This study investigated the relationship between women’s sexual victimization experiences and their perceptions of sexual interest for an actor’s mundane, romantic, and sexual behaviors. Three hundred twenty-nine undergraduate women were divided into four mutually exclusive categories: women sexually victimized through verbal coercion, through intoxication, through force or threat of force, and women who reported only consensual sexual experiences. The women rated the sexual connotativeness of a list of dating behaviors, rating either a male or a female actor. Overall, women perceived more sexual interest in men’s behavior than in women’s comparable behavior. Moreover, women who had been victimized through force or threat of force perceived more sexual interest than nonvictimized women in a man’s target behaviors. There was no difference among women for a woman’s target behaviors. Women who have been sexually victimized may become more vigilant of men’s behaviors after experiencing sexual aggression.

Abstract. This study investigated the mediating role of coping humor in the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and job satisfaction. Participants were 398 primary school teachers in China, who completed the Wong Law Emotional Intelligence Scale, Coping Humor Scale, and Overall Job Satisfaction Scale. Results showed that coping humor was a significant mediator between EI and job satisfaction. A further examination revealed, however, that coping humor only mediated two sub-dimensions of EI (use of emotion and regulation of emotion) and job satisfaction. Implications for future research and limitations of the study are discussed.
