Sexual Violence and Rape
This entry discusses rape and sexual violence – its definitions, prevalence, sequelae, major etiological theories, and how it can be reduced. One of the most significant etiological explanations for rape is feminist. Feminist theories content that rape is a part of a rape‐supportive culture, a societal understanding of gender relations based on sexism, hegemonic masculinity, widespread gender inequality, and the socialization of children into tra…
Social Psychology
Social psychology has been defined by Allport as the scientific study of how “the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of individuals are influenced by the actual, imagined, or implied presence of others.” Social psychological topics permeate all aspects of social life. The main focus of this discipline has been scientific and positivistic – studying what is, for the most part, observable and measurable, with an emphasis on empiricism. This entry ex…
Blame and fault attributions in sexual violence
Purpose This study seeks to examine whether blame and fault assigned to victims and perpetrators in a hypothetical sexual violence case are distinct conceptually, and whether they are affected by gender of participant, perpetrator and victim. Design/methodology/approach Participants read an incident of either female or male rape, perpetrated by either a female or a male, and assigned attributions of blame and fault to both victims and perpetrator…

This study reports a preliminary investigation into accounting practices for male rape in conversation. Thirty men and women, in dyads, were asked to discuss an incident of male rape presented to them in a vignette.

In addition, participants established a ‘hierarchy of suffering’, where rape was judged to be worse for ‘h…

Can Blaming Victims of Rape be Logical? Attribution Theory and Discourse Analytic Perspectives
While it is frequently assumed that blaming the victims rather than the perpetrators of rape is the result of biases in causal reasoning, one rape perception study (Calhoun et al., 1976) suggests that blame attributions directed at the victim can occur as a result of logical attributional processes through the systematic and rational application of the covariational rules of inductive reasoning. The aim of the present study was to investigate thi…

Characterological and Behavioral Blame in Conversations about Female and Male Rape
This study investigated the spontaneous occurrence of characterological and behavioral blame in talk about rape. Although participants are willing to attribute both types of blame to rape survivors when prompted to do so by preexisting categories on questionnaires, little is known about the naturalistic aspect of these concepts as they might occur during the course of conversation. The present study also examined how participant and survivor gend…
