Explanatory models of sexual aggression were examined among mainland Asian Americans (N = 222), Hawaiian Asian American (N = 127), and European American men (N = 399). The Malamuth et al. (1991, 1995) confluence model of sexual aggression, which posits impersonal sex and hostile masculinity as paths to sexual aggression, was consistently supported. Culture-specific moderators of sexual aggression were also identified. Whereas loss of face was a protective factor against sexual aggression in the Asian American samples, it generally was not a protective factor among European Americans. These findings are not a function of actual or perceived minority status. An implication is that theoretical models may need to be augmented with cultural constructs for optimal application in certain ethnic group contexts.
