“…However much like it is not clear whether students understand consent in the same way that researchers understand it, they also may not fully understand the implicit connotations of “freely given” agreement. Students may not fully understand coercion in this context (Palermo et al, 2022; Thomas et al, 2017): some may normalize coercive behavior and view it as part of the dating process (Burkett & Hamilton, 2012; Romero-Sánchez & Megías, 2015); others may not view coerced sexual experiences as related to sexual violence because there is no physical violence inflicted (Cleere & Lynn, 2013; Jeffrey & Barata, 2017).…”

Lack of sexual consent forms the foundation of unwanted (and nonconsensual) sexual experiences (USEs), yet research suggests it is not well understood amongst university students. While the prevalence of USEs has been well documented within the university context, less is known about how sexual consent is defined or measured. This review aims to identify a consistent sexual consent definition and how current research examining USEs defines and measures sexual consent amongst university students. A systematic review of nine electronic databases (2000–2022) was conducted, and the results were assessed against inclusion criteria (e.g., studies had to focus exclusively on university students). Thirty-three articles were identified and reviewed against the study aims. Sexual consent was more often implicitly defined across measures and articles. Four themes were identified (incapacitation, use of force, use of threats, and lack of wantedness) across the implicit definitions but varied by study with some implicitly defining sexual consent within the context of a relationship. Only three studies explicitly defined sexual consent, referring to it as a willingness to engage in sexual behavior. Measures assessed sexual consent communication or, attitudes and behaviors that might predict sexual aggression. Two studies examined students’ individual sexual consent conceptualizations. Sexual consent appears to be contextual so future research should examine the variability of sexual consent in student samples. Students may indeed rely on implicit sexual consent definitions (rather than explicit) but more research is needed. Lastly, researchers should take care to be clear on their sexual consent definitions, both in text and within measures.

El artículo problematiza el consentimiento afectivo y sexual desde las voces de mujeres estudiantes de educación superior chilenas. Para ello, se realiza una investigación cualitativa que analiza sus narrativas sobre violencia sexual y femicidio, compartidas a través de grupos de discusión. Los principales resultados dan cuenta de que las estudiantes se sienten vulneradas en sus contextos privados y públicos, toda vez que, en la cultura patriarcal, están naturalizadas formas y estilos de relación que invisibilizan y menoscaban el consentimiento de las jóvenes, sintiendo, además, que el peligro de sufrir violencia se estrecha a los espacios familiares, académicos y sexoafectivos.
