Because of this high level of sexual aggression on college campuses, researchers have attempted to determine whether risk factors can be identified which are associated with these behaviors so that a discussion of them can be included in rape/violence prevention programs.This research effort has led to the identification of risk factors that are associated with the likelihood that a woman may experience sexual aggression. These risk factors include the length of time the persons have known each other (Bridgeland, Duane, and Stewart (2005). power differentials in the relationship. substance use or abuse (Harrington and Leitenberg, 2004). location of the couple at the time the SA occurred. and miscommunication about sex or sexual expectations (Collings, 2004).Women who had experienced SA were higher than other women in the acceptance of violence toward women and adversarial sexual beliefs. Perhaps these women did not feel entitled to stop unwanted sexual advances. Alternatively, perhaps experiencing SA fostered the idea that female-male relationships are adversarial and that violence is to be expected. (p. 195)The association between parental divorce and heterosexual attitudes and behaviors has been well documented. In 2002, Hetherington found that adolescent girls from divorced families had more problems in their heterosexual relationships than did girls from either intact or widowed families. And, these problems tended to center around poor communications with, and poor relating to, their male partners.Kelly (2001) concluded that fear of involvement and short-term relationships were common among the children of divorce who had coped well with their parent’s divorce.
