This study examined the links between young adults’ traumatic experiences, types of aggression, attitude towards women and sexuality in young adults. It has been assumed that if an individual possesses negative attitude towards women; also has a permissive and instrumental sexual attitude and exhibits high physical aggression tendencies, then he/she might be a potent risk towards women in the society in the future.
Through this study, I tried to find whether one’s past traumatic experiences affect his/her attitude toward others in general and towards women in particular. If past traumatic experiences like enduring emotional neglect or abuse or even witnessing others undergo trauma impact the existing aggression levels and attitude towards women and sexual acts of young adults, it calls for examining such impact. Findings of studies in this direction may help us to identify such people and, therefore, appropriate measure would be taken.

That’s usually normal and it might be cute and reassuring that they care about you and they just want you to be theirs.

Among the characteristics of the offenders under investigation, it appeared that offenders “emerged as intellectually low in the average functioning group, with a high prevalence of psychiatric or personality disorders, a high prevalence of neglect and (especially sexual) abuse” (Wijkman, Bijleveld, Hendriks, 2010). From the conducted study, it was also evident that the victims of the offenders were relatively young (median age 13) and mostly of the female sex. In 93% of the cases, the victim was either an own child, a relative’s child or an acquaintance. Often, the abuse was carried out with a male partner (Wijkman, Bijleveld, Hendriks,

The purpose thus is to question as to how human aggression may be inter-related to psychological constructs, such as anger, hostility, and impulsivity, and on the understanding that a design approach that would be of fundamental for diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of hostile
