TY - JOUR PY - 2005// TI - The involvement in sexual coercive behaviors of Spanish college men: prevalence and risk factors JO - Journal of interpersonal violence A1 - Martín, Antonio Fuertes A1 - Vergeles, Maribel Ramos A1 - Acevedo, Victoria de la Orden A1 - Del Campo Sánchez, Amaia A1 - Visa, Susana Lázaro SP - 872 EP - 891 VL - 20 IS - 7 N2 - This study aimed to know the prevalence of sexual coercion toward women perpetrated by acquaintance Spanish college men, and some personal factors associated with the involvement in these behaviors to replicate the confluence model. An anonymous questionnaire was completed by 196 university students that included an adaptation of the Sexual Experiences Survey, and other scales to assess different attitudes, motives, and experiences associated with sexual aggression. About 15% of men admitted some involvement in sexual behaviors when the woman did not want it. The control and dominance needs, the personal disposition to impersonal sex, and empathy competency showed the strongest association with the involvement in coercive sexual behaviors. Empathy moderated the effects of control and domination needs and the impersonal sex in predicting sexual coercion. Overall, our data supports the confluence model.
