Experimentation with alcohol and sexuality is a normative aspect of adolescent development. Yet, both present distinct risks to adolescent females and are especially problematic when they intersect. Although youth are often cautioned about the dangers associated with having sex and using alcohol, popular entertainment media frequently depict the…

Bay-Cheng, Laina Y.; Livingston, Jennifer A.; Fava, Nicole M. – Youth & Society, 2011
We conducted focus groups with girls ages 14 to 17 (N = 43) to study how the dominant discourse of sexual risk shapes young women's understanding of the sexual domain and their management of these presumably pervasive threats. Through inductive analysis, we developed a coding scheme focused on three themes: (a) "types of sexual risk,"…

Testa, Maria; Hoffman, Joseph H.; Livingston, Jennifer A. – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 2010
Objective: Women who experience sexual victimization, whether in childhood, adolescence, or adulthood, are at elevated risk of sexual revictimization. The mechanism responsible for this robust association is unclear, however. The present study proposed and tested a prospective, mediated model that posited that the association between adolescent…

Livingston, Jennifer A.; Hequembourg, Amy; Testa, Maria; VanZile-Tamsen, Carol – Psychology of Women Quarterly, 2007
This study explored females' adolescent experiences with sexual aggression using event-level data. A community sample of women, ages 18 to 30 years (N = 319), were interviewed regarding their most recent unwanted sexual experience. Incidents were categorized as occurring during adolescence (ages 14 to 17) or adulthood (after age 18). Preliminary…

This study used qualitative and descriptive statistics to examine verbal sexual coercion experiences among a community sample of 114 women and explored the role of sexual precedence in these experiences. Analyses revealed…

Prospective Prediction of Women's Sexual Victimization by Intimate and Nonintimate Male Perpetrators
Testa, Maria; VanZile-Tamsen, Carol; Livingston, Jennifer A. – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 2007
Although behavioral risk factors such as substance use have been hypothesized to increase women's vulnerability to sexual victimization, prospective studies provide mixed empirical support. In the current prospective study, the authors considered substance use, sexual activity, and sexual assertiveness as predictors of sexual victimization from…

Testa, Maria; Livingston, Jennifer A.; VanZile-Tamsen, Carol – Psychology of Women Quarterly, 2005
Computer-administered self-interviewing (CASI) has been advocated as a way of over coming under reporting of sensitive sexual behaviors. The present study compared reports of consensual and nonconsensual sexual behaviors (including childhood and adulthood sexual victimization) among women using CASI (n=1014) versus a self-administered…

Testa, Maria; VanZile-Tamsen, Carol; Livingston, Jennifer A.; Koss, Mary P. – Psychology of Women Quarterly, 2004
In this study we examined the ability of a modified Sexual Experiences Survey (SES; Koss, Gidycz, & Wisniewski, 1987) to assess sexual victimization among a local community sample of women (n= 1,014). Women who reported sexual victimization were interviewed regarding the most recent incident. Those who responded negatively to all SES items…

Testa, Maria; VanZile-Tamsen, Carol; Livingston, Jennifer A. – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 2005
Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) has been proposed to influence both women's adult sexual risk behaviors and the quality of their intimate relationships. Among a household sample of women (n = 732), good fit was obtained for a model in which CSA predicted Wave 1 male partner sexual risk and aggression characteristics, resulting in lower relationship…
