“…In contrast to previous research focused on examining consent in the context of sexual assault (Hall, 1998;Hickman & Muehlenhard, 1999;Humphreys & Brousseau, 2010;Jozkowski, Peterson et al, 2013;Jozkowski & Peterson, 2012), the current study examined sexual consent in relation to participants' perceptions of the quality of their most recent engagement in sexual intercourse. It is notable that the two internal consent factors to emerge as significant predictors of quality of sexual intercourse for both women and men were comfort/safety and agreement/wantedness.…”

“…For example, Humphreys and Brousseau (2010) and Humphreys and Herold (2007) developed the Sexual Consent Scale-Revised to assess college students' attitudes and beliefs regarding how sexual consent should be and is negotiated between sexual partners. Utilizing Muehlenhard's (1995Muehlenhard's ( /1996 framework for conceptualizing sexual consent as a mental act and a verbal/behavioral act, Jozkowski (2011) developed the Internal Consent Scale (ICS; mental act) and the External Consent Scale (ECS; verbal/behavioral act) to assess college students' feelings of willingness/consent to engage in sexual activity (internal consent) as well as the verbal and behavioral cues they utilize to communicate consent to sex (external consent) at their most recent sexual event.…”

“…Humphreys and colleagues (Humphreys & Brousseau, 2010;Humphreys & Herold, 2007), Ward andcolleagues (2012), andJozkowski (2011) all discuss the utility of their respective measures in relation to better understanding consent with implications for reducing rates of sexual assault and informing sexual assault prevention education. However, such measures may have important utility outside of a sexual assault prevention education framework.…”

The current study assessed consent's relation to quality of sexual intercourse. College students (n = 640) participated in a survey assessing their most recent intercourse. Hierarchical regression was conducted: alcohol consumption, relationship status, and age were entered in Step 1; the Internal and External Consent Scale factors were entered in Step 2. For women, three internal consent factors explained a significant proportion of variance in quality of intercourse beyond Step 1 ( R 2 = .17, p < .001). For men, one internal and two external consent factors were significant predictors beyond Step 1 ( R 2 = .24, p < .001). Preliminary findings suggest consent is associated with quality of intercourse.

“…El sexo anal es un caso paradigmático, porque requiere siempre permiso expreso (Humphreys, 2007). Por otro lado, el grado de involucramiento sexual y emocional de una pareja (la duración de una relación) permite, teóricamente, percibir las intenciones sexuales con mayor claridad, aceptación y consenso (Humphreys, 2004;Humphreys & Brousseau, 2010).…”

Resumen En años recientes, el consentimiento sexual ha sido considerado una llave maestra para evitar la violencia sexual en las relaciones sexuales. En 2014, Jerry Brown, gobernador de California, aprobó una ley para agregar la sección 67386 al Código de Educación. Ésta incluye la primera definición de “consentimiento afirmativo” en Estados Unidos de América. Para ser válido, la aquiescencia debe ser explícita, afirmativa, consciente, voluntaria y la existencia de un noviazgo no debe asumirse como indicador implícito de consentimiento. Este artículo muestra, desde una perspectiva de género, la complejidad mayúscula de dicha definición.

“…Earlier studies specifically focused on sexual consent in mental retardation (Kennedy, 1999;Kennedy & Niederbuhl, 2001;Sundram & Stavis, 1994) and others more recently provided a self-report measure for sexual consent in non-clinical settings (Humphreys & Brousseau, 2009;Humphreys & Herold, 2007). Sexual consent criteria have not yet been tested on psychiatric samples.…”

Competence to Consent to Sexual Activity in Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenic Spectrum Disorders

et al. 2011

Little is known about the ability of persons with severe mental disorders to give consent to sexual activity. A possible reason for this shortcoming is the absence of specific criteria and tools to measure sexual consent in psychiatric clinical settings. We developed a clinician oriented semi-structured interview, the Sexual Consent Assessment Scale (SCAS), and investigated sexual consent capacity in a sample of hospitalized patients with bipolar disorder (n = 54, M (age) = 38.1 years, 48% males) and schizophrenic spectrum disorders (n = 31, M (age) = 38.4 years, 29% males). The SCAS items were derived from the criteria proposed by Kennedy and Niederbuhl (Am J Ment Retard, 106:503-510, 2001). The full scale and a shorter scale comprising 10 items (SCAS-10) achieved good initial validity. Patients with schizophrenic spectrum disorders had worse sexual consent capacity than patients with bipolar disorder. This difference was unexpectedly independent from patients' symptomatology, as measured by the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale. Conversely, poor cognitive functioning measured by the Raven's Standard Progressive matrices was associated with reduced capacity to give sexual consent in both groups. Subjects in the schizophrenic spectrum disorders group were more frequently judged incapable in basic knowledge of birth control methods and in domains underlying metacognitive abilities. Principal component analysis revealed two SCAS-10 interpretable factors: "appropriateness-recognition" and "consequences-metacognition." Our study suggests that patients with severe psychiatric disorders, especially those with cognitive dysfunction, might be at risk of incapacity to give valid sexual consent.
