Abstract
Rape myth acceptance (RMA) is an important psychological concept in the research, assessment, education, and treatment of sexual violence. The current thesis presents the role, importance, and psychometric measurement of RMA in research and practice. Chapter 1 presents and overview of RMA, highlighting its purpose in sexual violence literature. Chapter 2 presents a systematic review of the literature around adult male rapists’ levels of endorsement of RMA. Chapter 3 examines the psychometric properties of the Illinois Rape Myth Acceptance Scale (IRMA; Payne, Lonsway, & Fitzgerald, 1999), a widely used measure of RMA. Chapter 4 aims to establish the factor structure, dimensionality, and reliability of the IRMA. Chapter 5 draws together the main findings from previous chapters, providing implications for practice and research.
