Illinois rape myth acceptance scale Use this scale to find out about attitudes towards sexual violence, when evaluating a sexual violence primary prevention activity. This scale was created for the Sexual Violence Primary Prevention Toolkit in September 2016. It was developed in the USA to evaluate beliefs about rape myths and general attitudes toward rape. Notes: This is a validated scale, so you may wish to use the questions together as a set. Delete “at this school” or “on this campus” to suit your audience. People have very different understandings of the terms "rape", "unwanted sex", "forced sex", and "sexual abuse" etc. This is especially true for young people. Make sure use a definition of sexual violence that your participants will understand. Also be clear that sexual violence and abuse can happen within or outside family/whānau.

Illinois rape myth acceptance scale – September 2016 Strongly Strongly Disagree Neutral Agree disagree agree 1 Women tend to exaggerate how much rape affects them. 2 Many women secretly desire to be raped. 3 Most rapists are not caught by the police. 4 If a woman doesn't physically fight back, you can't really call it rape. 5 When women are raped, it's often because the way they said "no" was ambiguous (not clear). It is preferable that a female police officer conducts the questioning when a woman reports a rape. 7 Rape accusations are often used as a way of getting back at men 8 Men from nice middle-class homes almost never rape. 9 It is usually only women who dress suggestively who are raped 10 If the rapist doesn't have a weapon, you really can't call it rape 11 Rape is unlikely to happen in the woman's own familiar neighborhood. 12 Men don't usually intend to force sex on a woman, but sometimes they get sexually carried away 6 Illinois rape myth acceptance scale – September 2016 Strongly Strongly Disagree Neutral Agree disagree agree 13 A woman who dresses in skimpy clothes should not be surprised if a man tries to force her to have sex. 14 Rape happens when a man's sex drive is out of control. 15 A lot of women lead a man on and then they cry rape. 16 A woman who "teases" a man deserves anything that might happen. 17 Although most women wouldn't admit it, they generally find being physically forced into sex a real "turn-on." 18 If a woman is raped while she is drunk, she is at least somewhat responsible for letting things get out of control. 19 If a woman is willing to "make out" with a guy, then it's not a big deal if he goes a little further and has sex.
