TY - JOUR PY - 2005// TI - Rates and Predictors of Sexual Aggression Among Students and Nonstudents JO - Journal of interpersonal violence A1 - Buddie, Amy M. A1 - Testa, Maria SP - 713 EP - 724 VL - 20 IS - 6 N2 - The authors compared rates and predictors of sexual aggression for women attending college with those of women from the same population who were not attending college. Because it has been suggested that less parental monitoring at college may be associated with risky behaviors that contribute to sexual aggression, they also compared rates and predictors of sexual aggression for those living with parents versus not living with parents. The results showed that women living away from parents reported significantly higher rates of sexual aggression than women living with parents, regardless of student status. Logistic regression analyses showed that for student and nonstudent women, heavy episodic drinking and number of sex partners predicted past-year rape and/or attempted rape. The current results do not provide evidence that college is a uniquely risky environment for experiencing sexual aggression. Rather, the behaviors in which young women engage are associated with sexual aggression during this time period. (Abstract Adapted from Source: Journal of Interpersonal Violence, 2005.
