Abstract

The current work investigates the effects of target of perception's waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) on perceivers' judgments of sexual unrestrictedness and sexual victimization prototypicality. Studies 1a and 1b found that women with lower WHRs were perceived as relatively more sexually unrestricted. Studies 2a and 2b found that women with lower WHRs were perceived as relatively more prototypic of sexual victimization. Study 3 built on these findings to consider implications for responses to sexual assault disclosures. Perceivers disbelieved and minimized a disclosure of assault relatively more when made by a woman with a higher WHR. In sum, this body of work implicates WHR as a body cue that can inform consequential sexual perception. Thereby, this work identifies factors that could influence judgments of credibility of sexual violence reports, which may have implications for hesitancy to report sexual violence.

腰臀比可预测性观念和对性侵犯披露的反应。
本研究调查了感知目标的腰臀比(WHR)对感知者判断性不受限制和性侵害原型的影响。研究 1a 和 1b 发现,腰臀比较低的女性被认为在性方面更不受限制。研究 2a 和 2b 发现,WHR 值较低的女性被认为是性受害者的原型。研究 3 以这些发现为基础,考虑了对性侵犯披露的反应的影响。知觉者对 WHR 值较高的女性所披露的性侵犯信息的不信任和最小化程度相对较高。总之,这些研究结果表明,WHR 是一种身体线索,它可以提供相应的性知觉。因此,这项研究确定了可能影响性暴力报告可信度判断的因素,这可能会对报告性暴力的犹豫不决产生影响。
