We experimentally investigated the effects of gender identity threat on men's and women's perceptions of date rape and sexual coercion. Results showed that men whose masculinity was threatened responded by blaming the victim and exonerating the perpetrator more, while threatened women respond by blaming male perpetrators more and placing less blame on female victims. Men's response to threats was more pronounced than women's, an asymmetry we attribute to the cultural devaluation of femininity. Our findings highlight the significance of masculinity concerns in perceptions of sexual violence and, more generally, the importance of perceiver context in views of violence against women.
我们通过实验研究了性别认同威胁对男性和女性对约会强奸和性胁迫的看法的影响。结果表明，男性的男子气概受到威胁时，会更多地指责受害者和开脱施害者，而受到威胁的女性则会更多地指责男性施害者，并较少指责女性受害者。男性对威胁的反应比女性更明显，我们将这种不对称归因于对女性气质的文化贬低。我们的发现强调了男子气概在性暴力认知中的重要性，更广泛地说，强调了感知者背景在对女性暴力看法中的重要性。
