“…Potential correlates of physical aggression include favorable attitudes toward violence, level of commitment in the relationship, and personality variables (e.g., self-esteem) (Sugarman and Hotaling 1989). In contrast, most of the research on sexual aggression or coercion focuses on the characteristics of men who engage in the behavior and the consequences for its (female) victims (e.g., Allison and Wrightsman 1993;Craig 1990;Wiehe and Richards 1995). Nevertheless, research primarily on men has shown that physical aggression and sexual aggression or coercion share some correlates, including patriarchal group membership (e.g., Craig 1990;DeKeseredy and Kelly 1993;Schwartz and DeKeseredy 1997) and a hostile and dominant attitude toward female sexuality (e.g., Craig 1990;Emmers-Sommer and Allen 1999;Malamuth et al 1995).…”

The current study explored the relationship between courtship violence and the exploitativeness/entitlement factor of overt narcissism, covert narcissism, and sexual narcissism. Data were analyzed from 63 currently dating couples on their own and partner's aggression using the CTS2. All were white, heterosexual students from a small US college in Central Pennsylvania. An interdependence analysis showed that correlations were entirely explained at the individual-level, thus demonstrating that gender is a key element in understanding narcissism and courtship violence. For women, exploitativeness/ entitlement was significantly correlated with sexual coercion in both dating partners. For men, covert narcissism was correlated with physical assault and sexual narcissism was correlated with their partner's sexual coercion. Narcissism also influenced some discrepancies in self-and partner-rated aggression.

“…4,5 Yet preliminary studies conducted among largely Caucasian, college-aged populations suggest that a significant proportion of young adult victims of sexual assault do not disclose this information, specifically because the perpetrator is a date or acquaintance. 2,3,[6][7][8] Adolescent victims of sexual assault may be even more prone to silence because of past sexual intimacy with the perpetrator or date-specific behaviors such as the illegal use of alcohol. Thus, date/acquaintance rape has been called a silent epidemic among young females because of the high rates at which it occurs and its infrequent disclosure.…”

“…Some women report a general decrease in sexual interest following sexual assaults (Siegel et al, 1990). Also, a rape experience may lead a woman to associate sex with violence, resulting in "flashback" experiences during voluntary sexual encounters (Wiehe & Richards, 1995).…”
