요약 | Roughly 1 in 5 college women are sexually victimized, with freshmen year associated with the greatest risk. Sexual victimization (SV) often involves social settings and alcohol, although little else is known about how or why college contexts elevate risk. Routine Activity Theory (RAT) posits that risk can increase in contexts where there is exposure to potential perpetrators, target vulnerability, and a lack of capable guardians. RAT offers a helpful framework for describing contextual risk, but does not account for how individuals move into risky contexts. Two pathways that may facilitate female freshmen's risky context involvement were examined: (1) risk orientation deficits (i.e., difficulty assessing risk) and (2) reward orientation (i.e., propensity to focus on reward over risk). Lab-based assessments of risk pathways have been developed, but few studies have prospectively linked this method to real world behaviors. Moreover, little is known about risk or reward at the daily level. Given the role of alcohol in college socializing, the process of assessing risk and reward within naturally occurring contexts may be influenced by drinking. This dissertation sought to fill these gaps by examining whether and how contextual risk in the college context elevates vulnerability for unwanted sexual experiences (USE) and the individual characteristics that draw female freshmen to risky contexts. A total of 122 first-year female college drinkers were recruited to participate in a lab session and eight consecutive weekends of online surveys. To assess contextual risk, a daily measure based on RAT (Daily Contextual Risk Questionnaire |
