This study experimentally examined the role of victim alcohol intoxication, and self-blame in perceiving and reporting rape to the police using a hypothetical interactive rape scenario. Participants (N = 79) were randomly assigned to consume alcohol (mean BAC = 0.07%) or tonic water before they engaged in the scenario. Alcohol expectancy was manipulated, and participant beliefs about the beverage they thought they had consumed and their feelings of intoxication were measured. Alcohol consumption and expectancy did not affect the likelihood that the nonconsensual intercourse depicted in the scenario was perceived and would be reported as rape. Participants with higher levels of self-blame were less likely to say they would report the hypothetical rape. Self-blame levels were higher for participants who believed they had consumed alcohol, and were associated with increased feelings of intoxication. The implications are discussed.
本研究通过一个假设的互动性强奸场景，以实验方式检验了受害者酒精中毒以及自责在向警方察觉和报告强奸事件中的作用。参与者（N = 79）在参与该场景之前被随机分配饮用酒精饮料（平均血液酒精浓度 = 0.07%）或奎宁水。对酒精预期进行了操控，并测量了参与者对他们认为自己饮用的饮料的信念以及他们的中毒感受。酒精消费和预期并未影响场景中所描绘的非自愿性交被察觉并被报告为强奸的可能性。自责程度较高的参与者不太可能表示他们会报告这一假设的强奸事件。认为自己饮用了酒精的参与者自责程度更高，且与中毒感受的增加有关。文中对这些影响进行了讨论。
