Abstract

The present research aims to investigate risk perception, value judgment, and gender effect on rape. For this purpose, two studies were conducted. Study 1 examined the risk perception of rape and gender effect of the perception. The results showed that respondents perceived rape as a serious crime, but its frequency estimation was not high. And the estimation of probability for others to become a rape victim was higher than the estimation for self. Moreover the estimation for women was higher than the estimation for men. In study 2, respondents were provided with four rape scenarios(homosexual / heterosexual rape), and asked to make value judgment regarding the severity of conduct and the degree of punishment and to attribute the offender's conduct and gender effect of those judgments. The results showed gender difference. In general, women showed sterner ethical standards, heavier sentencing, and less situational attribution than men did. Especially, women showed stronger gender effect on the case where a man raped a woman compared to other cases. However, men sentenced shorter sentence in the case where a woman raped a man compared to other cases. Finally, implications and limits of the study were discussed.
