Majority Rules: Differences in Attitudes about Sexual Violence As a Function of Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation Status

Poster Session IV

Keyword: Sexual Behavior

Abstract: Social majority communities, including college-aged cis-males and heterosexual individuals, demonstrated greater rape myth acceptance, sexism, and right wing authoritarianism than individuals with other gender identities or sexual orientations. However, no differences were found between these groups concerning perpetrator blame, and analyses yielded conflicting findings concerning victim blame.
