This study investigated whether attitudinal variables, such as benevolent and hostile sexism toward men and women, female rape myth acceptance, and tolerance of sexual harassment are related to women labeling their sexual assault experiences as rape. In a sample of 276 female college students, 71 (25.7%) reported at least one experience that met the operational definition of rape, although only 46.5% of those women labeled the experience "rape." Benevolent sexism, tolerance of sexual harassment, and rape myth acceptance, but not hostile sexism, significantly predicted labeling of previous sexual assault experiences by the victims. Specifically, those with more benevolent sexist attitudes toward both men and women, greater rape myth acceptance, and more tolerant attitudes of sexual harassment were less likely to label their past sexual assault experience as rape. The results are discussed for their clinical and theoretical implications.
本研究调查了诸如对男性和女性的善意和敌意性别歧视、女性对强奸谬见的认同以及对性骚扰的容忍度等态度变量，是否与女性将其性侵犯经历认定为强奸有关。在276名女大学生的样本中，71人（25.7%）报告至少有一次经历符合强奸的操作定义，尽管这些女性中只有46.5%将该经历认定为“强奸”。善意性别歧视、对性骚扰的容忍度以及对强奸谬见的认同，而非敌意性别歧视，显著预测了受害者对先前性侵犯经历的认定。具体而言，那些对男性和女性持有更多善意性别歧视态度、对强奸谬见的认同度更高以及对性骚扰的容忍度更高的人，将其过去性侵犯经历认定为强奸的可能性较小。讨论了这些结果的临床和理论意义。
