This study examined the effect of impersonal-promiscuous sex, hostility toward women, acceptance of violence, and affective empathy on occurrence and frequency of sexual assault. Anonymous self-report questionnaire was used to collect data online. A total of 998 adult men participated in the study. The results suggested that the participants who self-reported as having committed sexual assault within the previous year accounted for 13% of the sample. Impersonal-promiscuous sex, hostility toward women, and affective empathy were all predictors of sexual assault occurrence, but acceptance of violence was not. Further analysis of the main components of acceptance of violence revealed that interpersonal violence and sexual assault behavior were positively correlated, whereas legitimate violence was negatively correlated with sexual assault. Because of the combination of positive and negative influences, acceptance of violence was not a predictor of sexual assault. Binary logistic regression analysis indicated that impersonal-promiscuous sex, hostility toward women, interpersonal violence, legitimate violence, and affective empathy were all predictors of sexual assault. Structural equation modeling revealed that impersonal-promiscuous sex, interpersonal violence, and legitimate violence were all predictors of sexual assault frequency. The theoretical implications, practical applications, and research limitations of this study, in addition to future research directions, are discussed. |
