对约会强奸的看法和反应影响到妇女是否会报告她们的受害情况以及当局是否会起诉被告。本研究考察了攻击者（黑人或白色人）和受害者（黑人或白色人）的种族以及被试的性别（男性或女性）对约会强奸感知的影响。75名受试者阅读了一个描述以强迫性交结束的约会的场景。受试者回答了一系列关于互动的问题。据推测，（a）当受害者是黑人妇女时，与受害者是白色妇女相比，强迫性接触被认为不那么严重，（B）黑人男性和白人女性之间的强迫性活动比同一种族夫妇之间或白色男性和黑人女性之间的同样活动更有可能被视为约会强奸和犯罪;（c）女性比男性更有可能将强迫性接触定义为犯罪，女性更倾向于起诉犯罪者。其他假设得到了有力支持。建议对社会进行教育，以准确的信息取代关于约会强奸的陈规定型观念。否则，妇女，特别是黑人妇女，将继续不愿意报告性侵犯，强奸案将难以起诉，攻击者将继续伤害他人。
Perceptions of and reactions to date rape affect whether women will report their victimizations and whether authorities will prosecute the accused. The current research examines the effects of race of assailant (Black or White) and victim (Black or White) and gender (male orfemale) of subjects on perceptions of a date rape. The 75 subjects read a scenario describing a date that ended with forced sexual intercourse. The subjects responded to a series of questions about the interaction. It was hypothesized that (a) a forced sexual encounter would be perceived as less serious when the victim was a Black woman than if she were a White woman, (b)forced sexual activity between a Black male and a Whitefemale would be more likely to be considered date rape and a crime than would the same activity between a same-race couple or between a White male and a Blackfemale; (c)females would be more likely than males to define the forced sexual encounter as a crime, and females would be more in favor of prosecuting the perpetrator The second hypothesis was not supported. The other hypotheses were strongly supported. It is suggested that society be educated to replace stereotypes about date rape with accurate information. Otherwise, women-particularly Black women-will continue to be reluctant to report sexual assaults, cases of rape will be difficult to prosecute, and the assailants will continue to victimize others.
