- Josh Woods
Grand View University
Abstract
Subjects judged the likelihood different news reports about rape were true or false. Participants who reported they personally knew a victim of sexual assault were significantly better at differentiating true from false reports compared to those did not. This group also scored significantly lower for believing myths about rape.
