Abstract

Research informs that bisexual women face harsher sexual stereotypes than lesbian and straight women. We, therefore, explored the relationship between objectification and victim blame in cases of revenge porn in which the victims were sexually diverse women (i.e., bisexual, lesbian, straight). Using vignettes, we hypothesized that bisexual women would be more objectified, and conversely blamed more, than the straight and lesbian victims. Adult men and women who self-identified as straight and cisgender (N = 359) completed and online survey. Findings revealed that objectification and victim blame were significantly correlated. No significant differences were found between bisexual, lesbian, or straight victims on objectification or blame measures. Men participants were found to assign greater victim blame to the victims than were women participants. This study has important implications for targeting sexual violence advocacy efforts, and implications for training future mental health professionals to enhance their advocacy efforts.

摘要

研究表明，双性恋女性比女同性恋和异性恋女性面临更严厉的性刻板印象。因此，我们探讨了复仇色情案件中客体化和受害者责备之间的关系，其中受害者是性别多样化的女性（即双性恋、女同性恋、异性恋）。使用小插曲，我们假设双性恋女性会比异性恋和女同性恋受害者更客观化，反过来也更容易受到指责。自我认定为异性恋和顺性别的成年男性和女性（N = 359) 已完成和在线调查。调查结果显示，客观化和受害者责备显着相关。双性恋、女同性恋或异性恋受害者在客观化或指责措施上没有发现显着差异。与女性参与者相比，男性参与者被发现将更多的受害者责任归咎于受害者。这项研究对针对性暴力倡导工作具有重要意义，对培训未来的心理健康专业人员以加强他们的倡导工作具有重要意义。
