Although many forms of victimization are repeated (e.g., domestic violence), we know relatively little about the perceived credibility of adult claimants who allege repeated maltreatment. We examined the effects of Event Frequency (Single vs. Repeated), Language Specificity (Episodic vs. Generic), and Disclosure Delay (Immediate vs. Delayed) on laypersons' perceptions of claimant credibility. Participants ( = 649) read a mock interview transcript and provided subjective ratings (e.g., credibility, likelihood of suspect guilt, claimant responsibility). When the alleged abuse occurred a single time (vs. repeatedly), participants rated the interviewee as less blameworthy but no more (or less) credible. Exploratory findings indicated that female participants viewed the interviewee as more credible and less responsible than did male participants.
尽管许多形式的受害行为是重复发生的（例如，家庭暴力），但我们对声称遭受反复虐待的成年受害者的可信度知之甚少。我们研究了事件频率（单次与多次）、语言特异性（情节性与泛化性）和披露延迟（即时与延迟）对非专业人士对受害者可信度的感知的影响。参与者（n=649）阅读了一份模拟访谈记录，并提供了主观评价（例如，可信度、嫌疑人有罪的可能性、受害者的责任）。当虐待行为只发生一次（而非多次）时，参与者认为被访者的罪责感更低，但可信度并没有提高（或降低）。探索性发现表明，女性参与者认为被访者比男性参与者更可信、更少责。
