ABSTRACT
(typically defined as encompassing any number of cognitive constructs)
are thought to play a role in sexual aggression. However, rape-related
cognition scales often assess these cognitive constructs as one. The
purpose of this study is to explore the factor structure of these measures
using a sample of 191 community men. We found that items from the
Rape Myth Acceptance, RAPE, and Illinois Rape Myth Acceptance (IRMA)
scales formed one factor, which was significantly related to sexual
aggression. We further found that four and six IRMA subscales were
significantly related to past and likelihood of sexual aggression,
respectively. Additionally, one IRMA subscale was independently related to
past and likelihood of sexual aggression. The results are discussed in
terms of implications and direction for future research.
