Previous research has assumed that rape reporting is unique, but no study has systematically tested this assumption. The present study used a probability sample of female victims from the National Violence Against Women Survey to compare factors affecting rape and physical assault reporting using multinomial logit regression. Overall, results suggested that there was similarity in reporting decisions between rapes and physical assaults in terms of main effects. However, interactions suggested that age, marital status, and physical force each influenced reporting differently by assault type. Implications of these results are discussed and directions for future research are offered.
先前的研究假设强奸报案是独特的，但没有研究系统地检验这一假设。本研究使用全国妇女暴力调查的女性受害者概率样本，采用多项逻辑回归比较影响强奸和身体攻击报案的因素。总体而言，结果表明，在主要影响方面，强奸和身体攻击的报案决定具有相似性。然而，相互作用表明，年龄、婚姻状况和体力对不同类型的攻击的报案有不同的影响。讨论了这些结果的意义，并提出了未来研究的方向。
