There is a paucity of research on the influence of racist and sexist stereotypes in rape blame attribution, including the jezebel and matriarch stereotypes of Black women. This study extends the literature by examining how victim race, perpetrator race, and participant sex affect perceptions of a rape survivor's promiscuity (jezebel stereotype) and strength and/or toughness (matriarch stereotype). The myth of the Black male sexual predator of White women is also investigated. Data provided partial support for the jezebel stereotype. There were also contradictory findings supporting and challenging the acceptance of the Black rapist of White women stereotype. No significant differences were found for the matriarch stereotype. Reasons for and implications of findings are explored.
关于种族主义和性别歧视刻板印象在强奸罪责归因中的影响，包括对黑人女性的“荡妇”和“女家长”刻板印象，相关研究较少。本研究通过考察受害者种族、犯罪者种族和参与者性别如何影响对强奸幸存者滥交（“荡妇”刻板印象）以及力量和/或坚韧（“女家长”刻板印象）的认知，扩展了相关文献。同时也对白人女性遭受黑人男性性侵犯的神话进行了调查。数据为“荡妇”刻板印象提供了部分支持。对于白人女性遭受黑人强奸犯刻板印象的接受，也存在相互矛盾的研究结果，既有支持的也有质疑的。在“女家长”刻板印象方面未发现显著差异。本文探讨了研究结果的原因及意义。
