 eling and the Relationship between Social Support, Rape Myths, and Labelin
 g Accuracy in Women Abstract: Labeling sexual assault and rape involves ho
 w individuals classify sexual assault and rape based on legal definitions.
  In addition to labeling, this study also examined different measures of a
 ccuracy (i.e., correctly identifying a behavioral description as rape and/
 or sexual assault) from singular and dual perspectives. The present explor
 atory pilot study examined how social support, rape myth endorsement, and 
 sexual conservatism were associated with rape and sexual assault labeling 
 and accuracy when outcomes were measured continuously and dichotomously. D
 ifferent ways of measuring both rape and sexual assault labeling and accur
 acy were examined. Participants were 241 women who completed measures of r
 ape myth acceptance and sexual conservatism and evaluated vignettes depict
 ing rape and sexual assault scenarios with validating or invalidating soci
 al support responses. Findings revealed differences between labeling sexua
 l assault and rape. Support type significantly predicted dichotomous rape 
 labeling only, and was associated with greater accuracy on several measure
 s. Assault type significantly predicted both dichotomous and continuous ra
 pe labeling, and was associated with greater accuracy on several measures 
 as well. All support and assault type interactions were non-significant in
  predicting both labeling and accuracy across all measures. Sexual conserv
 atism and the Illinois Rape Myth Acceptance “Not Really Rape” subscale
  were the most consistent predictors of incorrect labeling and poorer accu
 racy. Contrary to the study’s hypothesis, higher scores on the “She Li
 ed” subscale of the Illinois Rape Myth Acceptance scale were associated 
 with greater accuracy. Overall, findings suggest that participants were be
 tter at identifying sexual assault than rape, and that rape myth endorseme
 nt and sexual conservatism may play important roles in the recognition of 
 sexual violence. Results and suggestions of different accuracy measures wi
 ll be discussed. Advisor: Raina V. Lamade, Ph.D., ABPP Committee Members:

  sexual assault and rape involves how individuals classify sexual assault 
 and rape based on legal definitions. In addition to labeling\, this study 
 also examined different measures of accuracy (i.e.\, correctly identifying
  a behavioral description as rape and/or sexual assault) from singular and
  dual perspectives. The present exploratory pilot study examined how socia
 l support\, rape myth endorsement\, and sexual conservatism were associate
 d with rape and sexual assault labeling and accuracy when outcomes were me
 asured continuously and dichotomously. Different ways of measuring both ra
 pe and sexual assault labeling and accuracy were examined. Participants we
 re 241 women who completed measures of rape myth acceptance and sexual con
 servatism and evaluated vignettes depicting rape and sexual assault scenar
 ios with validating or invalidating social support responses. Findings rev
 ealed differences between labeling sexual assault and rape. Support type s
 ignificantly predicted dichotomous rape labeling only\, and was associated
  with greater accuracy on several measures. Assault type significantly pre
 dicted both dichotomous and continuous rape labeling\, and was associated 
 with greater accuracy on several measures as well. All support and assault
  type interactions were non-significant in predicting both labeling and ac
 curacy across all measures. Sexual conservatism and the Illinois Rape Myth
  Acceptance “Not Really Rape” subscale were the most consistent predic
 tors of incorrect labeling and poorer accuracy. Contrary to the study’s 
 hypothesis\, higher scores on the “She Lied” subscale of the Illinois 
 Rape Myth Acceptance scale were associated with greater accuracy. Overall\
 , findings suggest that participants were better at identifying sexual ass
 ault than rape\, and that rape myth endorsement and sexual conservatism ma
 y play important roles in the recognition of sexual violence. Results and 
 suggestions of different accuracy measures will be discussed.</p>\n<p>Advi
