The primary aim of the current study was to examine the prevalence and correlates of self-reported sexual assault (SA) perpetration, defined as nonconsensual sexualized touching or attempted or completed oral, vaginal, or anal penetration since starting college among men, women, and gender nonconforming (GNC) students. A secondary aim was to examine the prevalence and correlates of self-reported sexual encounters when the respondent was unsure that their partner consented (ambiguous consent). In spring 2016, 1,671 randomly sampled students (67% response rate) at two interconnected urban undergraduate institutions participated in an online survey about sexual experiences and personal and social contextual correlates. Prevalence estimates for SA perpetration and ambiguous consent were estimated and logistic regression was used to test bivariate associations between these two outcomes and a range of potential correlates. Approximately 2% of students self-reported any SA perpetration and 9% reported any ambiguous consent experiences since starting college. Pre-college SA perpetration, past-year SA victimization, belief in and use of nonverbal consent strategies, binge drinking, and depression symptoms were associated with higher odds of both SA perpetration and ambiguous consent while at college. Hookups were associated with higher odds of ambiguous consent; family social support was associated with lower odds of ambiguous consent. Findings of similar correlates for SA perpetration and ambiguous consent point to prevention programming focused on verbal consent strategies, alcohol harm reduction approaches, and pre-college interventions.
本研究的主要目的是调查自大学开始以来，男性、女性和性别不一致（GNC）学生中自我报告的性侵犯（SA）行为的发生率和相关因素，定义为非自愿的性化触摸或试图或完成口交、阴道或肛门插入。次要目的是调查当被调查者不确定其伴侣是否同意时（模糊同意）自我报告的性遭遇的发生率和相关因素。2016 年春季，两所相互关联的城市本科院校随机抽取了 1671 名学生（67%的回应率）参与了一项关于性经历以及个人和社会背景相关因素的在线调查。估计了 SA 行为和模糊同意的发生率，并使用逻辑回归检验了这两个结果与一系列潜在相关因素之间的双变量关联。大约 2%的学生自我报告有任何 SA 行为，9%的学生报告有任何模糊同意的经历，这是自大学开始以来的经历。大学前的 SA 行为、过去一年的 SA 受害、对非言语同意策略的信念和使用、狂饮和抑郁症状与更高的 SA 行为和模糊同意的可能性相关，而性发生与更高的模糊同意的可能性相关；家庭社会支持与较低的模糊同意的可能性相关。SA 行为和模糊同意的相似相关因素的发现表明，预防计划应侧重于口头同意策略、减少酒精危害的方法以及大学前干预。
