“…One hundred and seven respondents (54.9 per cent) answered 'no' to this question, an alarmingly high percentage in view of the prevalence of the vignette format in eliciting attributions and other judgements about rape victims. The methodological implications of this finding are discussed in more detail elsewhere (Krahe, 1991).…”

“…Importa ainda reflectir sobre os estudos que procuraram perceber o tipo de informação que as pessoas tendem a considerar na formulação de julgamentos atribucionais face à violação. Krahé (1991), por exemplo, registou como variáveis frequentemente consideradas: "o grau de resistência da vítima, o consumo de álcool ou existência de lesões físicas, a ameaça ou uso de uma arma por parte do violador e as circunstâncias em que a violação ocorreu (incluindo a hora do dia e o local da agressão)" (p. 227). Outros estudos sustentam que factores como a ausência ou presença de resistência por parte da vítima (Ong et al, 1999) ou as relações entre a vítima e o perpetrador (Bell et al, 1994;Monson et al, 1996) podem influenciar estas atitudes, sendo que a probabilidade de a vítima ser responsabilizada pela sua vitimação é elevada quando ela é conhecida do violador (Bell et al, 1994;Bridges & Mcgrail, 1989).…”

“…The explanation for the evidence reported is not immediate: on the one hand, unattractive victims may be blamed for the attack because they are seen as unlikely targets, which may mean that they encouraged or provoked the situation (Deitz et al, 1984, DeJong, 1999Krahè, 1991); on the other hand, the occurrence of positive feelings towards attractive victims may elicit a greater desire to support the victim and to punish the offender (Erian, Lin, Patel, Neal & Geiselman, 1998). Whatever the reasons, the social advantages of attractive individuals may be explained by the halo effect, whereby the perception of one trait affects the perception of other traits (Shinners, 2009).…”

“…Unlike other crime victims, sexually victimized women are often stigmatized and judged as being responsible for their own fate (Angelone, Mitchell, & Lucente, 2012;Grubb & Turner, 2012;Krahè, 1991;Rebeiz & Harb, 2010). These common misconceptions are part of a long-tradition of blaming that keeps the victims from reporting the crime (Gregory & Lees, 1999;Kelly, 2002).…”
