Abstract The current study surveyed 530 college students to investigate perceptions of victim responsibility or blame in heterosexual stalking situations using a vignette design. The vignettes manipulated the gender of the victim and offender, as well as the prior relationship between the victim and offender. Regression results revealed that while perceived victim blame was low overall among the sample, victims of known offenders received the most blame, especially if they engaged in casual sex practices. Gender of the victim and offender in the vignette did not significantly affect the perceptions of victim blame. Contrary to previous literature, male respondents were significantly less likely than female respondents to assign blame to the victim, particularly when the victim was a male being pursued by a female stalker. Also, white respondents were significantly less likely than nonwhite respondents to attribute blame to the victim. Implications for educational programs or other campus initiatives to address victim-blaming attitudes and stalking are discussed.

大学生对缠扰事件受害人责任的认知

摘要 当前的研究调查了 530 名大学生，以使用小插图设计调查对异性恋跟踪情况下受害者责任或责备的看法。这些小插曲操纵了受害者和罪犯的性别，以及受害者和罪犯之间的先前关系。回归结果显示，虽然样本中对受害者的指责总体上较低，但已知罪犯的受害者受到的指责最多，特别是如果他们从事随意的性行为。小插图中的受害者和犯罪者的性别对受害者责备的看法没有显着影响。与之前的文献相反，男性受访者将责任归咎于受害者的可能性明显低于女性受访者，尤其是当受害者是被女性缠扰者追捕的男性时。还，与非白人受访者相比，白人受访者将责任归咎于受害者的可能性要小得多。讨论了对教育计划或其他校园举措的影响，以解决指责受害者的态度和跟踪。
