%X Quantitative and interview data on rape victims' self-evaluation and attributions of personal responsibility were studied to explore the relevance of theories of "defensive attribution" and maintenance of belief in a "just world." Clinical implications of the findings for adjustment of victims, counseling, victim compensation, and the legal system are discussed.<p /><p>Language: en</p>
