We examined how individual differences in masculine honor beliefs (MHBs) related to third-person perceptions of revenge pornography (i.e., a man distributing nude photos of his ex-girlfriend) in response to a break-up. Consistent with our hypotheses, higher levels of MHBs were associated with higher ratings of the woman as negative, higher levels of victim-blaming the woman, and higher ratings of revenge pornography as justified. Furthermore, participants perceived the woman as more at fault, and the man's behavior as more justified, when she cheated on him prior to his revenge (compared to when she did not cheat). Overall, our results suggest that both higher levels of MHBs and instances of infidelity inspire beliefs that disempower women victims. Our research extends our understanding of how MHBs and situational factors relate to perceptions of revenge pornography, including its justification and the stigmatization of its victims.
我们研究了男性荣誉观念（MHB）的个体差异如何与人们对报复性色情行为（即男性散布其前女友的裸照）的第三人看法相关，这是在分手后发生的。与我们的假设一致，较高的 MHB 与对女性的负面评价、更高程度的指责女性为受害者以及更高程度的报复性色情行为正当性评价有关。此外，当女性在男性报复之前（相比她没有出轨时）出轨时，参与者认为女性更有过错，男性的行为更有正当性。总的来说，我们的研究结果表明，较高水平的 MHB 和不忠行为都会导致对女性受害者失去权力的信念。我们的研究扩展了我们对 MHB 和情境因素如何与报复性色情行为的看法相关的理解，包括其正当性和对其受害者的污名化。
