This study investigates how feedback from a partner during social interactions can affect decisions related to sexually coercive behavior. It looks at how being interested or uninterested in a partner's feedback during these interactions influences such decisions. The study also examines the role of alcohol, individual differences in managing emotions, expectations about sexual activity, and personal evaluations based on a written scenario.
