The aim of this study is to explore the effect of exposure to sexist humor about women on men's self-reported rape proclivity. Earlier studies have shown that exposure to this type of humor increases rape proclivity and that funniness responses to jokes are a key element to consider. However, the role of aversiveness responses has not been studied. In a between-group design, 109 male university students are randomly exposed to sexist or nonsexist jokes. Participants are asked to rate the jokes according to their degree of funniness and aversiveness. Participants' levels of hostile and benevolent sexism were also measured. Results about the relationship between sexist attitudes and sexist humor and the relationship between sexist attitudes and rape proclivity are consistent with those of earlier studies. However, exposure to sexist humor affects rape proclivity only when aversiveness shown to this type of humor is low. The results are discussed in the light of the prejudiced norm theory.
本研究旨在探讨男性接触针对女性的性别歧视幽默对其自述强奸倾向的影响。早期研究表明，接触此类幽默会增加强奸倾向，而对笑话的滑稽反应是需要考虑的关键因素。然而，厌恶反应的作用尚未得到研究。在一项组间设计中，109 名男性大学生随机接触性别歧视或非性别歧视的笑话。要求参与者根据笑话的滑稽度和厌恶度对其进行评分。还测量了参与者的敌意和善意性别歧视水平。关于性别歧视态度和性别歧视幽默之间的关系以及性别歧视态度和强奸倾向之间的关系的结果与早期研究一致。然而，只有当对这种类型的幽默表现出较低的厌恶感时，接触性别歧视幽默才会影响强奸倾向。结果根据偏见规范理论进行了讨论。
