abstract="OBJECTIVE: This study examines rape myth acceptance among students attending a Historically Black College (HBCU). PARTICIPANTS: One hundred and thirty two students participated in the study. <br><br>METHODS: A survey consisting of demographic questions and the Updated Illinois Rape Myth Acceptance Scale (IRMA) was distributed using an anonymous paper questionnaire to students on campus. <br><br>RESULTS: Analysis of the scale indicate a moderate to high rejection of rape myths regardless of gender, with the highest acceptance in both genders of the &quot;She Lied&quot; subscale. Both male and female students were likely to agree that a girl would lie about being raped to get even with a guy or after a sexual encounter that she regretted. Gender differences were found in the &quot;She asked for it&quot; subscale, with men having a statistically significant higher acceptance than women. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: These results have implications for the design and implementation of targeted sexual assault interventions on HBCU campuses.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
