Social Perception of Rape Victims in Dating and Married Relationships: The Role of Perpetrator’s Benevolent Sexism

Abstract

Two hypothetical scenario studies examined how situational, perpetrator, and observer factors affect blame towards rape victims. In Study 1, Spanish high school students (N=206) read about a rape committed by a boyfriend or husband who was described as benevolently sexist or not. Study 2 (N=201 British college students) replicated and extended Study 1 by adding a condition in which the rapist was described as a hostile sexist. In both studies, participants' benevolent sexism scores predicted more victim blame when the rapist was described as a husband (but not a boyfriend) who held benevolently sexist attitudes. Study 2 showed that participants' hostile sexism scores predicted more victim blame when the rapist was described as a hostile sexist.

“…De acuerdo con lo señalado por estudios previos (Martín et al, 2016;Torres, Robles y De Marco, 2013) Por otro lado, al igual que las evidencias halladas en violencia hacia las mujeres offline (Abrams et al, 2003;Durán, 2010;Prior et al, 1995;Russell y Trigg, 2004) Aunque esta investigación aporta resultados interesantes y novedosos, no está exenta de limitaciones.…”

“…Las actitudes sexistas, por otra parte, se han relacionado con la conducta agresiva y con la justificación de la misma tanto en entornos escolares como en relaciones de pareja (Arenas, 2013;Carretero, 2011; Chiung-Tao, Yu-Lung y Gao, 2012; De la Peña et al, 2011;Durán, 2010;Malonda, 2014;Ovejero, Yubero, Larrañaga y Navarro, 2013). Asumir creencias sexistas supone adoptar una actitud hacia cualquier persona en virtud de su pertenencia a uno de los grupos basados en el sexo biológico (Expósito, Moya y Glick, 1998 (Glick y Fiske, 1996).…”

Influence of Victim and Perpetrators’ Alcohol Use on Social Work Student’s Levels of Rape Myth Acceptance

“…These results are significant because they suggest that at least a portion of respondents have internalized these rape myths. Women who endorse rape myths are less likely to acknowledge an incident that meets the definition of sexual assault as rape, to report it, or to seek treatment due to their own shame and guilt (Duran, Moya, Megias, & Viki, 2010). Even among social work students, there may be a portion of students who do not identify an incident as rape and therefore may not report the incident or seek help.…”

“…Raziskovalci (npr. Abrams, Masser in Bohner, 2003;Duran, Moya, Megias in Viki, 2010;Russell in Trigg, 2004;Viki in Abrams, 2002;Viki, Abrams in Masser, 2004) konsistentno ugotavljajo, da so posamezniki, ki dosegajo visoke rezultate na lestvici dobronamernega seksizma, bolj nagnjeni k pripisovanju krivde žrtvam spolne zlorabe v primerih, ko je storilec znanec žrtve (še posebej, če je žrtvin partner ali zakonec). Pripisovanje krivde žrtvi spolne zlorabe je odvisno tudi od zaznanega kršenja spolnih norm s strani žrtve (npr.…”
