This study examines rape myth acceptance among students attending a Historically Black College (HBCU).
One hundred and thirty two students participated in the study. Methods: A survey consisting of demographic questions and the Updated Illinois Rape Myth Acceptance Scale (IRMA) was distributed using an anonymous paper questionnaire to students on campus.
Analysis of the scale indicate a moderate to high rejection of rape myths regardless of gender, with the highest acceptance in both genders of the "She Lied" subscale. Both male and female students were likely to agree that a girl would lie about being raped to get even with a guy or after a sexual encounter that she regretted. Gender differences were found in the "She asked for it" subscale, with men having a statistically significant higher acceptance than women.
These results have implications for the design and implementation of targeted sexual assault interventions on HBCU campuses.
本研究调查了历史悠久的黑人学院(HBCU)学生对强奸谬见的接受程度。
132名学生参与了该研究。方法:通过一份匿名纸质问卷,向校园内的学生发放了一份包含人口统计学问题和更新后的伊利诺伊州强奸谬见接受量表(IRMA)的调查问卷。
量表分析表明,无论性别,对强奸谬见的拒绝程度为中度到高度,在“她撒谎了”子量表中,男女的接受程度最高。男女生都倾向于认同女孩会为了报复某个男孩或在对性接触感到后悔后谎称自己被强奸。在“她自找的”子量表中发现了性别差异,男性的接受程度在统计学上显著高于女性。
这些结果对HBCU校园针对性侵干预措施的设计和实施具有启示意义。
