Victims of sexual coercion have reported emotional and physical trauma that can take years to heal. The vulnerability to sexual coercion as an adult has been linked to prior sexual abuse and onset of sexual activity. However, researchers have not examined the role of adult attachment style among perpetrators of sexual coercion. According to attachment theory, there is an underlying stability from childhood attachments to those formed as adults, although environmental factors can alter the attachment style of that individual to a romantic adult partner. To address this gap, the purpose of this study was to examine relationships between adult attachment style and sexual coercion in participants surveyed through the social media network Facebook. A quantitative research design using logistic multiple regression analysis was used to study 3 research questions about the relationships between adult attachment style, previous sexual abuse, age of sexual onset, and the use of 5 dimensions of sexual coercion. Because of low male response, only women's responses were analyzed. Significant relationships were found for romantic attachment and sexual coercion. Anxious attachment to the romantic partner predicted the use of sexual coercion such that as the attachment score increased so did the likelihood of use of sexual coercion. Prior sexual abuse was not a significant predictor, while age of sexual onset was a negative, significant predictor, such that as age of sexual onset decreased, the likelihood of sexual coercion increased. The results of this study provide some theoretical insight into the influence of adult attachment style on sexually coercive behavior. Opportunities for positive social change include promoting attachment theory and assessment tools for therapists who work with sexually coercive clients or those who are victims of sexual coercion.
