Prior literature illustrates that sexual minority people (e.g., bisexual, gay, queer) are at increased vulnerability for sexual violence victimization compared to heterosexual peers, including while in college. However, the study of sexual violence perpetration in sexual minority populations, much less specifically sexual minority college men, has been neglected. This article reviews the literature and presents a secondary data analysis of a systematic review on college men's sexual perpetration rates and associated methodology. We also conducted analyses to summarize available literature regarding publishing dates, authors, and data inclusivity.
We downloaded the dataset and associated materials from Mendeley.com's data archive.
To our surprise, we could not analyze sexual perpetration prevalence rates in sexual minority men using the systematic review data due to absence of reported data across all 77 independent samples including over 5,500 male participants. We found no significant relationship between inclusion of sexual minority men and the use of measurement strategies specialized to assess sexual minority needs. We did find a positive relationship between recency of publication and the inclusion of sexual minority men, r(76) = .24, p = .03, and that most authors/co-authors were women (72%).
Preventing perpetration is central to ending sexual violence; therefore, future research should include sexual minority people and use appropriate methodology in the investigation of sexual perpetration characteristics and patterns.
先前的文献表明,与异性恋同龄人相比,性少数群体(如双性恋、男同性恋、酷儿)遭受性暴力侵害的风险更高,在大学期间也是如此。然而,对性少数群体中性暴力实施情况的研究,尤其是对性少数群体男大学生的研究却被忽视了。本文回顾了相关文献,并对一项关于男大学生性侵犯率及相关方法的系统评价进行了二次数据分析。我们还进行了分析,以总结有关出版日期、作者和数据包容性的现有文献。
我们从Mendeley.com的数据存档中下载了数据集及相关材料。
令我们惊讶的是,由于在包括5500多名男性参与者的所有77个独立样本中均未报告相关数据,我们无法使用该系统评价数据来分析性少数群体男性的性侵犯流行率。我们发现纳入性少数群体男性与使用专门评估性少数群体需求的测量策略之间没有显著关系。我们确实发现出版时间与纳入性少数群体男性之间存在正相关关系,r(76) = 0.24,p = 0.03,并且大多数作者/共同作者为女性(72%)。
预防犯罪是结束性暴力的核心;因此,未来的研究应纳入性少数群体,并在调查性犯罪特征和模式时使用适当的方法。
