Abstract:
Against a backdrop of legislative change that sees the taking of private sexual images underneath the clothing of a non-consenting other being made a criminal offence - upskirting - there is a need to understand the public\'s judgments of and motivations to perpetrate said behavior. In this study (N = 490), we investigated whether judgments of upskirting differed as a function of the sex of the person who was upskirted (male, female) and their perceived attractiveness (attractive, unattractive), as well as how variation in voyeuristic interest, belief in a just world, and dark personality traits predicted judgments of and proclivity to engage in upskirting. We consistently observed more lenient judgments of upskirting behavior when the person who was upskirted was attractive and male, with such judgements predicted by older age across all conditions. Moreover, proclivity to engage in upskirting was predicted by past voyeuristic behaviors, higher psychopathic personality, and being male and of older age. We discuss our findings in the context of needing to qualitatively understand the rationale underpinning these judgments, combating barriers to disclose victimization, and practitioner implications.
摘要:
在立法变革的背景下,将未经同意的其他人的衣服下拍摄私人的性图像定为刑事犯罪-穿短裙-有必要了解公众对实施上述行为的判断和动机。在这项研究中(N=490),我们调查了是否对穿裙子的判断根据穿裙子的人的性别而有所不同(男性,女性)和他们感知到的吸引力(有吸引力,没有吸引力),以及偷窥狂兴趣的变化,相信一个公正的世界,黑暗的人格特质预示着人们对穿行的判断和倾向。我们一直观察到当被穿裙子的人是有吸引力的男性时,对穿裙子的行为更宽松的判断,在所有条件下,这种判断都是由年龄增长预测的。此外,过去的偷窥狂行为预测了从事裙装的倾向,更高的精神病人格,男性和老年。我们在需要定性理解支撑这些判断的理由的背景下讨论我们的发现,打击披露受害情况的障碍,和实践者的含义。
