  Denying Rape but Endorsing Forceful Intercourse: Exploring Differences Among Responders.

  Verlin Hinsz

  Sexual assault is a problem on many college campuses

  and many researchers have conducted studies assessing the prevalence of sexual assault perpetration and intentions to be coercive. Behaviorally descriptive survey items (i.e.

  “Have you ever coerced somebody to intercourse by holding them down?”) versus labeling survey items (i.e.

  “Have you ever raped somebody?”) will yield different responses

  in that more men will admit to sexually coercive behaviors and more women will self-report victimization when behavioral descriptions are used (Koss 1998) instead of labels. Indeed

  some men will endorse items asking whether they have used force to obtain intercourse

  but will deny having raped a woman. There has been little research on differences between individuals to endorse a behaviorally descriptive item versus a labeling item. The present study uses discriminant function analysis to separate men who do not report intentions to be sexually coercive

  those who endorse behaviorally descriptive intentions but deny it when the word rape is used

  and those who endorse intentions to rape outright. Results indicated that participants can be differentiated into three groups based on scores from scales on hypermasculinity and hostility toward women. High hostility toward woman and callous sexual attitudes separated the no intentions group from those who endorsed either intentions to rape or those who endorses only the behavioral description of rape. The two types of offender groups were distinguishable mostly by varying levels of hostility

  suggesting that men who endorse using force to obtain intercourse on survey items but deny rape on the same may not experience hostile affect in response to women

  but might have dispositions more in line with benevolent sexism.
