“…Other researchers have also found that angry and distrustful feelings towards women may be a factor in sexual aggression, though the results are mixed regarding sexual coercion (e.g., Abbey et al, 2001;Byers & Eno, 1991;Calhoun et al, 1997;Malamuth, Heavey, & Linz, 1993). In addition, studies of various negative attitudes toward women (e.g., Spence, Helrnreich, & St.app, 1973) and cognitive distortions associated with sexual offending (e.g., Bumby, 1996) have been linked to these behaviors with some consistency. Together, these studies suggest that a wide range of attitudes and beliefs may be integral to the etiology of sexual coercion.…”
