The #MeToo movement illuminated vast numbers of people who experienced sexual violence, but the exact scope and impact, especially among under-studied populations (e.g., men and sexual minorities) is unclear, due in part to measurement issues. Our objective was to compare the validity of two measures of sexual violence victimization: The Sexual Experiences Survey – Short Form Victimization (SES-SFV) and The Post-Refusal Sexual Persistence Scale – Victimization (PRSPS-V). Participants were 673 college students who first completed the Rape Empathy for Victims (REM-V) and then the SES-SFV and PRSPS-V (counter-balanced). We found strong evidence of convergent validity for the PRSPS-V with correlations ranging from r = .57–88. Convergent validity correlations were strongest for sexual minority women (r = .88) and weakest for heterosexual men (r = .57). We also found evidence of differential validity for the SES-SFV and PRSPS-V. For heterosexual women, rape empathy was correlated to victimization on both questionnaires (r = .25–.29). However, for heterosexual men, only scores on the SES-SFV were correlated with rape empathy for victims (r = .19). For sexual minorities there appeared to be differences between PRSPS-V only victims and those who reported victimization on both questionnairnes in rape empathy (F = 2.65, p = .053). These results provide researchers a starting point for improving these questionnaires to collect more accurate data that helps improve the ability to detect cases of sexual victimization and thus, prevent and heal sexual victimization, especially in understudied populations such as men and sexual minorities.

#MeToo 运动照亮了大批经历过性暴力的人，但确切的范围和影响，特别是在研究不足的人群（例如男性和性少数群体）中，尚不清楚，部分原因是测量问题。我们的目的是比较两种性暴力受害衡量指标的有效性：性经历调查 - 短期受害 (SES-SFV) 和拒绝后性持续量表 - 受害 (PRSPS-V)。参与者是 673 名大学生，他们首先完成了强奸受害者同情心 (REM-V)，然后完成了 SES-SFV 和 PRSPS-V（平衡）。我们发现了 PRSPS-V 收敛有效性的有力证据，相关性范围为r = 0.57–88。收敛效度相关性在性少数女性中最强 ( r = .88)，在异性恋男性中最弱 ( r = .57)。我们还发现了 SES-SFV 和 PRSPS-V 有效性差异的证据。对于异性恋女性，强奸同理心与两份问卷中的受害程度相关（ r = .25–.29）。然而，对于异性恋男性来说，只有 SES-SFV 得分与强奸受害者的同情心相关 ( r = .19)。对于性少数群体而言，仅接受 PRSPS-V 的受害者与在两个问卷中均报告受害的受害者在强奸同理心方面似乎存在差异（ F = 2.65， p = .053）。这些结果为研究人员改进这些调查问卷提供了一个起点，以收集更准确的数据，有助于提高发现性受害案件的能力，从而预防和治愈性受害，特别是在男性和性少数群体等研究不足的人群中。
