TY - JOUR PY - 1995// TI - Perceiver Bias in Expectancies for Sexually Abused Children JO - Family relations A1 - Briggs, Kathleen A1 - Hubbs-Tait, Laura A1 - Culp, Rex E. A1 - Blankemeyer, Maureen SP - 291 EP - 298 VL - 44 IS - 3 N2 - College students (N = 134) judged children in vignettes. Vignettes varied on child gender and family history lable (sexually abused, mother dying of cancer, normal). Perceiver bias was confirmed. Sexually abused children were expected to have more behavior problems than children whose mothers had terminal cancer. When acquaintance with victims of sexual abuse was controlled, male and female respondents' perceptions did not differ. However, perceptions of female sexual abuse victims were more biased than perceptions of male victims. (Abstract Adapted from Source: Family Relations, 1995.
