abstract="This study tested men's perceptions of rape based on the belief that women use token resistance to sex-that they say &quot;no&quot; to sex when they really mean &quot;yes.&quot; Participants were 131 male undergraduates who completed the Token Resistance to Sex scale and responded to evaluative statements regarding 1 of 3 scenarios: rape, consent, or ambiguous. Results supported the hypothesis that men with a weaker belief in token resistance would have stronger perceptions of rape when a woman said &quot;no&quot; to sex than when a woman said &quot;yes,&quot; and that men with a stronger belief in token resistance would have weak perceptions of rape in both situations. These findings implicate miscommunication as a potential contributing factor in date rape.<p />",
