Despite efforts on some college campuses to address the issue of sexual victimization, the numbers have not changed much over the last four decades. The purpose of this study is to examine how demographic, contextual, and behavioral factors influence sexual victimization on college campuses. Using data from the Fall 2011 National College Health Assessment/American College Health Association survey, we examine three hypotheses: (1) contextual factors will have a greater effect on the likelihood of victimization than behavioral factors; (2) demographic factors will have a greater effect on the likelihood of victimization than behavioral factors; and (3) contextual factors for men will have a greater effect than contextual factors for women. While previous studies have tackled portions of these larger objectives, few studies have focused on all three sets of factors of analysis simultaneously. Overall, we find that behavioral factors predict sexual victimization better than either demographic or contextual factors for both men and women. However, we also find that some contextual factors are significant, including variables not generally discussed in the literature, such as perception of typical student behaviors and dissemination of violence prevention programming and information. In addition, we add to the literature by showing how demographic, behavioral, and contextual factors of sexual victimization vary in significance for men and women. These findings support the calls for more sexual violence prevention programming on college campuses that is more intersectional and addresses the issue of sexual violence based on the knowledge we have gained about individual, interactional, and institutional factors that contribute to this problem.
尽管一些大学校园已经在努力解决性受害问题，但在过去的四十年里，这个问题的数量并没有太大变化。本研究的目的是探讨人口统计学、情境和行为因素如何影响大学校园中的性受害。我们使用了 2011 年秋季全国大学生健康评估/美国大学生健康协会调查的数据，检验了三个假设：（1）情境因素对受害可能性的影响将大于行为因素；（2）人口统计学因素对受害可能性的影响将大于行为因素；（3）男性的情境因素对受害可能性的影响将大于女性的情境因素。虽然之前的研究已经涉及了这些更大目标的部分内容，但很少有研究同时关注这三组分析因素。总的来说，我们发现，对于男性和女性，行为因素比人口统计学或情境因素更能预测性受害。然而，我们也发现一些情境因素很重要，包括文献中通常不讨论的变量，如对典型学生行为的看法以及暴力预防计划和信息的传播。此外，我们通过展示性受害的人口统计学、行为和情境因素对男性和女性的重要性差异，为文献做出了贡献。这些发现支持了在大学校园开展更多交叉性的性暴力预防计划的呼吁，这些计划应根据我们对导致这一问题的个人、互动和制度因素的了解，基于这一问题开展工作。
