Abstract:
The current study sought to assess the impact of the race, gender, and ethnicity of rape victims on college students’ propensity to assign culpability to victims. Using a sample of college students (n=279) from a mid-sized Southeastern university, respondents were given a set of six different vignettes, varying only by victim characteristics. These vignettes featured alcohol-facilitated sexual assault between acquaintances, a common occurrence in college environments. Respondents were asked to evaluate the culpability of the victim through a blameworthiness scale. Through the incorporation of the Illinois Rape Myth Acceptance Scale, this study also measured the respondents’ propensity to assign blame to female rape victims and to alleviate male perpetrators of any responsibility. Results indicated that adherence to rape myth acceptance was a more significant predictor of blameworthiness than victim or respondent characteristics. This exploratory study was designed to add to the growing body of literature examining attitudes toward acquaintance rape.

Abstract:
This study investigated the impact of victim provocativeness and rape history upon male and female subjects' perceptions of attribution of blame toward the rape victim. One hundred and forty-four subjects (a) read one of 12 fictional case reports of a rape incident from a sexual abuse center which systematically varied level of victim provocativeness and rape history and (b) completed a nine-item Rape Questionnaire (RQ). Data were analyzed by a 2 (subject's sex) x 3 (level of provocativeness) x 2 (rape history) analysis of variance on the Rape Questionnaire total score. An ancillary multiple analysis of variance (MANOVA) was also performed on the nine Rape Questionnaire items to check for potential masking of individual item differences from the Rape Questionnaire score. In addition, the data were reanalyzed in the 2 x 3 x 2 design by substituting high versus low scorers on the Attitudes Towards Women Scale (AWS) based upon median splits of the AWS for subject sex. The 2 (subject sex) x 3 (provocativeness) x 2 (rape history) MANOVA resulted in a sex by provocativeness interaction with males, relative to females, attributing more blame as the victim's level of provocativeness increased. In addition, significant differences emerged for provocativeness, rape history, and sex of subject. In general, subjects attributed more blame as the victim's provocativeness increased. Similarly, victims with rape histories were assigned more blame than victims without rape histories. The 2 (AWS) x 3 (provocativeness) x 2 (rape history) MANOVA resulted in a main effect for all three independent variables. In general subjects attributed more blame as the victim's provocativeness increased. Also victims with rape histories were assigned more blame than victims without rape histories. Finally, profeminist individuals attributed less blame to the victim than did traditional individuals. Implications for training of professional counselors and other service-providers are discussed. Future research directions are also noted.

Abstract:
This study was designed to investigate individual characteristics of college students (i.e., attitudes toward women and heterosexual relationships and acceptance of interpersonal violence) and ascertain the relationship between individual characteristics, gender, and attitudes toward attribution of blame in acquaintance rape. Whereas no instruments had been developed to measure attitudes toward attribution of blame in acquaintance rape, this study sought to create such a measure. Students from a large Southwestern university were utilized as participants (N = 159). Four dependent measures were employed: the Attitudes Toward Women Scale: Short Form, the Heterosexual Relationships Scale, the Acceptance of Interpersonal Violence Scale, and the contrived Attitudes of Acquaintance Rape Blame Scale (AARBS). Analyses of variance found that gender, sexist attitudes toward male-female relationships, traditional attitudes toward women, and high acceptance of interpersonal violence led to more traditional assignment of blame in cases of acquaintance rape (i.e., blame the woman).

Full text
Abstract:
Raters' response toward victim and perpetrators in the context of rape is examined. More blame is attributed to a female than a male victim by all raters, particularly if the female victim is described only as being raped. Detailed description of different forms of injury resulting from the rape tends to act as a mediating factor in the amount of blame assigned to victims. Whereas the delineation of injury tends to decrease the amount of blame assigned to the female victim, this pattern is reversed for the male. Raters also claim a physically injured rape victim would require a substantially longer recuperation time than one whose injuries are psychological or unspecified.

Abstract:
The relationship between blame attribution, characterological and behavioral blame, and rape and prostitution myth acceptance was investigated. After reviewing an incident report of a sexual assault in which the victim was portrayed as either a prostitute, bank teller, or nun, 291 college-aged participants rated their level of agreement with rape myths and prostitution myths. They also assigned blame to the victim and/or perpetrator of the sexual assault. Results indicated that as rape and prostitution myth acceptance increased, victim blame increased and perpetrator blame decreased. Participants tended to blame the victimized prostitute more for the assault than the victimized bank teller and nun; similarly, participants tended to blame the perpetrator of the nun and bank teller more than the perpetrator of the prostitute. Gender differences in rape and prostitution myth acceptance and blaming attributions were also investigated. The findings are congruent with previous research on rape myth acceptance and blame.

Abstract:

Despite community policing interventions, rape incidence in South Africa reflects a consistent increase over the past decade. Victim blame continues to be a pervasive aspect of this trauma - where society blames the victim more than the perpetrator for the rape. In unpacking the complexities of victim blame, research has identified sex role orientation of the observer as an important variable. Given that the polic service is often the first contact a rape victim has with the criminal justice system, this study investigated how sex role orientation impacts on rape victim blame in a sample of police officers.

Full text
Abstract:
The current case involves a female rape victim. Research has shown the level of victim blaming can be elevated if the victim is a lesbian woman compared to a heterosexual woman. Mock jurors’ responses to personality trait questionnaires (e.g., Belief in a Just World, Attitudes Toward Women, Attitudes Toward Lesbians) and amount of contact they have with homosexual people were employed as predictors of how they would decide victim blaming and perpetrator guilt. Personality trait findings were not good predictors; however, greater contact with homosexuals did decrease negative attitudes toward lesbian victims. Limitations and implications for future research are addressed.

Full text
Abstract:
Previous research indicates that survivors of sexual assault often blame themselves for the assault. Research has also shown that people blame the perpetrator in some situations and the survivor in other situations involving sexual assault. The purpose of this study was to discover if survivors of sexual assault who blame themselves tend to blame other survivors (survivor blame) in situations different from their own. Another purpose was to assess whether or not sexual assault survivors who do not blame themselves for their attack tend to blame other survivors. The participants' attributional style was also assessed in order to understand the relations between self-blame and survivor blame in situations involving sexual assault. Findings indicated that certain types of attributional style are related to self-blame in sexual assault survivors and blame toward sexual assault survivors depicted in vignettes. This indicates that attributional style may have important implications in the clinical setting to aid sexual assault survivors who experience self-blame, as well in educating society about sexual assault and the ultimate responsibility of perpetrators.

Abstract:
The current study used a Post-positivist paradigm and was quantitative in nature. In addition, it used a descriptive survey design, which utilized self-reported questionnaires. The final sample included 125 students, ages 18-20, in undergraduate psychology courses at a Southern California university. This study attempted to explore the differences between the tree types of dating violence profiles: 1) victim only, 2) perpetrator only and 3) mutually violent; however, only 37 participants completed the questionnaire, which made statistical analysis impossible. Nonetheless, this study explored differences in relation to the demographic characteristics and five variables: a) gender, b) self-esteem, c) severity of violence, d) relationship satisfaction, and e) acceptance of violence. Therefore, this study proposed that differences would be identified and used correlations to reveal any associations between the variables. It was discovered that dating violence occurred among the sample with an 87.8% prevalence rate.

The study aims to analyze the judgment results of acquaintance rape cases and target them to the six municipalities directly under the Central Government of Taiwan. The relationship between the two cases are males and females’ love relationship, and the first-instance judgments of the local courts are published through the courts for analysis and system. In addition, the crime characteristics of the perpetrators, the key factors affecting the judgment results, and the characteristics of the victims of sexual assault. After the completion of 48 judgments, it was found through research that the sexual assault victims of sexual assault were the majority of underage girls, and the extent of the victim’s injury was determined by the age of the defendant and the victim, and the time when the victim and the defendant met. The length is related. In addition to being accused of swindling, most of the cases were provoked by the defendant because the defendant was rejected because of the compounding, or the victim’s negotiating was not successful. The seriousness of the defendant’s means at the time, the post-criminal attitude and the post-treatment method have become the key factors affecting the verdict. The study puts forward conclusions in the final chapter and provides suggestions on the parties' own safety, legal system, and quantitative punishment. It is hoped that in the future, the victims of sexual assault will have more service channels in the process of seeking help; In this type of case, there can be more objective judgment results. The writing restrictions encountered in this study mentioned in the article can provide reference for scholars who do research in this area to increase objectivity and generalization.

Abstract:
M.A. (Clinical Psychology)
Despite similarities, shame is expressed differently among individuals. The aim of this study is to explore the lived experience of shame in two female victims of acquaintance rape. Using the tenets of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), a case study approach was adopted. The findings revealed how the female victims' relationship with the known assailants influenced the experience of shame. Moreover, encountering acquaintance rape twice had implications for how shame was experienced. For instance, intense self-blame and the belief in being inherently flawed was evident. Of equal importance, in both women, anger manifested primarily as indignation. Furthermore, shame manifested primarily as feeling dirty and having elements of moral impurity. However, shame did not affect the self-identity of one of the participants; instead she displayed resistance to the notion of shame affecting her global self. Thus, the study concluded that despite similarities in some features, the manifestation of shame in the context of acquaintance rape is different from in other contexts. These findings have implications for future research and clinical practice. Ultimately, this study adds to the discourse on shame in women in the context of acquaintance rape in South Africa. Moreover, it provides a theoretical framework that enables the therapist or healthcare worker to intervene with clients in such a context.

Dissertação de mestrado apresentada ao ISPA - Instituto Universitário
Cada vez mais a violação é perspetivada como o trauma que efectivamente constitui (Vidal & Petrak, 2007; Krahé, 1991). Ao impacto do crime per se, acresce o feedback da sociedade, que, se negativo, desencadeia um processo de vitimização secundária (Strómwall, Landstrom & Alfredsson, 2014), nomeadamente, a atribuição de culpa pelo crime à vítima. Uma das teorias que tem sido empregue na compreensão dos julgamentos de culpabilidade imputados a vítimas de violação é a teoria do pensamento contrafactual (Levy & Ben-David, 2008, pp. 7, 8) que concebe estes julgamentos como resultado do contraponto que se estabelece entre a realidade e as alternativas imaginadas (Roese, 1994; Roese, 2005, p. 17). O presente documento discute o fundamento e a viabilidade de implementação de uma investigação que enquadre a problemática dos julgamentos de culpa imputados a vítimas do crime de violação à luz do pensamento contrafactual, com uma metodologia que faz uso de vinhetas escritas e de listas de contrafactuais ascendentes focados na vítima. Adicionalmente, incorporamos a variável «tipo de relacionamento entre vítima e agente do crime» que, segundo nos constou, não foi, até à data, avaliada concomitantemente com as duas variáveis supramencionadas. Esperamos (i) que os contrafactuais potenciem os julgamentos de culpa, (ii) que estes últimos sejam mais elevados no cenário em que vítima e agente do crime sejam conhecidos entre si (acquaintance rape), comparativamente ao cenário em que sejam estranhos (stranger rape) e (iii) que haja um efeito combinados dos dois factores contemplados. Rematamos discutindo a pertinência, possíveis críticas e limitações deste projeto.
ABSTRACT------More and more, rape is seen as the traumatic experience that truly represents (Vidal & Petrak, 2007; Krahé, 1991). Besides the impact of the crime per se, we should consider the feedback of society, which, if negative, triggers a process of secondary victimization (Strómwall, Landstrom & Alfredsson, 2014), namely, judgments of blame towards the victims. One of the theories that has been used towards an understanding of those victim blaming is counterfactual theory (Levy & Ben-David, 2008, pp. 7, 8) which sees it as a result of the contrast between reality and the alternatives imagined to that (Roese, 1994; Roese, 2005, p. 17). The present document approaches the groundwork and feasibility of an investigation that frames judgments of guilt towards victims of a rape crime under the light of counterfactual thinking, with a methodology that uses written vignettes and lists of upward counterfactual focused on the victim. Furthermore, we include the type of relation between victim and aggressor as a variable, one that, as far as we are concerned, has not been yet approached along with the other variables considered. We expect results to reveal that counterfactuals do, in fact, (i) potentiate judgments of guilt, (ii) that those last will be higher in the vignette where victim and perpetrator know each other (acquaintance rape), comparatively to the vignette where they are depicted as strangers (stranger rape), and (iii) that that is an interaction effect between the two factors implicated. At last, we discuss the relevance, possible criticism and limitations of the study conceived in this document.
