Two studies examine the prevalence and effects of rape myths in the print media covering a real-life case of alleged sexual assault. Study 1 was an archival study of 156 sources from around the country. Articles about the Kobe Bryant case were coded for instances of rape myths, among other variables. Of the articles, 65 mentioned at least one rape myth (with "she's lying" being the single most common myth perpetuated). Study 2 assessed participants' (N = 62) prior knowledge of the Bryant case and exposed them to a myth-endorsing or myth-challenging article about the case. Those exposed to the myth-endorsing article were more likely to believe that Bryant was not guilty and the alleged victim was lying. The implications for victim reporting and reducing sexual assault in general are discussed.
两项研究考察了平面媒体中强奸谬见的流行程度及其影响，这些媒体报道了一起现实生活中涉嫌性侵犯的案件。研究1是一项对来自全国各地的156个来源进行的档案研究。关于科比·布莱恩特案的文章被编码以统计强奸谬见的实例以及其他变量。在这些文章中，65篇提到了至少一个强奸谬见（“她在说谎”是最常出现的谬见）。研究2评估了参与者（N = 62）对布莱恩特案的先验知识，并让他们阅读一篇支持谬见或挑战谬见的关于该案件的文章。那些阅读了支持谬见文章的人更有可能相信布莱恩特无罪且声称的受害者在说谎。文中还讨论了这对受害者举报以及总体上减少性侵犯的影响。
