Sexual Victimization | Perpetration, Sexual Risk Taking, Perceptions of Sexual Aggression, Substance Abuse,

My research agenda includes laboratory based experimental research examining 1) men’s engagement in sexually violent behavior, 2) men and women’s risk recognition for sexually inappropriate behaviors, and 3) observer perceptions of sexually assaultive behavior. I developed an alcohol administration laboratory to examine intoxication as a precursor to sexual decision-making. I also use survey-based methods to understand the correlates of sexually violent and risky behaviors, as well as factors related to successful substance abuse treatment and twelve-step engagement.
