ABSTRACT

The etiology of the nexus between high-profile athletic participation and sexual aggression has been explained using Male Peer Support (MPS) Theory, though research is dated and has relied heavily upon college athletic participation. The present study assesses the relation between retrospective participation in high-profile, high school (HS) team sports and woman abuse using survey responses from a sample of 280 undergraduate men at a public university in the Pacific Northwest. Results from multivariate regression models indicate retrospective participation in high-profile, HS team sports was not a significant predictor of sexual aggression once other theoretical factors were accounted for in analyses. Endorsement of rape myths, increased encouragement from all-male peers for maladaptive behaviour, pornography consumption frequency, fraternity membership, and problematic alcohol consumption patterns predicted predatory sexual behaviour. Prevention programmes should target at-risk populations and all-male peer groups, specifically focusing on behaviours supportive of woman abuse.

抽象的

尽管研究是过时的，并且在很大程度上依赖于大学运动参与，但是已经使用男性同伴支持（MPS）理论解释了高水平运动参与和性侵害之间联系的病因。本研究使用西北太平洋一所公立大学的280名本科男生的调查回答，评估了高中，高中（HS）团队运动的回顾性参与与女性虐待之间的关系。多元回归模型的结果表明，回顾性地参与了高调的研究，一旦分析中考虑了其他理论因素，HS团队运动就不是性侵害的重要预测指标。认可强奸神话，全男同辈对不当行为的鼓励，色情消费频率，兄弟会成员和有问题的饮酒模式预示了掠夺性行为。预防方案应针对高危人群和全男性同龄人群，尤其应侧重于支持虐待妇女的行为。
