Abstract
Zusammenfassung. Die Vergewaltigungsneigung (VN) wird oft mittels szenariobasierter Verfahren (SBV) erfasst, bei denen Befragte angeben, ob sie ebenso gehandelt hätten wie ein Protagonist, der sexuell gewalttätiges Verhalten zeigt. Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt die Weiterentwicklung eines SBV vor, mit dem sich eine generelle Neigung zu sexueller Aggression erfassen lässt. Männliche Studierende (N = 100) bearbeiteten sowohl Gewaltszenarien als auch Fragebogenskalen zur Konstruktvalidierung. Das neue Verfahren korrelierte hypothesengemäß hoch positiv mit einem etablierten SBV, wies jedoch einen höheren Mittelwert und eine weniger schiefe Verteilung auf. Es war unabhängig von sozialer Erwünschtheit und korrelierte positiv mit Vergewaltigungsmythenakzeptanz, feindseligem Sexismus und selbstberichteter sexueller Aggression. Auch die Ergebnisse einer zweiten Studie (N = 60) bestätigen die Konstruktvalidität des neuen SBV.
Abstract. Rape proclivity is often assessed with scenario-based measures (SBMs), where participants state if they would act like a male protagonist who shows sexually aggressive behavior. The present work presents a further development of an SBM with which a general proclivity to sexually aggression can be assessed. Male students (N = 100) completed both violence scenarios, and self-report measures to establish construct validity. As predicted, the new measure was highly correlated with an established SBM but had a higher mean and less skewed distribution. It was independent of social desirability and positively correlated with rape myth acceptance, hostile sexism, and self-reported sexual aggression. Findings from a second study (N = 60) also support the construct validity of the new SBM.
