Rape myths are prejudicial and stereotyped beliefs about rape which persist in society. They may have a significant impact on those affected by rape as well as the performance of legal and public participants in the justice system. Rape myths may differ over time and within different societies and cultural settings. Awareness of contemporary and local rape myths is necessary if they are to be successfully challenged through public campaigns and other means. This study sought to assess the prevalence of myths concerning rape and sexual abuse in a national population survey.
强奸迷思是指在社会中持续存在的关于强奸的有偏见和刻板的信念。它们可能会对强奸的受害者以及法律和公共司法系统参与者的表现产生重大影响。强奸迷思可能会随着时间的推移以及在不同的社会和文化环境中而有所不同。如果要通过公共宣传和其他手段成功地挑战这些迷思,就必须了解当代和当地的强奸迷思。本研究旨在评估全国性人口调查中有关强奸和性虐待的迷思的流行程度。
