Abstract

Examined factors that may influence attributions of blame for male victims of rape. Whatley and Riggio (1993) found that victim arrest record and perceiver's belief in a just world influenced attributions of blame. The current study sought to replicate and extend these findings. Sexual orientation of the victim was manipulated along with arrest record, resulting in a 2 X 2 ANOVA. As expected, belief in a just world predicted greater victim blame and homosexual victims were accorded more blame than heterosexual victims. The finding related to arrest record, however, was not replicated.
