Abstract(s)
O termo coerção sexual é empregue para fazer referência a múltiplas estratégias utilizadas para um fim – relações sexuais – contra a vontade ou anuência expressa da vítima. Nestas estratégias incluem-se uma variedade de comportamentos sexualmente abusivos, tipicamente perpetrados mediante o recurso à manipulação verbal (argumentos continuados, falsas promessas, ameaças de terminar a relação ou ameaças do uso da força física) e/ou à agressão física.
O comportamento agressivo é desencadeado após um processo de avaliação complexo, no qual interagem as variáveis pessoais e situacionais, que aumentam ou diminuem o nível de ativação necessário para impulsionar esse comportamento. Sabe-se que as variáveis pessoais como a personalidade, formam o potencial individual de agressão, dirigindo o comportamento, porém a sua relação na explicação da coerção sexual carece de mais estudos.
O objetivo principal deste estudo é contribuir para a caracterização dos comportamentos de coerção sexual dos estudantes universitários portugueses, tendo como base explicativa o modelo Big Five e Dark Tetrad.
O estudo foi realizado com 112 estudantes universitários com idades entre os 18 e os 30 anos de idade. Para análise, utilizou-se o software IBM SPSS Statistics e o software AMOS.
A personalidade medida parece ter poder explicativo no que diz respeito ao facto de o indivíduo adotar um papel de perpetuação ou um papel de vitimização. Porém, o papel dos indivíduos é misto, portanto, ambos explicam quase de forma semelhante os dois perfis. No presente estudo, foi possível observar que os traços de personalidade Neuroticismo e o Sadismo são os que mais predizem o uso de violência entre parceiros íntimos. Por outro lado, a Abertura à Experiência e a Amabilidade estão associadas ao papel de vítima.
The term sexual coercion is used to refer to multiple strategies used for an end – sexual relations – against the victim's expressed will or consent. These strategies include a variety of sexually abusive behaviors, typically perpetrated through the use of verbal manipulation (continued arguments, false promises, threats to end the relationship or threats of the use of physical force) and/or physical aggression. Aggressive behavior is triggered after a complex assessment process, in which the personal and situational variables interact, which increase or decrease the level of activation necessary to boost this behavior. It is known that personal variables, such as personality, form the individual potential for aggression, directing behavior, but its relationship in explaining sexual coercion needs further studies. The main objective of this study is to contribute to the characterization of the sexual coercion behaviors of Portuguese university students, based on the Big Five and Dark Tetrad model. The study was carried out with 112 university students aged between 18 and 30 years old. For analysis, the IBM SPSS Statistics software and the AMOS software were used. The measured personality seems to have explanatory power with regard to the fact that the individual adopts a perpetuation role or a victimization role. However, the role of individuals is mixed, so both explain the two profiles almost similarly. In the present study, it was possible to observe that the personality traits Neuroticism and Sadism are the ones that most predict the use of violence between intimate partners. On the other hand, Openness to Experience and Kindness are associated with the role of victim.
