Abstract

Objective: Study explores the role of well-documented individual-level correlates of a range of types of sexual violence among undergraduates and examines both individual-level and incident-level correlates of disclosure patterns to formal and informal sources. Participants: The current study involves the analysis of campus climate data collected in 2018 from 2,271 undergraduate participants. Methods: Descriptive and bivariate analyses are conducted to examine correlates of sexual violence, and a logistic regression model is estimated to examine disclosure by both individual and incident-level correlates. Results: 19% of students experience at least one incident of sexual violence since coming to campus, with many reporting multiple victimizations which differs by race, gender, and sexual orientation. Significant differences found in disclosure based on gender and relationship to who committed the sexual violence. Conclusions: Overall, findings from this study highlight the importance of using a nuanced approach to examining college students’ experiences of sexual violence.

摘要

目标：研究探讨了在本科生中各种类型的性暴力的有据可查的个人层面相关性的作用，并检查了个人层面和事件层面与正式和非正式来源的披露模式的相关性。参与者：当前的研究涉及对 2018 年从 2,271 名本科生参与者收集的校园气候数据的分析。方法：进行描述性和双变量分析以检查性暴力的相关性，并估计逻辑回归模型以检查个人和事件级别相关性的披露。结果：19% 的学生自进入校园以来至少经历过一次性暴力事件，许多人报告说多次受害，这些受害情况因种族、性别和性取向而异。根据性别和与性暴力实施者的关系，在披露方面存在显着差异。结论：总的来说，这项研究的结果强调了使用细致入微的方法来检查大学生性暴力经历的重要性。
