Experiences of unwanted sexual attention (UWSA) are commonplace within nightlife environments. While typically associated with aggression perpetration, literature has suggested that a history of childhood corporal punishment (CCP) may also be related to experiences of victimisation in nightlife environments. The current exploratory study aims to examine the associations between experiences of UWSA victimisation and a history of CCP, trait aggression, and conformity to masculine norms (Playboy and Winning), for males and females separately.
Street intercept interviews in the Brisbane inner-city entertainment precincts were used to measure demographic details and participants' breath alcohol concentration. Online follow-up surveys were used to record participants' experiences of UWSA on the night of interview, history of CCP, and self-reported rates of trait aggression and conformity to masculine norms. The final sample consisted of 288 females, as there were not sufficient male UWSA experiences for analysis.
Approximately 20% of female nightlife patrons experienced some form of UWSA victimisation. Logistic regression analyses identified that after controlling for age and intoxication, a history of CCP, trait aggression and masculine norm conformity were unrelated to experiences of UWSA for female respondents.
The current study found that individual factors were unrelated to experiences of UWSA, indicating that simply being in the nightlife environment, especially as a female, increases the risk of UWSA victimisation. Understanding and exploring social and environmental risk factors, rather than individual factors, is needed to prevent victimisation in nightlife environments.
在夜生活环境中，人们普遍会经历到不必要的性关注（UWSA）。虽然通常与侵犯行为有关，但文献表明，童年时期的体罚（CCP）史也可能与夜生活环境中的受害经历有关。本探索性研究旨在分别检查女性和男性经历 UWSA 受害与 CCP 史、特质攻击性和符合男性规范（花花公子和胜利）之间的关联。
在布里斯班市中心娱乐区进行街头拦截访谈，以测量人口统计细节和参与者的呼吸酒精浓度。在线后续调查用于记录参与者在访谈当晚的 UWSA 经历、CCP 史以及自我报告的特质攻击性和符合男性规范的程度。由于男性 UWSA 经历不足，因此最终样本由 288 名女性组成。
大约 20%的女性夜生活顾客经历过某种形式的 UWSA 受害。逻辑回归分析表明，在控制年龄和醉酒程度后，CCP 史、特质攻击性和男性规范一致性与女性受访者的 UWSA 经历无关。
本研究发现，个体因素与 UWSA 经历无关，这表明仅仅处于夜生活环境中，尤其是作为女性，就会增加 UWSA 受害的风险。需要理解和探索社会和环境风险因素，而不是个体因素，以预防夜生活环境中的受害。
