Resumo
O objetivo foi estudar a prevalência de comportamentos sexualmente agressivos em estudantes universitárias e testar se existem diferenças nos níveis de Intimidade, Proximidade/Ligação aos Outros e Solidão entre mulheres sexualmente agressivas e mulheres não agressivas.
A amostra incluiu 331 participantes que responderam a questionários de autorresposta. Para comparar mulheres sexualmente agressivas e mulheres não agressivas realizou-se uma MANOVA. Para testar o efeito preditor da Intimidade e Solidão nos comportamentos sexualmente agressivos, realizou-se uma Regressão Linear Múltipla.
Os resultados mostraram que 33.5% das participantes já recorreram a estratégias sexualmente agressivas. Destas, 60.4% já recorreram ao abuso sexual, 55% à coação sexual e 10.8% à força física. Foram encontradas diferenças entre os grupos para o Fator 1 (Validação Pessoal) e score total da Intimidade e Solidão. Na Validação Pessoal e score total da Intimidade, as mulheres sexualmente agressivas apresentaram valores médios inferiores. Na Solidão, as mulheres sexualmente agressivas apresentaram valores médios superiores aos obtidos pelo grupo de controlo. Os resultados mostraram ainda que as variáveis preditoras explicaram 5.1% da variância dos comportamentos sexualmente agressivos.
As dificuldades no estabelecimento de relações de intimidade e os sentimentos de solidão parecem desempenhar um papel importante na predisposição de comportamentos sexualmente agressivos em estudantes universitárias.
The goal was to study the prevalence of sexually aggressive behaviors in female college students and to test for differences in levels of Intimacy, Social Safeness, and Loneliness between sexually aggressive and non-aggressive women. A sample of 331 participants answered to self-response questionnaires. To compare the sexually aggressive and non-aggressive women, a MANOVA was performed. To test the predictor effect of Intimacy and Loneliness on sexual aggressive behaviors, a Multiple Linear Regression was performed. The results showed that 33.5% of participants have resorted to sexually aggressive strategies. Among these, 60.4% have resorted to sexual abuse, 55% to sexual coercion and 10.8% to physical force. Differences between groups were found for Factor 1 (Personal Validation) and total score of Intimacy and Loneliness. In Personal Validation and the total score of Intimacy, sexually aggressive women had lower mean values. In Loneliness, sexually aggressive women had higher mean values in comparison with the control group. The results showed that the predictor variables explained 5.1% of the variance of sexually aggressive behaviors. Difficulties in establishing intimate relationships and feelings of loneliness seem to play an important role in predisposing female college students to sexually aggressive behaviors.
