All participants were asked about both victimization by, and perpetration of, sexual aggression since the age of 14 years, using the Sexual Aggression and Victimization Scale (SAV-S). Prevalence rates were established for different coercive strategies, sexual acts, and victim-perpetrator relationships. Both same-sex and opposite-sex victim-perpetrator constellations were examined. The overall victimization rate was 62.1\% for women and 37.5\% for men. The overall perpetration rate was 17.7\% for men and 9.4\% for women. Prevalence rates of both victimization and perpetration were higher for participants who had sexual contacts with both opposite-sex and same-sex partners than for participants with exclusively opposite-sex partners. Significant overlap was found between victim and perpetrator status for men and women as well as for participants with only opposite-sex and both opposite-sex and same-sex partners. A disparity between (higher) victimization and (lower) perpetration reports was found for both men and women, suggesting a general underreporting of perpetration rather than a gendered explanation in terms of social desirability or the perception of consent cues. The findings are placed in the international research literature on the prevalence of sexual aggression before and after the \#metoo campaign, and their implications for prevention efforts are discussed.}, language = {en} } @article{SchusterKrahe2019, author = {Schuster, Isabell and Krahe, Barbara}, title = {Predicting Sexual Victimization Among College Students in Chile and Turkey: A Cross-Cultural Analysis}, series = {Archives of sexual behavior : the official publication of the International Academy of Sex Research}, volume = {48}, journal = {Archives of sexual behavior : the official publication of the International Academy of Sex Research}, number = {8}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {New York}, issn = {0004-0002}, doi = {10.1007/s10508-018-1335-z}, pages = {2565 -- 2580}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @article{Krahe2016, author = {Krah{\´e}, Barbara}, title = {Vulnerability to Sexual Victimization in Female and Male College Students in Brazil: Cross-Sectional and Prospective Evidence}, series = {Archives of sexual behavior : the official publication of the International Academy of Sex Research}, volume = {45}, journal = {Archives of sexual behavior : the official publication of the International Academy of Sex Research}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {New York}, issn = {0004-0002}, doi = {10.1007/s10508-014-0451-7}, pages = {1101 -- 1115}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Using both cross-sectional and prospective analyses, this study examined vulnerability factors for sexual victimization in 541 female and male Brazilian college students, of whom a subgroup of 250 took part in two measurements 6 months apart. Risk factors for sexual victimization (alcohol consumption, casual sex, and ambiguous communication) in participants' cognitive scripts for consensual sex were linked to sexual victimization via their translation into risky sexual behavior. Pornography use was indirectly linked to sexual victimization through its influence on risky sexual scripts and sexual behavior. Child sexual abuse predicted sexual victimization in the cross-sectional analysis, and victimization since age 14 predicted revictimization in the six months covered by the prospective period. Few gender differences were found. This study is the first prospective investigation of vulnerability factors for sexual victimization in Brazil, and similarities to evidence from North America are discussed.}, language = {en} }
