摘要

The effects of admitting prior sexual history evidence at trial on verdict and sentencing recommendations were examined. One hundred and fifty-two California jury eligible adults from the general public who varied in age from 18 years old to 81 years old participated. Participants were given either a brief rape case vignette including the victim's prior sexual history (n = 75) or excluding the victim's prior sexual history (n = 77) and completed the Rape Responsibility Questionnaire (RRQ) and Rape Myth Acceptance Scale (RMA).; It was hypothesized that for potential jurors, a guilty verdict would be associated with (a) no information presented about the victim's prior sexual history, (b) sex of participant was female, and (c) participant, regardless of sex, had low rape myth acceptance. This hypothesis could not be tested as only 1 potential juror found the defendant not guilty. The second hypothesis was that harsher sentencing recommendations would be associated with (a) lack of information about victim's prior sexual history and (b) female sex of potential juror. There was a significant effect for level of rape myth acceptance, F(1, 148) = 5.38, p .05. Participants who had higher levels of rape myth acceptance gave significantly lower sentencing recommendations than did participants who had lower levels of rape myth acceptance. No significant relationship was found for vignette, gender, or gender and vignette.; The third hypothesis was that the item on the Rape Myth Acceptance Scale with the highest total correlation would be related to both verdict and sentencing recommendations. Item 11 on the RMA proved to have the highest item-to-total correlation (r = .69) out of the acceptable remaining items. The verdict aspect of this hypothesis was unable to be run; however, there was a statistically significant relationship between sentencing recommendation and RMA Item 11, r(152) = -.19, p .05. The higher someone scored on Item 11 the lower was his or her sentencing recommendation. Implications for lawyers and the criminal justice system were examined.
