The Relationships of Observer Characteristics to Beliefs in the Causal Responsibility of Victims of Sexual Assault
研究发现观察者的性别、对女性的态度和教条主义程度能显著预测其对性侵受害者责任的归因，而控制点、归因倾向和公正世界信念则无预测作用。
Whereas much of the previous research has focused on the influence of victim characteristics on attributions of responsibility to a rape victim, the present study sought to assess the relative effectiveness of individual differences among observers in predicting perceptions of a rape victim's responsibility in her own victimization. Specifically, observers' sex, their attitudes toward women, and their degree of dogmatism significantly contributed to the prediction of victim responsibility in a multiple regression analysis. Observers' locus of control orientation, personal-environmental attributional tendency, and belief in a just world, however, failed to be of predictive utility.
