The Ludus love style, characterized by game-playing in relationships, significantly predicts sexual coercion in men. This finding links manipulative relationship orientations to sexually aggressive behaviors.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Criminology

Background:

  • Sexual aggression is a significant societal concern.
  • Understanding the psychological underpinnings of sexual coercion is crucial.
  • Existing research has explored various predictors of sexual aggression.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between theoretical love styles and sexual aggression.
  • To determine if specific love styles predict sexually coercive behavior in college men.
  • To explore the Ludus love style as a potential unifying construct for sexual aggression.

Main Methods:

  • A sample of 63 college men reported their sexual history.
  • Participants were categorized into consensual or verbally coercive sexual experience groups.

  • Logistic regression analyses utilized love style scales, likelihood to rape, sexual force, masculinity, and sociopathy.

    • Main Results:

    • The Ludus love style was the strongest predictor of sexual coercion among the six love styles examined.
    • Ludus love style effectively classified men as coercive or noncoercive, comparable to other aggression-related dispositions.
    • This suggests a link between a manipulative, game-playing approach to relationships and sexual coercion.

    Conclusions:

    • The Ludus love style may serve as a unifying construct for dispositions related to sexual aggression.
    • This study provides an initial link between sexually coercive behaviors and theoretical models of intimate relationships.
    • Findings are discussed within a situational model of sexual coercion.
