The present research investigated the prevalence and effects of rape myths in newspaper headlines. In study 1, a content analysis of online news headlines from US media (N= 555) surrounding the 2003 - 2004 Kobe Bryant sexual assault case showed that 10% endorsed a rape myth. In study 2, students at a mid- sized university in the mid-western USA (N= 154) read headlines endorsing or not endorsing rape myths. Male participants exposed to mythen-dorsing headlines were (a) less likely to think Bryant was guilty than those exposed to non- myth headlines, (b) more likely to hold rape- supportive attitudes than those exposed to non- myth headlines, and (c) more likely to hold rape-supportive attitudes than were female participants exposed to myth-endorsing headlines.
