KalmanAbstract
College women are at high risk of experiencing sexual misconduct 1, which can be classified as either assault or coercion depending on the extent of violence used in perpetration. Coerced sex is a common experience, especially among college women 5, but it has not received as much attention as assault. The purpose of this exploratory research is to examine experiences and correlates of sexual coercion among college women and men using a relatively new measure of assault perpetration.
