Abstract:
Hostility toward women is an established risk factor for sexual violence and is often found to be present in men prone to sexual transgression. There are also clinical indications that high-risk rapists may have more ambivalent attitudes toward women, including the strong desire to be positively evaluated by women. We investigated attitudes toward women in high-risk male rapists, nonsexual male offenders, and matched male community controls, by means of self-report (hostility toward women, benevolent sexism, hostile sexism) and implicit measures assessing associations toward women.
Keywords:
ambivalence; hostility toward women; implicit assessment; rapists; sex offending
