性暴力受害者在遭受攻击后经常受到朋友、家人或法律的人员的指责，平均而言，男性比女性承担更多的责任。受害者受到指责的经历可能会产生一种恶性循环，使他们今后更有可能受到指责。此外，公正世界信念（JWB）已经被广泛研究，作为一种潜在的认知机制，预测更大的责任。研究社会支持对责备的影响还没有研究JWB对这些归因的独特作用。目前的研究探讨了一个虚构的强奸受害者谁收到无论是积极的，消极的，或中立的支持，从朋友和家人在383名本科生男性和女性的样本归咎。就个人而言，社会支持和JWB都是重要的预测的指责，和女性的社会支持比男性的影响更大，具体来说，性别是一个更突出的预测指责积极支持的受害者，这表明，朋友和家人收到的积极支持可能会引起多米诺骨牌效应的支持，从其他妇女。条件效应显示，JWB是最有影响力的责任时，积极支持的受害者。对未来研究的意义和建议进行了讨论。
Victims of sexual violence are frequently blamed by friends, family, or legal personnel in the aftermath of an attack, with men attributing greater blame on average than women. Victims’ experiences of being blamed may generate a vicious cycle in which they are more likely to be blamed in the future. Moreover, just world beliefs (JWB) have been studied extensively as an underlying cognitive mechanism that predicts greater blame. Studies examining the influence of social support on blame have yet to examine the unique role of JWB on these attributions. The current study examined blame attribution of a fictional rape victim who received either positive, negative, or neutral support from friends and family in a sample of 383 undergraduate men and women. Individually, social support and JWB were both significant predictors of blame, and women were more influenced by social support than men; specifically, gender was a more salient predictor of blame toward the positively supported victim, suggesting that positive support received by friends and family may evoke a domino effect of support from other women. Conditional effects revealed that JWB were most influential on blame when responding to the positively supported victim. Implications and suggestions for future research are discussed.
