This study investigated the effect of the victim's gender and the perpetrator's attractiveness on the observer's blame on the male and female victims of coercive sexual contact. Two hundred and ninety-six participants (184 females) were enrolled in an experiment in which the victim's gender and the offender's attractiveness were manipulated using vignettes depicting cross-gender sexual assault. Participants rated emotions that the victims experienced in being assaulted and attributed victim blame. The results indicate that the male victim was blamed more than the female victim, especially when the female perpetrator was described as attractive. The female victim was perceived as having experienced more negative emotions and fewer positive emotions than the male victim. The effect of the victim's gender on victim blaming was mediated by both positive and negative emotions.
本研究调查了受害者性别和施害者吸引力对被强迫性性接触的男性和女性受害者的观察者指责的影响。296 名参与者（184 名女性）参加了一项实验，该实验使用描述跨性别性侵犯的情景片段来操纵受害者的性别和施害者的吸引力。参与者对受害者在被侵犯时所经历的情绪进行了评分，并归因于受害者的指责。结果表明，男性受害者比女性受害者受到更多的指责，尤其是当女性施害者被描述为有吸引力时。女性受害者被认为经历了更多的负面情绪，而较少的正面情绪比男性受害者。受害者性别对受害者指责的影响是由积极和消极情绪共同介导的。
