Extensivo prior research has indicated thai sexual assault is highly prevaLent among American colloge students. The purpose of thi.. study was te assess Spanish students' altitudes about forced sex and actual experiences with male-a~ainst-feniale sexual aggression (SA) al a major university campus. A date-rapo story was prosented whereupon grudenis (¡Y = 4l2) indicated the extent te which they íhuughí forced sex was accopíable or unacceptable in ten hypothetical situations (Giarusso. Johnson, (ioodchilds, & Zelíman, 1979). A second secíjon examined whether a female nr maJe Spanish siudení had experienced or engaged in a broad range of coereive sexual activities (Kuss & Oros, 1982). A third sectioi, elicited help-seeking behavior in those cases where a female student had experionced unwanted sexual aeíivily (Ogletreo. 1993). It was hypoíhesized thai síudcnts wuuld differ in their acceptance of forced sex as a function of sex, branch and year uf study. and actual experienco with SA. Results showed thai acceptanee of torced sex was significantly relaled tu sex, year uf study and experience with SA. Resulis also revealed thai 17.5% of alí male students (e z 189) acoepíed forced sex and 33.2% of alí female students (n = 223) had experiencod sorne form of unwanted sexual activity; 7.7% of ihe women had experienced akernpted or cumpleted rape. Only 39% of Ihose women victimized sought any form nf help. The mplicaíions uf ihese findings for rape-prevention progratns aro discussed. Tal y como han mostrado investigaciones previas, la agresión sexual es muy común entre los estudiantes universitarios estadounidenses. El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar tanto las actitudes de los estudiantes españoles hacia el sexo torzado como las experiencias reales de agresión sexual
