The objective of this study is to characterize changes in rape myth acceptance (RMA) among college students from 2010 to 2017. Two samples of undergraduates in a northeastern university in the United States participated in the study, consisting of 464 students in the fall semester of 2010 and 534 students in the spring semester of 2017. Participants took an anonymous web-based survey to measure levels of RMA. The instrument was a revised and updated version of the Illinois Rape Myth Acceptance scale. Data analysis was both descriptive and inferential. For all subscales and the overall total RMA, differences in scores by year of survey (2017 compared with 2010) were significant; 2017 scores were significantly lower than 2010 scores. The greatest differences were for the and subscales, 1.76 versus 2.62 ( < .001) and 2.26 versus 2.69 ( < .001), respectively. In both years, male students and younger students were significantly more likely to endorse rape myths. RMA among undergraduates at one northeastern university has lessened since 2010.
本研究旨在描述 2010 年至 2017 年间大学生强奸观念接受度（RMA）的变化。本研究在美国东北部一所大学的两个本科生样本中进行，包括 2010 年秋季学期的 464 名学生和 2017 年春季学期的 534 名学生。参与者参加了一项匿名的网络调查，以衡量 RMA 的水平。该工具是伊利诺伊州强奸观念接受度量表的修订和更新版本。数据分析既有描述性的，也有推论性的。对于所有分量表和整体 RMA，调查年份（2017 年与 2010 年）的得分差异具有统计学意义；2017 年的得分明显低于 2010 年的得分。差异最大的是 和 分量表，分别为 1.76 比 2.62（ <.001）和 2.26 比 2.69（ <.001）。在这两年中，男性学生和年轻学生更有可能认可强奸观念。自 2010 年以来，一所东北部大学的本科生的 RMA 有所减少。
