College students engage in consensual sexual activity after consuming alcohol, perhaps because they feel confident to do so. However, students feel confident consenting to sex after consuming alcohol is unclear. We conducted a mixed-method evaluation of students' confidence consenting to sex after consuming alcohol; we examined individual (gender, relationship status, Greek life, alcohol and sex expectancies) and contextual (drinking behaviors) factors' association with confidence to consent to sex. We then qualitatively examined students felt confident.
232 college students completed a survey assessing alcohol and sexual activity.
Gender, Greek life involvement, and drinking behaviors were related to confidence to consent; open-ended responses suggested students had their own norms for combining consent and alcohol.
Students were confident consenting to sex after consuming alcohol. Sexual assault prevention educators may consider focusing on misunderstandings surrounding alcohol's effects on people's ability to consent.
大学生在饮酒后会发生自愿性行为，可能是因为他们觉得自己有信心这样做。然而，学生在饮酒后自信地表示同意发生性行为的情况并不清楚。我们对学生在饮酒后发生性行为时的自信程度进行了混合方法评估；我们研究了个体（性别、关系状况、希腊生活、酒精和性期望）和情境（饮酒行为）因素与同意发生性行为的自信之间的关系。然后，我们对学生感到自信的原因进行了定性分析。
232 名大学生完成了一项评估饮酒和性行为的调查。
性别、希腊生活的参与度以及饮酒行为与自信相关；开放式回答表明学生对将同意和酒精结合在一起有自己的规范。
学生在饮酒后对发生性行为有信心。性侵犯预防教育者可能需要考虑关注人们对酒精影响其同意能力的误解。
