Sexuelle Aggression und Opfererfahrung unter Jugendlichen und jungen Erwachsenen

Prävalenz und Prädiktoren

Published Online:August 11, 2009https://doi.org/10.1026/0033-3042.60.3.173

Abstract

Zusammenfassung. Die internationale Forschungsliteratur belegt, dass unfreiwillige sexuelle Interaktionen unter Jugendlichen und jungen Erwachsenen weit verbreitet sind. Ausgehend von einer kurzen Bestandsaufnahme dieser Literatur stellt der Beitrag zwei eigene Studien zum Verbreitungsgrad und zu Risikofaktoren sexuell aggressiven Täterhandelns und sexueller Viktimisierung vor. Neben der traditionellen Konstellation männlicher Täter und weiblicher Opfer werden sexuelle Aggression von Frauen gegenüber Männern sowie sexuelle Viktimisierung von Männern durch Frauen betrachtet. Bezogen auf Risikofaktoren für Täterhandeln und Vulnerabilitätsfaktoren für Opfererfahrungen liegt der Schwerpunkt auf der Betrachtung biografischer Variablen (z.B. kindliche Missbrauchserfahrungen) sowie aktualgenetischer Faktoren (z.B. mehrdeutige Kommunikation sexueller Absichten), wobei der Verankerung von Risikoelementen sexueller Aggression in „sexuellen Skripts”, d.h. Verhaltensdrehbüchern für freiwillige sexuelle Interaktionen, besondere Bedeutung beigemessen wird. Abschließend werden die Implikationen der Befunde für die Entwicklung von Präventionsmaßnahmen diskutiert.


Sexual aggression and victimization among adolescents and young adults: Prevalence and predictors

Abstract. There is growing evidence from the international literature that nonconsensual sexual interactions are widespread among adolescents and young adults. Following a brief review of this literature, two studies are reported that examined the prevalence and predictors of sexual aggression and sexual victimization among young people in Germany. In addition to the traditional focus on male perpetrators and female victims, evidence is presented on women’s sexual aggression towards men and men’s sexual victimization by women. Variables increasing the risk of sexual aggression and vulnerability for victimization include both biographical factors (e.g., childhood abuse) and situational variables (e.g., ambiguous communication of sexual intentions). Special consideration is given to the representation of risk factors in the ”sexual scripts” for consensual sexual interactions that serve as guidelines for sexual behavior. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of the implications of the findings for prevention efforts.
