초록

본 연구에서는 성폭력 피해 주장 여성이 주체적인 모습을 보일 때 피해 주장 여성에 더 부정적인 판단을, 가해 혐의 남성에게는 더 너그러운 판단을 하게 될 것이라는 가설을 세워 이를 검증하였다. 또한 이 현상은 주체적인 피해 주장 여성이 피해자다움과 여성성에서 벗어났기 때문일 것으로 예상하여 이들을 매개변인으로 설정하였고, 더불어 남성 참가자들은 여성 참가자들보다 주체적인 피해 주장 여성을 덜 긍정적으로 볼 것으로 판단하여 참가자 성별을 조절변인으로 설정했다. 연구 결과, 가설과 달리 참가자들은 피해 주장 여성이 주체적으로 묘사된 경우 그 여성을 덜 비난하고, 더 긍정적이고 더 진실되어 보인다고 평가하였으며, 가해 혐의 남성에게 유죄와 형량을 더 주었다. 하지만 여성 참가자들보다 남성 참가자들이 주체적인 피해 주장 여성을 덜 긍정적으로 평가하여 예측한 참가자 성별의 조절효과가 확인되었다. 한편 매개효과의 경우 지각된 진실성에서 가설과 일치하는 결과가 도출되었는데, 참가자들은 주체적인 피해 주장 여성이 더 피해자답지 않다고 보았고 그것이 더 낮은 지각된 진실성을 예측했다. 또한 피해 주장 여성이 주체적으로 행동하여 지각된 여성성이 낮다고 여겨질수록 남성 참가자들은 피해 주장 여성 비난을 더 하였고 여성 참가자들은 긍정적인 인상 평가를 더 하였다.

Abstract

In this study, we tested the hypothesis that a woman who claims sexual assault would be evaluated more negatively, and the suspected man would be judged more leniently, when the woman is agentic. In addition, we expected that this phenomenon would occur because the agentic accuser does not conform to the ‘sexual crime victim’ stereotype or feminine norms, and considered these as mediator variables. We also postulated that male (vs. female) participants would have a less positive regard of the agentic accuser and tested participant gender’s moderating effects. Contrary to our hypothesis, participants criticized the agentic (vs. non-agentic) woman who claims sexual assault less and perceived her more positively and truthfully, and more likely to judged the suspected man to be guilty and recommended longer sentences. However, we observed the expected moderating effects of participant gender, so that male (vs. female) participants evaluated the agentic accuser more negatively. Mediation analyses yielded results on perceived truthfulness that were consistent with our hypothesis: Participants thought of agentic accuser as less feminine, which predicted less perceived truthfulness. Also, the less the agentic accuser was perceived to be feminine, male participants blamed her more while female participants had more positive impressions of her.
