本研究共进行六项研究，以探讨强奸神话背后的结构，并编制包含45个项目的伊利诺伊州强奸神话接受量表(“IRMA”)。在第一项研究中，604名参与者(平均年龄18.8岁，53%是女性)对95个预先测试的强奸神话陈述的一致性进行了评级。探索性和验证性多变量分析揭示了一个由一般神话成分和七个子成分组成的结构。在第二项研究中，采用了新的样本和配对比较方法，重复了这种结构。研究3详细介绍了IRMA的开发程序，并提供了统计数据，证明了其良好的心理测量学特性。最后，研究4-6支持IRMA的结构效度。研究结果将从理论、测量、未来研究和干预等方面进行讨论。(C)1999年学术出版社。
A series of six studies were conducted to explore the structure underlying rape myths and to develop the 45-item Illinois Rape Myth Acceptance Scale ("IRMA"). In the first study, 604 participants (mean age 18.8 years, 53% women) rated their level of agreement with 95 pretested rape myth statements. Exploratory and confirmatory multivariate analyses revealed a structure consisting of both a general myth component and seven subcomponents. This structure was replicated in a second study using a new sample and paired comparisons methodology. Study 3 details the development procedures for the IRMA and presents statistics demonstrating its good psychometric properties. Finally, Studies 4-6 support the construct validity of the IRMA. Findings are discussed in terms of their implications for theory, measurement, future research, and intervention. (C) 1999 Academic Press.
