Bondage/discipline, dominance/submission, and sadism/masochism (BDSM) proclivity among college students is poorly characterized, in part because existing measures of BDSM proclivity highlight the consensual nature of BDSM and are appropriate for use with non-community members (e.g., those who may not understand BDSM jargon). The current study introduces such a measure, the BDSM Proclivity Scale, which characterizes BDSM proclivity among college students and evaluates relations of BDSM proclivity with other sexual attitudes and behaviors. College students (n = 552) completed measures of BDSM proclivity, sociosexual attitudes and behaviors, rape-supportive attitudes, lifetime sexual partners, and consent-seeking behavior. Two factors mapping onto attitudes and experiences related to BDSM were identified and cross-validated. Average endorsements of BDSM attitudes and experiences on a 7-point Likert scale (1 = strong disagreement, 7 = strong agreement) were 5.61 and 4.44, respectively. Structural models revealed that lifetime sexual contact and gender significantly positively correlated with BDSM attitudes and experiences, sociosexual attitudes positively correlated with BDSM attitudes, and rape-supportive attitudes positively correlated with BDSM experiences. Consent-seeking was unrelated to BDSM experiences or attitudes. College student BDSM proclivity was evident for both attitudes and experiences, highlighting the need to characterize the development of BDSM proclivity and its correlates, the sources of students' knowledge, and the nature of students' experiences. The observed associations between BDSM proclivity and relevant sexual attitudes and behaviors support its construct validity and suggest that BDSM proclivity may prove to be an important addition to the broader constructs assessed in sexual attitudinal and behavioral domains.
大学生的束缚/纪律、支配/服从和施虐/受虐（BDSM）倾向描述不足，部分原因是现有的 BDSM 倾向衡量标准突出了 BDSM 的共识性质，并且适用于非社区成员（例如，那些可能不理解 BDSM 行话的人）。本研究介绍了这样一种衡量标准，即 BDSM 倾向量表，它描述了大学生的 BDSM 倾向，并评估了 BDSM 倾向与其他性态度和行为的关系。大学生（n=552）完成了 BDSM 倾向、社会性行为态度和行为、强奸支持态度、终身性伴侣和寻求同意行为的衡量标准。确定并交叉验证了两个映射到与 BDSM 相关的态度和经验的因素。在 7 点李克特量表（1=强烈不同意，7=强烈同意）上对 BDSM 态度和经验的平均认可分别为 5.61 和 4.44。结构模型显示，终身性接触和性别与 BDSM 态度和经验呈显著正相关，社会性行为态度与 BDSM 态度呈正相关，强奸支持态度与 BDSM 经验呈正相关。寻求同意与 BDSM 经验或态度无关。大学生的 BDSM 倾向在态度和经验上都很明显，这突出了需要描述 BDSM 倾向的发展及其相关性、学生知识的来源以及学生体验的性质。观察到的 BDSM 倾向与相关性态度和行为之间的关联支持其结构有效性，并表明 BDSM 倾向可能被证明是性态度和行为领域中更广泛的构建评估的重要补充。
