To what extent does the length of the marriage or the wife's faithfulness to the husband influence the perception of responsibility or trauma in marital rape? In the current study, each participant was presented with one of four marital rape vignettes. The vignettes varied only in the length of the marriage (3 years or 15 years) and the fidelity status of the wife (continuously faithful or involved in an ongoing sexual affair with another man). Results indicate that both length of marriage and fidelity status significantly influence perceptions of marital rape. Specifically, participants assigned greater responsibility tot the rape to unfaithful wives than to faithful wives. This finding is particularly salient for wives in longterm marriages as compared to wives in short-term marriages. Additionally. participants perceived rapes within longterm marriages as more traumatic than rapes within short-term marriages. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
