Abstract: | The purpose of the present study was to examine whether intentionality of alcohol or club drug use would affect observer attributions
of a victim and a perpetrator after a sexual assault. Participants were 198 male and female college students sampled from
a small college located in the United States. In general, participants attributed less blame to the victim, more guilt to
the perpetrator, and were more likely to define the assault as rape and convict the perpetrator when the substance use was
involuntary as opposed to voluntary. Participants also attributed more blame to the victim and less pleasure to the perpetrator
when the sexual assault involved GHB as opposed to Everclear. Implications of these findings are discussed. |
