Young, B.-R., Sarah L Desmarais, Julie A Baldwin, Rasheeta Chandler. (2016) ‘Sexual coercion practices among undergraduate male recreational athletes, intercollegiate athletes, and non-athletes’, Violence Against Women, , p. 1077801216651339. doi: 10.1177/1077801216651339.

3) Summary: This article discusses the idea of sexual coercion and addressing rape myths to prove the idea the male athletes have a correlation with rape. It brings in the results and it shows the differences in the results on various topics including sexual coercion and women between athletes and non-athletes.

4) There are four authors for this article:
Belinda-rose Young- She is a research assistant for The Florida Prevention Research Center where she specializes in mental health, sexual violence and HIV/AIDS
Sarah L. Desmarais- She is health psychology professor at the university of North Carolina State, she focuses on Criminal psychology and violence prevention.
Julie A. Baldwin- She works in the Health Sciences department at North Arizona University where she has expertise in HIV/AIDS and Research on Health.
Rasheeta Chandler- She works in the school of nursing at Emory University.
5) Key Terms:
1) Sexual coercion: sexual coercion is the act of using pressure, alcohol or drugs, or force to have sexual contact with someone against his or her will and includes persistent attempts to have sexual contact with someone who has already refused.
2) Rape myth: they are attitudes and beliefs about rape and sexual assault that helps fuel rape culture.

6) Quotes: 
1) "In this context, rape myth acceptance-the approval of 'beliefs and situational definitions that excuse rape of define assaultive situations as something other than rape"' (pages 3-4)
2) "Indeed, recreational athletes are exposed to risk factors for sexual violence similar to intercollegiate athletes and, thus, also may be at heightened risk for sexual violence perpetration" (page 3).
3) "18. 3% American women have experienced forced sex during the lifetime" (Page 2)

7) Value: This source adds value to my paper because it describes that there are methods of force used by athletes to get women to have sex with them. It proves that they can rape at a higher rate than non male athletes.
