Across three studies, we examined the role of victim, perpetrator, and observer political orientation in judgments of sexual assault allegations. Study 1A varied the political orientation of the alleged perpetrator, whereas Study 1B varied the political orientation of the alleged victim. Study 2 varied the political orientation of both the alleged victim and perpetrator. In Studies 1A, 1B, and 2, Republican participants reported more rape-supportive attitudes than Democratic participants overall. In Study 2, Republican participants showed more rape-supportive attitudes, especially when the perpetrator was Republican or when the victim was Democratic. Additionally, both Democratic and Republican participants felt that the allegations may have been politically motivated when the alleged perpetrator's political orientation matched their own. Results provide evidence that political orientation plays a role in judgments of sexual assault, a factor which appears to be more prevalent among Republicans.

政治党派对性侵犯认知的影响

在三项研究中，我们检查了受害者、犯罪者和观察者政治倾向在性侵犯指控判决中的作用。研究 1A 改变了被指控的犯罪者的政治取向，而研究 1B 改变了被指控的受害者的政治取向。研究 2 改变了所谓的受害者和施暴者的政治倾向。在研究 1A、1B 和 2 中，共和党参与者报告的强奸支持态度总体上高于民主党参与者。在研究 2 中，共和党参与者表现出更多支持强奸的态度，尤其是当施暴者是共和党人或受害者是民主党人时。此外，民主党和共和党的参与者都认为，当被指控的肇事者的政治取向与他们自己的相符时，这些指控可能是出于政治动机。
