TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - The psychology of the politics of rape: political ideology, moral foundations, and attitudes toward rape JO - Violence against women A1 - Barnett, Michael D.

The purpose of these two studies was to investigate whether moral foundations mediate the relationship between political ideology and attitudes toward rape among U.S. college students. In Study 1, moral foundations fully mediated the relationship between political ideology and rape myth acceptance. Study 2 generally replicated the results of Study 1, with binding foundations demonstrating the most consistent mediating effects. These results suggest that individual differences in moral decision-making may explain the relationship between political ideology and attitudes toward rape.
