This study compared the qualitative nature of women and men's sexual violence (SV) victimization, the types of experiences captured and missed on the Sexual Experiences Survey-Short Form Victimization (SES-SFV) across genders, and common interpretations of the SES-SFV items. Fifty-four university students (31 women, 21 cis men, 2 trans men) who had recent unwanted (but not necessarily nonconsensual) sexual experiences thought out loud while privately completing the SES-SFV. They also typed descriptions of experiences reported on SES-SFV items or similar experiences when nothing was reported on an item. Results indicated that women's victimization was more frequent and severe than cis men's, except when men were victimized by men. Although verbal coercion was common across genders, event descriptions indicated that women's verbal coercion experiences were more often harsh and part of a partner's ongoing SV or coercive control. The findings suggest that quantitative measurement can mask important gender differences in victimization and (based on analysis of false positives and negatives) may underestimate rape and attempted rape experiences, especially women's. Findings suggested that responding to the SES-SFV was not traumatic or distressing. However, participants sometimes expressed confusion about the items and interpreted them in unintended ways.
本研究比较了男性和女性性暴力（SV）受害经历的质性特征、《性经历调查简表-受害版》（SES-SFV）在不同性别中所涵盖和遗漏的经历类型，以及对SES-SFV项目的常见解读。54名近期有过非自愿（但不一定是未经同意）性经历的大学生（31名女性、21名顺性别男性、2名跨性别男性）在私下完成SES-SFV时边思考边出声表达。他们还对SES-SFV项目中报告的经历或项目未报告时的类似经历进行了文字描述。结果表明，女性的受害经历比顺性别男性更频繁、更严重，但男性被男性侵害的情况除外。虽然言语胁迫在不同性别中都很常见，但事件描述表明，女性的言语胁迫经历往往更恶劣，且是伴侣持续性性暴力或强制控制的一部分。研究结果表明，定量测量可能会掩盖受害经历中重要的性别差异，并且（基于对假阳性和假阴性的分析）可能低估强奸和强奸未遂经历，尤其是女性的此类经历。研究结果表明，对SES-SFV做出回应不会造成创伤或困扰。然而，参与者有时会对项目表示困惑，并以意想不到的方式进行解读。
