The sexual coercion literature has suggested numerous factors related to aggressive sexual behavior. The present investigation explores a number of these factors in a community sample. Data collected from 189 volunteers from the community included measures of sexual arousal, social perception, personality variables, attitudes toward women, and self-reported likelihood to rape. Multiple-regression analyses were used to determine the relative association of these factors to coercive sexual behavior. The present findings suggested that social perception, Extraversion and Neuroticism from the Eysenck Personality Inventory, sexual arousal, and self-reported likelihood to rape all contributed to the multiple regression. Rape Myth Acceptance, although not contributing significantly to the multiple regression, did show a significant zero-order correlation with coercive sexual behavior. Additional analyses were performed in an attempt to replicate an earlier predictive study by Malamuth and Check (1983) that found self-reported sexual arousal to be predicted by a combination of self-reported likelihood to rape, Psychoticism and Neuroticism from the Eysenck Personality Inventory, power motivation, and sexual experience. In the present study, both self-reported sexual arousal and penile tumescence measures were significantly related to attitudinal measures, social perception measures, and self-reported likelihood to rape. Limitations of the present study and suggestions for future research are discussed.
性胁迫文献提出了许多与攻击性性行为相关的因素。本调查在一个社区样本中探究了其中一些因素。从189名社区志愿者收集的数据包括性唤起、社会认知、人格变量、对女性的态度以及自我报告的强奸可能性等测量指标。多元回归分析用于确定这些因素与强制性性行为的相对关联。目前的研究结果表明，社会认知、艾森克人格问卷中的外向性和神经质、性唤起以及自我报告的强奸可能性都对多元回归有贡献。虽然强奸谬见接受度对多元回归没有显著贡献，但它与强制性性行为确实呈现出显著的零阶相关性。进行了额外的分析，试图复制马拉穆特和切克（1983年）早期的一项预测性研究，该研究发现自我报告的性唤起可由自我报告的强奸可能性、艾森克人格问卷中的精神质和神经质、权力动机以及性经验的组合来预测。在本研究中，自我报告的性唤起和阴茎勃起测量指标均与态度测量指标、社会认知测量指标以及自我报告的强奸可能性显著相关。讨论了本研究的局限性以及对未来研究的建议。
