Compared to US university students, far less is known about the scale of unwanted and non-consensual sexual experiences [USEs] faced by UK university students, particularly those in Northern Ireland [NI]. The Sexual Experiences Survey (Short Form [SEF-SFV]) is considered a popular tool for measuring USEs but has not been updated since 2007; there is some indication that additional perpetrator tactics may be more inclusive of students' experiences and that certain scoring strategies may impact our understanding of data. This paper examines the USEs reported by 1033 students attending either of NI's traditional universities. Participants completed a modified version of the SES-SFV that included two additional perpetration tactics: "ignorance of refusal" and "taken by surprise." Sixty-three percent ( = 650) reported experiencing at least one USE, but this reduced to 53% ( = 546) without the new perpetrator tactics. Female and non-heterosexual students reported significantly more USEs than male and heterosexual students, respectively. "Taken by surprise" was highly endorsed (81%, = 525) and the most commonly endorsed tactic. Whilst dichotomous scoring is the most straightforward, continuous scoring affords greater analytical opportunities whilst still retaining frequency of USEs. "Taken by surprise" may be a relevant addition but further mixed-methodological research is required to assess its validity among larger and more diverse samples. SES-SFV scoring options should be also validated using male and mixed-gender samples, particularly categorical scoring to ensure current construction is reflective of the wider student experience.
与美国大学生相比，我们对英国大学生，尤其是北爱尔兰大学生所面临的非自愿和未经同意的性经历的规模了解要少得多。性经历调查（简表[SEF-SFV]）被认为是衡量性经历的常用工具，但自2007年以来一直未更新；有迹象表明，更多的犯罪策略可能更能涵盖学生的经历，并且某些评分策略可能会影响我们对数据的理解。本文研究了北爱尔兰两所传统大学的1033名学生所报告的性经历。参与者完成了SES-SFV的修改版，其中包括两种额外的犯罪策略：“无视拒绝”和“措手不及”。63%（n = 650）的学生报告至少经历过一次性经历，但如果不包括新的犯罪策略，这一比例降至53%（n = 546）。女性和非异性恋学生报告的性经历分别明显多于男性和异性恋学生。“措手不及”得到了高度认可（81%，n = 525），是最常被认可的策略。虽然二分法评分是最直接的，但连续评分提供了更多的分析机会，同时仍保留了性经历的频率。“措手不及”可能是一个相关的补充，但需要进一步的混合方法研究来评估其在更大、更多样化样本中的有效性。SES-SFV评分选项也应该使用男性和混合性别的样本进行验证，特别是分类评分，以确保当前的结构能够反映更广泛的学生经历。
