Research seems to focus more on examining predictors of sexual victimization rather than violent experiences predicting coercive sexual behaviors. Little research explores victim to offender associations. The present study expands current literature by exploring transnational differences in which coercive sexual behaviors manifest from childhood violence experiences. Do experiences of violence during childhood impact the use of coercive sexual behaviors? Multilevel modeling regression analysis, used on data from the International Dating Violence Study, reveal several interesting findings: (1) violent socialization from families is associated with coercive sexual behavior, (2) violent socialization from the community is associated with coercive sexual behavior, and (3) nations where violent socialization is more prevalent, the average level of coercive sexual behaviors tends to increase. Identifying predictive processes for sexual coercion is important. Sexual coercion may be represented in subtle day to day interactions that over time instill a sense of violence normality and further perpetuate victimization.

研究似乎更侧重于检查性受害的预测因素，而不是预测胁迫性行为的暴力经历。很少有研究探讨受害者与犯罪者之间的联系。本研究通过探索童年暴力经历中表现出的强迫性行为的跨国差异，扩展了现有文献。童年时期的暴力经历是否会影响强迫性行为的使用？对国际约会暴力研究的数据进行多级建模回归分析，揭示了几个有趣的发现：（1）来自家庭的暴力社交与强制性性行为相关，（2）来自社区的暴力社交与强制性性行为相关，以及(3)暴力社会化较为盛行的国家，强迫性行为的平均水平趋于上升。识别性胁迫的预测过程很重要。性胁迫可能表现为微妙的日常互动，随着时间的推移，这种互动逐渐灌输一种暴力常态感，并进一步使受害现象长期存在。
