Abstract

Objective

This study examines rape myth acceptance among students attending a Historically Black College (HBCU).

Participants

One hundred and thirty two students participated in the study. Methods: A survey consisting of demographic questions and the Updated Illinois Rape Myth Acceptance Scale (IRMA) was distributed using an anonymous paper questionnaire to students on campus.

Results

Analysis of the scale indicate a moderate to high rejection of rape myths regardless of gender, with the highest acceptance in both genders of the “She Lied” subscale. Both male and female students were likely to agree that a girl would lie about being raped to get even with a guy or after a sexual encounter that she regretted. Gender differences were found in the “She asked for it” subscale, with men having a statistically significant higher acceptance than women.

Conclusions

These results have implications for the design and implementation of targeted sexual assault interventions on HBCU campuses.

就读历史悠久的黑人大学 (HBCU) 的学生对强奸神话的接受度：对干预设计的影响

摘要

客观的

本研究调查了就读历史悠久的黑人学院 (HBCU) 的学生对强奸神话的接受程度。

参加者

一百三十二名学生参加了这项研究。方法：使用匿名纸质问卷向校园学生分发了一项由人口统计问题和更新的伊利诺伊强奸神话接受量表 (IRMA) 组成的调查。

结果

对量表的分析表明，无论性别如何，对强奸神话的拒绝程度为中度到高度，“她说谎”子量表的两种性别的接受度最高。男女学生都可能同意，女孩会撒谎说被强奸是为了报复一个男人，或者在她后悔的性接触之后。在“她要求的”子量表中发现了性别差异，男性的接受度在统计学上显着高于女性。

结论

这些结果对在 HBCU 校园内设计和实施有针对性的性侵犯干预措施具有重要意义。
