Young men's errors in sexual perception have been linked to sexual coercion. The current investigation sought to explicate the perceptual and decisional sources of these social perception errors, as well as their link to risk for sexual violence. General Recognition Theory (GRT; [Ashby, F. G., & Townsend, J. T. (1986). Varieties of perceptual independence. Psychological Review, 93, 154-179]) was used to estimate participants' ability to discriminate between affective cues and clothing style cues and to measure illusory correlations between men's perception of women's clothing style and sexual interest. High-risk men were less sensitive to the distinction between women's friendly and sexual interest cues relative to other men. In addition, they were more likely to perceive an illusory correlation between women's diagnostic sexual interest cues (e.g., facial affect) and non-diagnostic cues (e.g., provocative clothing), which increases the probability that high-risk men will misperceive friendly women as intending to communicate sexual interest. The results provide information about the degree of risk conferred by individual differences in perceptual processing of women's interest cues, and also illustrate how translational scientists might adapt GRT to examine research questions about individual differences in social perception.

女性性兴趣的诊断性和非诊断性线索之间的感知关联：性胁迫风险的一般认知理论预测

年轻男性在性观念上的错误与性胁迫有关。目前的调查试图解释这些社会认知错误的感知和决策来源，以及它们与性暴力风险的联系。一般认知理论 (GRT; [Ashby, FG, & Townsend, JT (1986). Varieties of Perceptual Independent. Psychological Review, 93, 154-179]) 用于估计参与者区分情感线索和服装风格线索的能力并测量男性对女性服装风格的感知与性兴趣之间的虚幻相关性。与其他男性相比，高风险男性对女性友好和性兴趣线索之间的区别不太敏感。此外，他们更有可能感知到女性之间的虚幻关联。s 诊断性兴趣线索（例如，面部表情）和非诊断性线索（例如，挑逗性的衣服），这增加了高风险男性误认为友好女性有意传达性兴趣的可能性。结果提供了有关女性兴趣线索感知处理中的个体差异所赋予的风险程度的信息，并说明了转化科学家如何利用 GRT 来检查有关社会感知个体差异的研究问题。
