- 中文摘要： This study employed a 2*2*2*2 factorial design to examine the effects of the perpetrator's attractiveness, the victim's sexual experiences, and the dating situation (the perpetrator's intoxication and date location) on Taiwanese adolescents' attribution of responsibility and blame in the case of date rape. Employing a stratified and purposive sampling design, this study recruited a total of 2,970 high school and university/college students (41% male, 59% female) in Taiwan to participate in a questionnaire survey. After designing 16 varied date rape scenarios, the study randomly assigns one version to each participant for the attribution of responsibility and blame towards the perpetrator and the victim. The data suggest that the attribution of blame and the attribution of moral and legal responsibility are related but distinct concepts for the study participants in Taiwan, as reflected in the various effects of experimental factors on the respective attributive outcomes for each gender. The study found that Taiwanese adolescents attributed higher responsibility and blame to the perpetrator than to the victim. However, male adolescents attributed higher responsibility and blame to the perpetrator, while female adolescents attributed higher responsibility and blame to the victim. In addition, compared with males, female participants were found to be less likely to label the incident rape and less likely to consider the perpetrator guilty of rape. In addition, this study found that sexual experience of the victim and the dating situation (including date location and perpetrator's intoxication) have consistent effects on the attributive outcomes. However, the attractiveness of the perpetrator seems to induce inconsistent effects on the attributive outcome for each gender. The study findings are discussed in relation to previous research, and feminist implications for date rape education and counseling programs in Taiwan are suggested.
