An examination of gender role identity, sexual self-esteem, sexual coercion and sexual victimization in a university sample - Theresa C Kelly

The relationship between gender role identity, sexual self-esteem and sexual coercion was examined through a questionnaire. Participants were 84 undergraduate students from a university in Washington, DC. Contrary to what has been found in the literature, there were weak relationshps between sexual coercion and masculinity, and sexual coercion and sexual self-esteem. Participants were not sexually agressive and experienced little victimization. However, there were gender differences in terms of coercion, victimization, gender role identity and sexual self-esteem.
