“…The lexicographical definitions also associate regret with distress or longing for something lost (OED, 1991) or with "a sense of loss or feeling of having done wrong" (Chambers, 1998), which suggests that regret has at least two distinct causes; loss and wrongdoing. This view is consistent with some cognitive approaches to emotion which show loss to be a core feature of sadness, and self-blame to be the core feature of guilt (Smith & Lazarus, 1993). It may be then that two broad categories of regret might be those of a pragmatic nature to do with lost opportunities, and those that reflect on the character through interpersonal or intrapersonal wrongdoing.…”

“…These findings help us understand how a woman may have abstract knowledge about the general risk to women of sexual aggression by an acquaintance, but appraise her own risk as low and her individual capacity to handle a threat as high (Cue & George, 1995;Norris, Nurius, & Graham, 1995; relative to more general stress and coping, see Smith & Lazarus, 1993). Interventions designed to increase perceived susceptibility by decreasing optimism, positive self-regard, and perceived control run the risk of eroding a significant mental health asset and fostering a dangerous combination of high fear and low perceived self-efficacy.…”

“…In examinations of cognitive mediation of coping responses to threat, two sets of cognitive processes have been identified: (a) primary appraisals, in which an event is judged to pose personal threat and the nature of that threat and (b) secondary appraisals, which invoke judgments of one's capacity to deal with the identified threat (Lazarus & Folkman, 1984;Smith & Lazarus, 1990). Appraisals stem in part from the individual's current predominant goals and beliefs, and result in interpretations and emotional states that mobilize coping in a manner consistent with those interpretations and emotions (Smith & Lazarus, 1993).…”

Beliefs that people hold about sources of harm and their personal susceptibility to harm have been shown to play an important role in their subsequent self-protection. With respect to acquaintance sexual aggression, women generally report low levels of perceived personal risk and, thus, low level preparedness to prevent or protect against this form of threat. In order to develop effective resistance efforts, a more complete understanding is needed of factors that shape perception of risk and how these factors are likely to influence-both positively and negatively-women's risk reduction and self-protection. This article addresses this need by reviewing recent literature on risk perception and identifying relevant applications of theory and findings to women's perception of risk for acquaintance sexual aggression. KeywordsAcquaintance sexual aggression; risk perception; social cognition Distinctions between risk perception at the population and individual levels are easily blurred, which has a bearing on whether risk data are properly interpreted, whether conceptual models are appropriate, and whether intervention and policy strategies are likely to be effective. This article focuses on individual level perception, the special challenges of perceiving personal risk of acquaintance assault within the contexts of heterosexual dating and socializing, and a social cognitive analysis of factors most likely to influence risk perception. Although women are particularly vulnerable to being blamed for assaults on them that occur in heterosexual social contexts, it must be noted that acquaintance sexual aggression is by no means limited to social situations or social relationships, that acquaintance sexual aggression also occurs between same sex individuals, and that actual prevention entails cessation of the perpetration of aggression. Focus on risk perception entails the danger of shifting responsibility of aggressive male perpetrators' behavior onto women victims. Rather than personal inadequacies or failings, the factors discussed here are normative phenomena typical of human perception in general and have been demonstrated to affect health and safety in other domains. Thus, appropriately applied, attention to
