The Sexual Experiences Survey-Victimization (SES-V; see Koss et al., 2024) revises the prior 2007 Sexual Experiences Survey-Short Form Victimization (SES-SFV) in many ways, including expanded measurement of verbally pressured and illegal sexual exploitation, as well as the addition of items that assess being made to perform a sexual act or to penetrate another person sexually. The current article describes two initial validity studies of the SES-V. Study 1 compared rates of self-reported verbal pressure and illegal sexual exploitation (e.g. rape) on a preliminary version of the SES-V and the SES-SFV in a sample of higher education students who completed both questionnaires online in a randomized order (N = 460). As expected, the preliminary SES-V produced higher rates than the SES-SFV, and continuous scores were strongly correlated. Responses to the made-to-penetrate (MTP) items suggested that some cisgender men and women may have misunderstood those items. Study 2 explored responses to the MTP items further by randomly assigning participants to complete items with either the Study 1 MTP language (n = 269) or revised language (n = 245). The revised language produced fewer implausible responses and was adopted in the final version of the SES-V. These findings provide initial support for the validity of the SES-V and the value of expanding the conceptualization of victimization to include a wider range of sexual exploitation. A research agenda for future validity research is suggested.

性经历调查受害的口头压力和非法性剥削模块有效性的初步证据。


性经历调查-受害（SES-V;见 Koss 等人，2024 年）在许多方面修订了之前的 2007 年性经历调查-简式受害 （SES-SFV），包括扩大对口头压力和非法性剥削的测量，以及增加评估被强迫进行性行为或对他人进行性插入的项目。本文介绍了 SES-V 的两项初步有效性研究。研究 1 比较了以随机顺序在线完成两份问卷的高等教育学生样本 （N = 460） 在 SES-V 和 SES-SFV 初步版本上自我报告的言语压力和非法性剥削（例如强奸）的比率。正如预期的那样，初步 SES-V 产生的比率高于 SES-SFV，并且连续评分具有很强的相关性。对 made-to-penetrate （MTP） 项目的回答表明，一些顺性别男性和女性可能误解了这些项目。研究 2 通过随机分配参与者使用研究 1 MTP 语言 （n = 269） 或修订后的语言 （n = 245） 完成项目，进一步探讨了对 MTP 项目的反应。修订后的语言产生了更少的难以置信的回答，并在 SES-V 的最终版本中被采用。这些发现为 SES-V 的有效性以及扩大受害概念化以包括更广泛的性剥削的价值提供了初步支持。提出了未来有效性研究的研究议程。
