This study examined the interplay of rape myth acceptance (RMA), gender role stereotypes, and self-perceptions of sexuality among Ultra-Orthodox, formerly Ultra-Orthodox, and secular Jewish women. The study included 253 Jewish women ( = 29.21, = 6.90), primarily Israeli-born. Regression analysis showed that conservative gender roles and negative sexual self-perceptions predicted higher RMA. Ultra-Orthodox women exhibited more conservative gender attitudes, higher RMA, and more negative sexual self-concepts than secular and formerly Ultra-Orthodox women. However, no differences emerged between formerly Ultra-Orthodox and secular women. Additionally, all groups showed similar levels of positive sexual self-concepts. These findings highlight the influence of religious upbringing on attitudes toward gender and sexuality and the complex interplay between religious heritage and societal exposure. Despite study limitations, the research offers insights into gender and sexuality perceptions across Jewish communities, enriching theoretical discussions and informing future interventions.
本研究考察了极端正统派、曾经的极端正统派以及世俗犹太女性中对强奸谬见的接受程度（RMA）、性别角色刻板印象和性自我认知之间的相互作用。该研究纳入了253名犹太女性（平均年龄=29.21岁，标准差=6.90岁），她们主要出生在以色列。回归分析表明，保守的性别角色和消极的性自我认知预示着更高的强奸谬见接受程度。与世俗和曾经的极端正统派女性相比，极端正统派女性表现出更保守的性别态度、更高的强奸谬见接受程度以及更消极的性自我概念。然而，曾经的极端正统派女性和世俗女性之间没有差异。此外，所有群体的积极性自我概念水平相似。这些发现凸显了宗教教养对性别和性态度的影响，以及宗教传统与社会接触之间复杂的相互作用。尽管存在研究局限性，但该研究为犹太社区的性别和性认知提供了见解，丰富了理论讨论并为未来的干预措施提供了参考。
