TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - Predicting date rape perceptions: The effects of gender, gender role attitudes, and victim resistance JO - Violence against women A1 - Black, Katherine A. A1 - McCloskey, Kathy A. SP - 949 EP - 967 VL - 19 IS - 8 N2 - The effects of participant gender and victim resistance on date rape perceptions have been inconsistent. Participant gender role attitudes may contribute to these inconsistencies. We found women with traditional gender role attitudes were least likely to agree that the perpetrator was guilty of rape. Participants were less convinced of the perpetrator's guilt when the victim resisted verbally than when she resisted verbally and physically, and participants with traditional gender role attitudes were less convinced of the negative impact on the victim when she resisted verbally than when she resisted verbally and physically. Perhaps previous inconsistencies resulted from varying proportions of men and women with traditional versus liberal gender role attitudes in the samples.
