CISPA has the support of organizations that include AT&T, Facebook, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, Symantec, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Verizon, with Facebook sending over a particularly supportive letter of endorsement.
Endorsement of rape-supportive attitudes was unrelated to average judgments: B = 0.0005, t(248.0) = 0.196, ns, d = 0.03.
Endorsement of rape-supportive attitudes was unrelated to utilization of clothing style: B = 0.001, t(248.0) = 1.205, ns, d = 0.15.
The IRMA (Payne, Lonsway, & Fitzgerald, 1999) is a 45-item questionnaire that assesses endorsement of rape-supportive attitudes.
Endorsement of rape-supportive attitudes was related weakly, and only at a trend level, to utilization of contextual sexual relevance: B = 0.001, t(248.1) = 1.712, p < 0.10, d = 0.22.
We also were unable to examine the associations between reliance on each of these dimensions and relevant individual-difference variables, such as endorsement of rape-supportive attitudes.
Finally, endorsement of rape-supportive attitudes correlated negatively with reported reliance on affect and positively with reported reliance on attractiveness, consistent with the observed data.
Misperception is associated both theoretically and empirically among men with an increased risk of exhibiting sexually coercive and aggressive behavior, as commonly indicated by endorsement of rape-supportive attitudes (e.g., Murnen et al., 2002).
As detailed below, college men on average relied on all four psychological dimensions of the scenes when judging women's sexual interest; greater endorsement of rape-supportive attitudes was associated with lesser reliance on women's affect and greater reliance on women's attractiveness; and men's reliance on women's affect and attractiveness showed a very strong negative association.
Endorsement of rape-supportive attitudes showed a weak negative association with self-reported reliance on sexual interest, r(245) = −0.196, p < 0.01, and a weak positive association with self-reported reliance on provocativeness-of-dress and attractiveness, rs(245,246) = 0.217 and 0.228, p values <0.01.
