Abstract

Though the study of blame is far from new, little to no research has systematically investigated how perpetrator-blame and victim-blame influence one another. The current series of studies used correlational (Study 1), experimental (Studies 2 and 3), and mediational (Studies 3A and 3B) designs to address this issue. Results indicated that when it comes to perpetrators and victims, blame is zero-sum. Across a diverse set of crimes of varying severity, the more that a victim is seen as playing a causal role in a crime, the less blame is assigned to the perpetrator. In addition, when victim-culpability is experimentally manipulated, having a more causally responsible victim actually mitigates blame for the perpetrator, and this discounting of perpetrator-blame occurs because the victim is seen as more deserving of what happened. Results are discussed in terms of real-world implications.

他们罪有应得:加害者责备和受害者责备之间的关系

尽管对责任的研究远不是什么新鲜事，但很少甚至没有研究系统地调查犯罪者的责任和受害者的责任是如何相互影响的。目前的一系列研究使用了相关（研究1）、实验（研究2和3）和中介（研究3A和3B）设计来解决这个问题。结果表明，对于犯罪者和受害者，指责是零和的。在一系列不同严重程度的犯罪中，受害者越被视为在犯罪中起因果作用，对犯罪者的指责就越少。此外，当受害者的罪责被实验性地操纵时，有一个更负因果责任的受害者实际上减轻了对犯罪者的指责，而这种对犯罪者指责的淡化是因为受害者被认为更应该受到所发生的事情的惩罚。根据现实世界的影响对结果进行了讨论。
