Sexual assault on university campuses continues to be a serious problem in South Korea. The current study examined attitudes toward women and empathy as predictors of rape myth acceptance among South Korean university students. Further, this study explored whether students’ participation in a rape education program at universities has an impact on their acceptance of rape myths. Surveys from 415 undergraduate students at a private university in South Korea were analyzed using a four-step hierarchical multiple regression analysis. The study findings indicated that higher levels of rape myth acceptance were predicted by the greater endorsement of traditional attitudes toward women and decreased levels of empathy. In addition, this research found the gender effect on rape myth acceptance, with male students holding significantly higher levels of rape myth acceptance than their female counterparts. However, this study found no significant impact of attending a rape prevention program on rape myth acceptance among the sampled student participants. Implications for rape prevention program instruction and future research directions are discussed.
Abstract
Sexual assault on university campuses continues to be a serious problem in South Korea. The current study examined attitudes toward women and empathy as predictors of rape myth acceptance among South Korean university students. Further, this study explored whether students’ participation in a rape education program at universities has an impact on their acceptance of rape myths. Surveys from 415 undergraduate students at a private university in South Korea were analyzed using a four-step hierarchical multiple regression analysis. The study findings indicated that higher levels of rape myth acceptance were predicted by the greater endorsement of traditional attitudes toward women and decreased levels of empathy. In addition, this research found the gender effect on rape myth acceptance, with male students holding significantly higher levels of rape myth acceptance than their female counterparts. However, this study found no significant impact of attending a rape prevention program on rape myth acceptance among the sampled student participants. Implications for rape prevention program instruction and future research directions are discussed.
