N2  - The present study examines the perceived causes of date rape by the use of network analysis, The 142 subjects in the study were presented with grids containing 9 causes listed by row and column, They were asked to indicate if they believed there was a causal link between each of the 72 causal pairings. The resulting network placed emphasis on male and female drunkenness, norms of dating, and society's attitude to date rape as distal causes of date rape. Misunderstanding of behavior by men, male attitude that date rape is unimportant, and need by males for dominance were seen as proximal causes, Further networks for each sex were constructed; these showed clear division of opinion on the causes of date rape.<p />
