Gender Difference in Evaluating the Behavior Patterns of Who Were Rejected When Sexual Advances and the Level of Consent to Sexual Relations by Persuasion : Focusing on Romantic Relationship

Abstract

his study examined sexual communication in romantic relationship focusing on the patterns of behavior of those whose sexual advances have been rejected. Study 1 investigated the behavior patterns of those who were rejected when making sexual advances by using a romantic relationship scenario. Study 2 explored how participants predicted the behavior patterns of those who were rejected depending on the gender of the rejectee. We also analyzed how participants evaluated the level of consent to sexual relations depending on the viewpoint of those who made the sexual advance or those who compliance, when the sexual relations by persuasion. The behavior patterns of those who were rejected were classified into five factors including ‘showing discomfort and manipulation’, ‘concern about changes in relationship’, ‘approach and persuasion’, ‘respect and acceptance’, and ‘consideration of feeling.’ In condition where the man was rejected, male participants were most likely to do ‘respect and acceptance’ behavior, whereas female participants were most likely to do ‘approach and persuasion’ behavior. In condition where the woman was rejected, both male and female participants were likely to do ‘respect and acceptance’ behavior. In condition where man had a sexual relation with women through persuasion, female participants rated the perceived women's level of consent who complied with the sexual relations lower than male participants. They also rated the men's perceived women's level of consent higher than male participants. In condition where woman had a sexual relation with men through persuasion, the male participants rated the perceived man's level of consent who complied with the sexual relations higher than female counterparts. Such results were discussed in sexual scripts and cognitive dissonance, and suggested of the risk of date rape.
