许多关于强奸、受害者指责和强奸神话接受的文献都集中在美国，而在其他国家通常缺乏这样的学术活动。这篇文章提供了两个新的国家背景下的大学生的观点-印度和英国-洞察。共有693名学生参与了这项研究的数据收集。强奸神话在两国的接受度都相当低，然而，印度的学生更有可能支持强奸神话。几个人口统计特征对每个国家接受强奸神话具有重要意义。这项研究对现有文献做出了重要贡献，以解决知识匮乏的问题，促进理解，以帮助制定特定国家和适当的政策、实践以及教育和提高认识计划。特别是，这项研究提供了关于强奸神话在新国家背景下接受的新的比较结果，以帮助推动这一工作领域的学术思考。
Much of the literature on rape, victim blaming, and rape myth acceptance is focused on the United States, and there is a general dearth of such scholarly activity in other countries. This article offers insights on university students' perspectives in two new country contexts-India and the United Kingdom. A total of 693 students contributed to the data collection for this study. Rape myth acceptance was fairly low for both countries, however, students in India were more likely to endorse rape myths. Several demographic characteristics were significant for rape myth acceptance in each country. This study makes an important contribution to the extant literature to address paucity of knowledge and promote understandings to help develop country-specific and appropriate policy, practice, and education and awareness programs. In particular, the study provides novel comparative findings on rape myth acceptance in new country contexts to help advance academic thinking in this area of work.
