There are no "innocent victims": the influence of just world beliefs and prior victimization on rape myth acceptance.

Rebecca L Vonderhaar1, Dianne Cyr Carmody2.   

Abstract

Utilizing data from an online survey of 979 university students, this study explores the relationship between prior sexual assault victimization experiences, belief in a just world, and acceptance of rape myths. Results indicated that men, younger respondents, and those with less education were more likely to support rape myths. Support for just world beliefs and rape myths were also positively associated, while rape victims exhibited less support for rape myths than non-victims. Implications for future studies are discussed.
