Aggression and Violent Behavior, 2014, 19(5): 523-531Summary: This paper explores the distinction between victim and observer characteristics by examining the victim characteristics of gender, sexuality, degree of resistance exhibited, and victim–perpetrator relationship, as well as the observer characteristics of gender, professional status, gender role attitudes, and rape myth acceptance in relation to rape victim blame. Findings indicate that these variables have significant effects on rape blame attribution. (from the authors' abstract)
