El cuestionario sobre mitos de violación: propiedades psicométricas, psicopatía y autoestima
The rape myth questionnaire: Psychometric properties, psychopathy, and self-esteemBarra lateral del artículo
Contenido principal del artículo
Los mitos de violación son un conjunto de actitudes que facilitan la justificación de la violencia sexual. En una muestra compuesta por 511 adultos de Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, Argentina, con un 83% de mujeres y el resto varones (edad media = 27.8; SD = 9.7), se exploraron las propiedades psicométricas de un cuestionario sobre los mitos de la violación sexual para determinar si el género, la edad, la autoestima y la psicopatía predicen los mitos de violación. Los resultados de un análisis factorial exploratorio indicaban cuatro factores: la víctima lo provocó, no tener la intención, negar la violación y la víctima miente. Un análisis factorial confirmatorio replicaba dicha estructura. Las alfas de Cronbach iban de .74 a .83 para las dimensiones. El género (ser varón), la edad, la psicopatía y la autoestima eran predictores significativos de los mitos de violación. OBJETIVO
Rape myths are attitudes that facilitate the justification of sexual violence. In a sample of 511 adults from the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, Argentina, with 83% women and the rest men (mean age = 27.8; SD = 9.7), we explored the psychometric properties of a questionnaire on rape myths to determine if gender, age, self-esteem, and psychopathy predict rape myths. The results of an exploratory factor analysis indicated four factors (the victim provoked it, not having the intention, denying the violation, and the victim lying). A confirmatory factor analysis replicated this structure. Cronbach's alphas ranged from .74 to .83 for dimensions. Gender (male), age, psychopathy, and self-esteem were significant predictors of rape myths.
