The purpose of the study presented here was to investigate the relationship among sex-role stereotyping, empathy with the victim, and subsequent blaming of the victim in response to a date-rape scenario. It was hypothesized that sex-typed (traditional) females would be less likely to perceive forced sex on a date as rape and would attribute more responsibility to the victim than would more egalitarian (nontraditional) females. It was also predicted that the enhancement of victim empathy would result in less victim blame. The subjects were 76 female undergraduates who were chosen on the basis of their extreme scores on a sex-role stereotyping scale. Vignettes describing a date rape were used to manipulate victim empathy. Findings indicated that although attributions of responsibility were influenced by the subject's sex-role stereotyping, the manipulation of empathy had no apparent influence on victim blame. Furthermore, the lack of correlation between the degree of victim empathy and the subject's own history of victimization suggests that victim empathy is not a component in victim blame.
此处所呈现研究的目的是调查在约会强奸场景中，性别角色刻板印象、对受害者的同理心以及随后对受害者的指责之间的关系。研究假设为，具有性别类型化（传统）观念的女性比更主张平等主义（非传统）的女性更不容易将约会中的强迫性行为视为强奸，且会将更多责任归咎于受害者。研究还预测，增强对受害者的同理心会减少对受害者的指责。研究对象为76名本科女生，她们是根据在性别角色刻板印象量表上的极端得分挑选出来的。描述约会强奸的短文被用来操控对受害者的同理心。研究结果表明，尽管责任归因受到研究对象性别角色刻板印象的影响，但同理心的操控对指责受害者没有明显影响。此外，受害者同理心程度与研究对象自身受害经历之间缺乏相关性，这表明受害者同理心并非指责受害者的一个因素。
