Abstract: Examines correlations between psychopathic traits and forms of self-reported sexual aggression in college men (N=378), as well as the relationship between sexual aggression and components of psychopathy. Results indicate that measures of both dimensions of psychopathy, identified in previous research, accounted for variance in self-reports of sexual aggression. (RJM)
