Background

Conceptual models of sexual violence against women suggest that psychopathic traits and aspects of hypersexuality are important risk factors in a variety of populations. In college samples, studies have yet to examine (1) whether sex drive as a component of hypersexuality is linked with sexual violence and (2) whether both psychopathic traits and sex drive are uniquely associated with sexual violence (i.e., proclivity for sexual assault, prior sexual coercion), beyond other known risk factors and each other.

Methods

A structural equation modeling approach was used to examine a large representative sample of college men (N = 1148; M_age = 20.09, SD = 2.16) assessed for known risk factors of sexual violence, their sexual assault proclivity, and prior sexual coercion.

Findings

Latent psychopathy and sex drive factors were moderately associated; however, only the psychopathic traits factor was linked to both sexual assault proclivity and prior sexual coercion—over age, empathy, and alcohol use—whereas the sex drive factor associated with sexual assault proclivity.

Conclusion

Psychopathy was the strongest factor linked to sexual violence in this national sample of college men. Consistent with increasing attention as a risk component, sex drive also accounted for sexually violent risk factors.

大学生的性侵犯倾向和性侵犯：与精神病态特征和性欲的关联

背景

针对妇女的性暴力的概念模型表明，精神变态特征和性欲亢进的方面是各种人群的重要危险因素。在大学样本中，研究尚未检验（1）性欲作为性欲亢进的一个组成部分是否与性暴力有关，以及（2）精神病特征和性欲是否都与性暴力（即性侵犯倾向、先前的性胁迫），超越其他已知的危险因素和彼此。

方法

采用结构方程建模方法对大量具有代表性的男性大学生样本（N =  1148；M_年龄 = 20.09，SD  = 2.16）进行了评估，评估已知的性暴力风险因素、性侵犯倾向和先前的性胁迫行为。

发现

潜在的精神病和性欲因素呈中度相关；然而，只有精神病特征因素与性侵犯倾向和先前的性胁迫（年龄、同理心和饮酒）相关，而性欲因素与性侵犯倾向相关。

结论

在全国大学生样本中，精神变态是与性暴力相关的最强因素。与日益受到关注的风险因素相一致的是，性冲动也是性暴力风险因素之一。
