Abstract

Developed a survey capable of reflecting hidden cases of rape and of documenting a dimensional view of sexual aggression/sexual victimization. This survey examines degrees of coercion used or experienced in sexual activity. Results obtained from 3,862 university students support a dimensional view. The viability of a survey approach to sample selection for future rape research is discussed.

FINDING The more frequently men used pornography and the more violent the pornography they used, the more likely they were to be involved in various types of coercive sex including physical coercion.
