinal study from 2008 to 2011 at a large, public university. Participants completed a self-report survey in their first through fourth years in college. A series of generalized linear models were conducted using sexual violence risk factors and empathy during the sophomore year as predictors of sexual violence perpetration frequency during junior year. Empathy was found to be a significant moderator of six out of the 10 sexual violence risk factors tested, such that high levels of empathy were associated with lower sexual violence perpetration rates among high-risk males. Additional research, including the measurement and evaluation of empathy in implementation of college sexual violence prevention and intervention efforts, should be undertaken.
: 本研究考察了同理心是否是大学生男性实施性暴力的几个经验性确立的风险因素的重要调节因素。 : 数据来自于 2008 年至 2011 年期间在一所大型公立大学参加纵向研究的 544 名男大学生。 参与者在大学的第一年至第四年期间完成了一份自我报告调查。 采用一系列广义线性模型,以大二时的性暴力风险因素和同理心作为大三时性暴力实施频率的预测因子。 同理心被发现是 10 个性暴力风险因素中的 6 个的显著调节因素,即高同理心与高风险男性中的较低性暴力实施率相关。 应开展更多的研究,包括在实施大学性暴力预防和干预工作中对同理心进行测量和评估。
