Abstract

Transmission of rape myths is expected in every culture, yet limited research exists on rape myth acceptance (RMA) within global South Asian (SA) diasporas. We examined whether gender, attitudes toward gender roles, and patriarchal beliefs contributed to RMA among young SA adults in Canada. An ethnically diverse sample of 116 (ages 17-25) students, comprising equal numbers of men and women and domestic and international students, completed an online survey. SA students were generally egalitarian with low RMA similar to the majority of North American samples. As predicted, male gender, traditional attitudes towards SA women, and patriarchal beliefs were strong predictors of RMA.

加拿大南亚学生接受强奸神话的预测因素。

强奸迷思的传播在每种文化中都是意料之中的，然而在全球南亚（SA）移民社群中，关于强奸迷思接受度（RMA）的研究却十分有限。我们研究了性别、对性别角色的态度以及重男轻女的观念是否会导致加拿大南亚年轻人接受强奸迷思。116名不同种族的学生（17-25岁）完成了一项在线调查，其中男性和女性、国内学生和国际学生的人数相等。南澳大利亚州的学生与北美的大多数样本相似，一般都是平等主义者，RMA 较低。正如预测的那样，男性性别、对南澳大利亚女性的传统态度以及重男轻女的观念是 RMA 的主要预测因素。
