Racially Charged: The Impact of Ambivalent Sexism on Black and White Women Arrested for Prostitution
The Effects of Victim and Perpetrator Characteristics on Ratings of Guilt in a Sexual Assault Case
Scholars have long investigated how perceptions of the victim affect judgments in a sexual assault case, but little research has investigated perceptions of the perpetrator. Participants ( N = 322) read a scenario about an alleged sexual assault that manipulated victim behavior (speed of reporting) and perpetrator characteristics (athlete status and celebrity status) and then made judgments about the victim and perpetrator. Results showed that vi…
The Influence of Non-Misogynous and Mixed Portrayals of Intimate Partner Violence in Music on Beliefs About Intimate Partner Violence
In this study, we investigated the effect of songs that offer non-misogynous and ambivalent portrayals of intimate partner violence (IPV). Participants ( N = 103) were exposed to a misogynous song about IPV, a song critical of IPV, and a song that offered an ambivalent portrayal of IPV. Our results showed positive effects of the anti-IPV song, and both positive and negative effects of the ambivalent portrayal on participants' beliefs about a viol…
The Lion Fell in Love with the Lamb”: Gender, violence, and vampires
Although many scholars have written about vampire fiction, few have discussed gender and gender violence in this genre. Further, none has addressed the romanticized and eroticized violence in contemporary vampire fiction. Given the popularity of the series The Vampire Diaries and Twilight with a highly impressionable teen audience, it is important to examine their portrayal of gender roles and gender violence. This paper uses research in cultivat…
Relationship theories and relationship violence: Is it beneficial to believe in soulmates
Franiuk and colleagues (2002) distinguished between two implicit theories of relationships (ITRs)-a soulmate theory and a work-it-out theory. The soulmate theory reflects beliefs that finding the right person is important for relationship success while the work-it-out theory reflects beliefs that relationships take effort to be successful. The current research explores the association between the ITRs and relationship violence. Surveying an older…
Beyond Christianity: The Status of Women and Rape Myths
Perceptions of Mothers and Fathers Who Take Temporary Work Leave
Stand by Your Man: Indirect Prescriptions for Honorable Violence and Feminine Loyalty in Canada, Chile, and the United States
Cultural values emphasizing female loyalty, sacrifice, and male honor may indirectly sanction relationship violence and reward women who remain in abusive relationships. Two studies compare participants from subcultures emphasizing honor (Latinos and southern Anglos in Study 1, Chileans in Study 2) and subcultures without strong honor traditions (northern U.S. Anglos in Study 1, Anglo-Canadians in Study 2). In Study 1, participants watch a videot…
Prevalence and Effects of Rape Myths in Print Journalism: The Kobe Bryant Case
Two studies examine the prevalence and effects of rape myths in the print media covering a real-life case of alleged sexual assault. Study 1 was an archival study of 156 sources from around the country. Articles about the Kobe Bryant case were coded for instances of rape myths, among other variables. Of the articles, 65 mentioned at least one rape myth (with "she's lying" being the single most common myth perpetuated). Study 2 assessed participan…
Prevalence of Rape Myths in Headlines and Their Effects on Attitudes Toward Rape
Implicit theories of relationships: Implications for relationship satisfaction and longevity
The role of implicit theories in romantic relationships was investigated in two studies. People holding a soulmate theory, who believed that finding the right person is most important for a satisfying relationship, were compared to people holding a work–it–out theory, who believed that effort is most important for building a successful relationship. In Study 1, college students (N = 527) completed a set of questionnaires, including measures of re…
