| An Evaluation of Sexually Aggressive Behavior Among Male Athletes |
| Previous research has indicated that male college athletes participate in more sexually aggressive and deviant acts than other college students not involved in sports. However, these previous findings were not supported in the current study. A problem that was identified is that all male college students participating in the study scored high in sexually aggressive and deviant behavior. This program will contain ideas regarding possible intervention strategies that may be considered in efforts to prevent sexually aggressive and deviant behavior by young college men. |
