Abstract:
We examined how individual differences in masculine honor beliefs (MHBs) related to third-person perceptions of revenge pornography (i.e., a man distributing nude photos of his ex-girlfriend) in response to a break-up. Consistent with our hypotheses, higher levels of MHBs were associated with higher ratings of the woman as negative, higher levels of victim-blaming the woman, and higher ratings of revenge pornography as justified. Furthermore, participants perceived the woman as more at fault, and the man\'s behavior as more justified, when she cheated on him prior to his revenge (compared to when she did not cheat). Overall, our results suggest that both higher levels of MHBs and instances of infidelity inspire beliefs that disempower women victims. Our research extends our understanding of how MHBs and situational factors relate to perceptions of revenge pornography, including its justification and the stigmatization of its victims.
摘要:
我们研究了男性荣誉信仰(MHBs)的个体差异与第三人称对复仇色情的看法(即,一名男子散发前女友的裸照)以应对分手。与我们的假设一致,更高水平的MHBs与更高的女性负面评级相关,更高水平的受害者指责女人,更高的复仇色情评级是合理的。此外,参与者认为这个女人更有过错,和男人的行为更合理,当她在他报复之前欺骗他(与她没有欺骗的时候相比)。总的来说,我们的结果表明,较高水平的MHBs和不忠事件都激发了使女性受害者失去权能的信念.我们的研究扩展了我们对MHBs和情境因素与复仇色情观念的理解,包括其理由和对受害者的污名化。
