“…Yamawaki and Tschanz (2005), for example, found that stranger rape was more likely than acquaintance rape to be defined as rape, and marital rape was less likely than acquaintance and date rape to be characterized as rape. When sexual assault occurs in the context of an intimate relationship, the perpetrator has been perceived as less responsible for misreading the situation (Kowalski, 1992) and his behavior has been viewed as more acceptable (Bostwick & DeLucia, 1992).…”

This study examined the moderating role of rape myth acceptance (RMA) and belief in a just world (BJW) on victim blame attribution in either an alleged stranger or date rape case. As hypothesized, RMA and BJW were both significant predictors of victim blame behavior for the Japanese college students who participated in the study. Further, Japanese participants blamed the victim of date rape more than the victim of the stranger rape. The similarities and differences between findings from this study and those from Western countries are discussed.

“…Empirical studies investigating sex differences in SA perceptions have demonstrated that men read greater sex willingness than women in a variety of behaviors (Bostwick & Delucia, 1992;Harris & Weiss, 1995;Hickman & Muehlenhard, 1999). For example, one study concluded, ''Without hearing a definite 'no,' men in particular seem to find any other 'shade of gray' [i.e., ambiguous or no verbal communication] difficult to interpret'' (Sawyer, Pinciaro, & Jessell, 1998).…”

This investigation focused on relationships among sexual assault, self-blame, and sexual revictimization. Among a female undergraduate sample of adolescent sexual assault victims, those endorsing greater self-blame following sexual assault were at increased risk for sexual revictimization during a 4.2-month follow-up period. Moreover, to the extent that sexual assault victims perceived nonconsensual sex is permitted by law, they were more likely to blame themselves for their own assaults. Discussion focuses on situating victim-based risk factors within sociocultural context.

“…Bridges and McGrail (1989), for example, found that stranger rape was more likely than acquaintance rape to be defined as rape, and Simonson and Subich (1999) found that marital rape was less likely than acquaintance and date rape to be characterized as rape (see also Basile, 2002). When sexual assault occurs in the context of an intimate relationship, the perpetrator has been perceived as less responsible for misreading the situation (Kowalski, 1992) and his behavior has been viewed as more acceptable (Bostwick & DeLucia, 1992). Moreover, sexual assaults that occur in intimate contexts have been viewed as relatively benign episodes with few adverse psychological consequences (Simonson & Subich, 1999).…”

This study was designed to examine the differences in rape perceptions between Japanese and American college students. It was found that the Japanese minimized the seriousness of rapes, blamed the victims, and excused the rapists more than did the Americans. Crosscultural differences in the gender role traditionality (GRT) were found to mediate these differences. GRT-mediated tendencies for increases in the intimacy between the victim and the perpetrator to be associated with increases in rape minimization and victim blame were also found. These latter tendencies were found to be greater among the Japanese than among the Americans. Gender differences in rape perception were also found among the Japanese participants.
