“…Despite alarmingly high rates of sexual aggression perpetration among both men and women (e.g., Krahé et al, 2015), the evidence on predictors is limited and built predominantly on all-male samples from Western countries. In particular, there is little evidence available from Chile and Turkey (Schuster & Krahé, 2017a, 2017b). To address this shortage, the present study sought to examine predictors of sexual aggression perpetration among male and female college students in Chile and Turkey using a two-wave longitudinal design.…”

“…Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to examine predictors of sexual aggression perpetration, defined as making another person engage in sexual activities against her or his will. We studied perpetration among male and female college students, using a two-wave longitudinal design and including two countries outside the mainstream of past research, namely Turkey and Chile, for which studies on risk factors of sexual aggression are virtually absent (see reviews by Schuster & Krahé, 2017a, 2017b). The two countries were selected on the basis of theoretical considerations to investigate risk factors of perpetration identified in previous research, with a special focus on the role of sexual scripts for consensual sexual interactions.…”

“…He explained these differences by the stronger sanctioning of violence in Muslim-majority countries and the machismo culture of male dominance in Latin America. Given the paucity of empirical findings on sexual aggression perpetration in these two parts of the world (see Schuster & Krahé, 2017a, 2017b, for reviews), assessing sexual aggression perpetration among college students in Chile and Turkey may provide further exemplary evidence.…”

This two-wave longitudinal study examined risky sexual scripts and sexual behavior regarding consensual sexual interactions, sexual self-esteem, initiation assertiveness, and religiosity as predictors of sexual aggression perpetration in a cross-cultural comparison of college students in Chile and Turkey. As predicted, risky sexual scripts were linked to higher odds of perpetration through more risky sexual behavior cross-sectionally in both the Chilean and the Turkish sample and indirectly predicted perpetration 12 months later. High sexual self-esteem increased the likelihood of perpetration via higher initiation assertiveness in the Turkish sample only. High religiosity reduced the odds of perpetration through less risky sexual scripts and less risky sexual behavior in both samples. In addition, high religiosity increased the probability of perpetration through lower sexual self-esteem in the Turkish sample. Implications of these findings and the role of cultural factors contributing to the differential functioning of religiosity and sexual self-esteem are discussed.

“…A substantial methodological diversity was found across studies, hampering comparisons between studies and the emergence of a coherent knowledge base. This problem is not specific to the region considered here but is characteristic of the field of sexual aggression research in general, as typically described by literature reviews from both developed and developing countries (Dartnall & Jewkes, 2013; Jejeebhoy & Bott, 2005; Krahé, Bieneck, & Möller, 2005; Krahé, Tomaszewska, Kuyper, & Vanwesenbeeck, 2014; Kruttschnitt, Kalsbeek, & House, 2014; Schuster & Krahé, 2017; Schuster & Krahé, 2019; Winzer, 2016). Diversity included (1) variability in how sexual aggression and victimization were defined, reflected also in the type and number of questions presented; (2) variability in the sample composition in terms of sex, age, sexual orientation, and occupation; (3) variability in the time frame for which frequency reports of sexual aggression and victimization were elicited; and (4) variability in terms of the relationship between victims and perpetrator considered in the survey.…”

Southeast Asia is one of the most dynamic regions in the world. It is experiencing rapid socioeconomic change that may influence the level of sexual aggression, but data on the scale of sexual aggression in the region remain sparse. The aim of the present article was to systematically review the findings of studies available in English on the prevalence of self-reported sexual aggression and victimization among women and men above the age of 12 years in the 11 countries of Southeast Asia (Brunei, Cambodia, East Timor, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam). Based on four scientific databases, the search engine Google, Opengrey database, and reference checking, 49 studies were found on sexual victimization. Of those, 32 included only women. Self-reported perpetration was assessed by only three studies and included all-male samples. Prevalence rates varied widely across studies but showed that sexual victimization was widespread among different social groups, irrespective of sex and sexual orientation. Methodological heterogeneity, lack of representativeness of samples, imbalance of information available by country, missing information within studies, and cultural differences hampered the comparability between and within countries. There is a need for operationalizations that specifically address sexual aggression occurring after the age of consent, based on detailed behavioral descriptions of unwanted sexual experiences and allied to a qualitative approach with cultural sensitivity. Data on sexual aggression in conflict settings and in human trafficking are also limited. Recommendations for future research are presented in the discussion.

“…Sexual aggression transgresses young people's human rights with social, educational, physical, health and psychological short and long-term consequences [36]. However, despite this global human rights travesty and evidence indicating that sexual aggression among youth is a serious problem within the UK, to our knowledge, there is no overview of the evidence on this issue within the UK [37][38][39]. This study will map the breadth of available literature on sexual aggression among young people in the UK to inform future directions in research and policy on this issue within the social, cultural and political context of the UK.…”

Mapping evidence of young people’s experiences of sexual aggression in the United Kingdom: A systematic scoping review protocol

2020

Background: According to the UK's Office for National Statistics, England and Wales reported a 2.9% increase in sexual aggression cases (3.4 million females and 631,000 males) between 2009 and 2019. In Scotland, sexual aggression cases increased by 66%, with 40% of these sexual violations being perpetrated on individuals under the age of 18 years, while incidents relating to sexual misconduct in Northern Ireland increased by 21.0%, with only 41.2% of those cases being prosecuted. Acts of sexual aggression can have physical, emotional and mental consequences which predispose young people to subsequent short-and long-term mental and social disorders and comorbidities. Such consequences include feelings of guilt, shame, anger, experiencing post-traumatic stress disorders, antisocial behaviour, alcohol and drug misuse and dependency, confusion surrounding sexuality and sexually transmitted illnesses including the human immuno-deficiency virus. However, despite the societal, health, economic and educational implications for young people in the UK and increasing statistics, few studies address this scourge. Hence, the objective is to systematically map evidence of young people's experiences of sexual aggression in the UK and identify literature gaps that could inform future research. Methods: The included literature for this scoping review is published peer-reviewed articles of all research designs; grey literature including governmental reports, policy statements, conference and media reports; and unpublished theses. Electronic searches of databases and search engines such as Embase, Google, Google Scholar, EBSCOhost, CINAHL, PubMed, Education Resources Information Centre (ERIC), PsycInfo, World Health Organization (WHO), media organizations, governmental and education departments and higher learning websites for published literature. Additional searches will include screening citations in reference lists of articles and perusing "Cited by" logs. All retrieved literature will be exported to an Endnote X9.2 library. Duplicate documents will be deleted prior to title screening commencing. An adapted Mixed Method Appraisal Tool (MMAT) will be independently used by two reviewers to ensure a rigorous study and quality assessment of all included studies.
