|a It has been proposed that an observer’s perception of what constitutes rape can vary as a function of gender, level of rape-myth acceptance, and the nature of the victim perpetrator relationship prior to the assault. Participants read three rape scenarios involving a marital, stranger and an acquaintance rape situation and rated the responsibility of the rape for the victim and assailant, the psychological impact on the victim, and the credibility of the victim’s police report. Results showed that men and women seem to hold similar levels of rape myth acceptance. However, participants responded to the scenarios according to the perceived nature of the victim-perpetrator relationship. The implications of how societal views impact victims and perpetrators of rape situations are discussed. |
