Item Sexual Experiences Survey–Long Form Perpetration (SES-LFP)(University of Arizona, 2006) Koss, Mary P.; Sexual Experiences Survey CollaborationThe Sexual Experiences Survey, Perpetrator (SES-P) was designed to measure perpetration of unwanted sexual experiences. The survey measures how individuals use different techniques to obtain sex from an unwilling victim. Although the original survey was intended to measure victimization, it was adapted to measure perpetration. Respondents are categorized into the following; non-perpetrator, unwanted sexual contact, attempted coercion, coercion, attempted rape, and rape. Both long and short forms of the SES-P are attached.The original SES was developed by Dr. Koss and Dr. Oros in 1982 and has been revised by Dr. Koss and the SES Collaboration to improve reliability and validity. The short form includes 10 questions asking how many times within the past year that participants had used a technique. The long form includes 21 questions. Participants are asked more details about the context in which their event occurred such as the use of date rape drugs or alcohol to incapacitate the victim, the use of threats, use pf physical force or weapons, and assaults involving multiple offenders. The long form also includes questions about attempted sexual assaults. (CVRL Abstract).

Sexual assault is often unreported, so studies of crime are misleading. Self-report surveys allow a better estimate of the rate of sexual assault. The use of behaviorally specific questions also captures cases where the victim does not define their experience as a crime, but it meets the legal definition of one. The survey also includes that are not technically illegal under current laws but are unwanted, such as verbal coercion without threats. Participants’ experiences are classified into one of five categories: no victimization, coercion, noncontact, contact, attempted rape, and rape. Both long and short forms of the SES are attached. The original SES was developed by Dr. Koss and Dr. Oros in 1982 and has been revised by Dr. Koss and the SES Collaboration to improve reliability and validity. The instrument has been revised and adapted to changes in law and policies related to sexual victimization, such as changes in the definitions of rape and sexual assault, to better capture unwanted sexual experiences. It has evolved to become one of the most widely used measure of sexual victimization. The short form includes 10 questions asking how many times within the past year that participants had experienced each event. The long form includes 21 questions. The first 10 are the same as those in the short form, but the survey goes on to ask about experiences both within the past 12 months and since age 14. Participants are also asked more details about the context in which their experience occurred such as the use of date rape drugs or alcohol to incapacitate the victim, the use of threats, use pf physical force or weapons, and assaults involving multiple offenders. The long form also includes questions about attempted sexual assaults. (CVRL Abstract). [CVRL Note]: This instrument is related to the Sexual Experiences Survey-Perpetration, short and long forms.
