Popis: The present study directly compared sexual and aggressive motives for sexual aggression in Chinese college students. One hundred and forty-six males completed self-reported measures of sex and aggressive drives, sex and aggressive guilt, social desirability response set, and history of coercive sexuality. As expected, sex guilt and aggressive guilt acted as inhibitors of their respective drives. In this sample, sexual aggression appeared to result from aggressive rather than sexual motives. A comparison with similar research in a North American sample suggests that motives for sexual aggression may be moderated by cultural differences in general aggressiveness, sex guilt, and the social desirability of aggressive behavior.
