  • Title: The Association Between Sexually Aggressive Cognitions and Pathological Personality Traits in Men.
    Author: Kasowski AE, Anderson JL.
    Journal: Violence Against Women; 2020 Oct; 26(12-13):1636-1655. PubMed ID: 31558117.
    Abstract:
    Sexual aggression, harassment, and sexually aggressive cognitions (victim blaming, sexual entitlement) are serious societal problems. Although research has examined attributes of individuals who engage in overt sexual assault, few studies have focused on individual characteristics of those who perpetuate problematic negative beliefs surrounding sexual assault. This study sought to examine the relationship between pathological personality and sexually aggressive cognitions among 242 community men. Results showed that traits including antagonism, disinhibition, and negative affectivity were associated with sexually aggressive cognitions. These results have implications for understanding sexual aggression and the role personality plays in perpetuating sexually aggressive attitudes.
