The Updated Illinois Rape Myth Acceptance Scale (UIRMAS) has been widely used for measuring rape myth acceptance. The scale was created in the United States, however studies have shown that rape myth is a culturally and socially embedded phenomenon. Therefore, in order to measure rape myth acceptance in other parts of the world, the scale needs to be validated. Victim blaming and rape myths are both widespread in public reactions to rape in Hungary (i.e., in media reports and public opinion). Furthermore, Hungary can be characterized by a weak feminist movement and scoring low on gender equality measures. Nevertheless, we expected and found the reliability and validity of the Hungarian version of the Updated Illinois Rape myth acceptance Scale (UIRMAS). In Study 1 we conducted a confirmative factor analysis to assess the structural validity of the scale and identified the original factors of UIRMAS on a large convenience sample (N = 758, 25.4% men 74.6% women). In line with previous empirical evidence we also found that men, people with stronger just-world beliefs and higher sexism accepted rape myths more. In Study 2 we again found support for the original factor structure and construct validity of UIRMAS on a nationally representative sample (N = 1007, 49.2% men 50.8% women), and also tested its convergent and discriminant validity. The results suggest that UIRMAS is a valid and reliable scale in the Hungarian context that can, for example, be used for measuring impact assessment of interventions.

更新的伊利诺伊州强奸神话接受量表（UIRMAS）已被广泛用于衡量强奸神话的接受程度。该量表是在美国创建的，但是研究表明，强奸神话是一种文化和社会根深蒂固的现象。因此，为了衡量世界其他地区对强奸神话的接受程度，需要对规模进行验证。在匈牙利，公众对强奸的反应（例如，媒体报道和舆论）都广泛谴责了受害人的指责和强奸神话。此外，匈牙利的特点是女权运动薄弱，性别平等措施得分低。但是，我们期望并发现了更新版的伊利诺伊州强奸神话接受量表（UIRMAS）的匈牙利语版本的可靠性和有效性。N  = 758，男性占25.4％，女性占74.6％）。与以前的经验证据一致，我们还发现，拥有坚强的正义世界信念和较高的性别歧视观念的人，对强奸神话的接受程度更高。在研究2中，我们再次在全国代表性样本（N  = 1007，男性49.2％，女性50.8％）上支持UIRMAS的原始因子结构和构造效度，并检验了其收敛性和判别效度。结果表明，UIRMAS在匈牙利语境中是有效且可靠的量表，例如，可用于测量干预措施的影响评估。
