This study tested the effects on social perceptions of sexual marital rights and duties of ambivalent sexist ideology and information about the benevolent sexist ideology of a husband, portrayed in a hypothetical marital vignette. In addition, the perception of whether hypothetical forced sex between husband and wife is considered rape was explored. For one half of the participants (college students), the husband was presented as high in benevolent sexism (BS); and for the other half, no information about his ideology was given. Results showed that participants in the first group ranked sexual marital rights (for him) and duties (for her) more highly, and regarded forced sex as rape to a lesser extent. Positive relationships were also found between participants' BS and these ratings. Moreover, participants' perceptions of marital rights and duties played a mediating role in the relationship between their BS and their perception of forced penetration as rape. Finally, an interaction was found between participants' and husbands' BS in the perception of marital rights and duties: The influence of participants' BS was higher when the husband was presented as a benevolent sexist man. Results highlight the role of sexist attitudes in the interpretation of marital rape.
本研究测试了矛盾性别意识形态和丈夫仁慈性别意识形态信息对性婚姻权利和义务的社会认知的影响，这些信息在一个假设的婚姻小插曲中呈现。此外，还探讨了假设的夫妻间强迫性行为是否被视为强奸的看法。对于一半的参与者（大学生），丈夫被描绘为高度仁慈性别主义者（BS）；对于另一半，没有关于他意识形态的信息。结果表明，第一组参与者对性婚姻权利（对他）和义务（对她）的评价更高，并且较少认为强迫性行为是强奸。参与者的 BS 与这些评价之间也存在正相关关系。此外，参与者对婚姻权利和义务的看法在他们的 BS 和他们对强迫性行为的看法之间起着中介作用。最后，在参与者和丈夫对婚姻权利和义务的看法之间发现了一种相互作用：当丈夫被描绘成一个仁慈的性别主义者时，参与者的 BS 的影响更大。研究结果突出了性别歧视态度在解释婚姻强奸方面的作用。
