The current study examined the influence of rape myth acceptance on self-blame and psychological symptoms following a sexual assault. The sample included 280 female sexual assault survivors in college. In an online survey, participants completed the Sexual Experiences Survey - Short Form Victimization, Updated Illinois Rape Myth Acceptance Scale, Posttraumatic Cognitions Inventory, Patient Health Questionnaire - 9 item scale, and PTSD Checklist for DSM-5. A significant indirect effect was found between acceptance of rape myths and PTSD symptoms via self-blame; acceptance of rape myths was positively associated with self-blame, which in turn was positively associated with PTSD symptoms. Clinicians working with survivors of sexual assault should assess for endorsement of rape myths and self-blame, as challenging posttraumatic cognitions has been shown to reduce symptoms of trauma.
本研究考察了强奸迷思接受度对性侵犯后自责和心理症状的影响。样本包括 280 名大学中的女性性侵犯幸存者。在一项在线调查中，参与者完成了性经历调查-简短形式受害、更新的伊利诺伊强奸迷思接受度量表、创伤后认知清单、患者健康问卷-9 项量表和 DSM-5 创伤后应激障碍检查表。研究发现，强奸迷思的接受度和自责之间存在显著的间接效应，通过自责；强奸迷思的接受度与自责呈正相关，而自责又与 PTSD 症状呈正相关。与性侵犯幸存者合作的临床医生应该评估强奸迷思和自责的认可程度，因为挑战创伤后认知已被证明可以减轻创伤症状。
