The daunting observation that victims of rape often are held responsible for their assault has primarily been examined with heterosexual female victims of a male attacker. Much less is known about men as victims or the effects of sexual orientation of the victim (Davies & Rogers, 2006). We expected more blame attributed to male victims in general and to homosexual males and heterosexual females in particular. Employing a vignette type of study, we recruited adults (N = 107 at time of submission) to participate in an experiment with a 2 (sex of participant) x 2 (sex of victim) x 2 (sexual orientation of victim) x 2 (degree of rape seriousness) between-subjects design, and several measures of blame attribution as dependent variables. Preliminary analyses from the ongoing data collection suggest, among other results, that male victims are held more responsible. The theoretical implications and practical applications will be discussed.
