事出有因，情有可原？——台灣青少年對約會強暴之寬容性研究

本研究旨在探討台灣青少年的性別、性別角色態度、約會強暴風險意識及經驗，如何影響他們對約會強暴的寬容性。研究發現，台灣青少年對約會強暴的寬容性，多受性別、性別角色態度，及約會強暴風險意識／經驗的影響。一般而言，男性具較保守性別角色態度，及具有約會強暴風險意識與經驗的青少年，對約會強暴抱持著較高度的寬容性。研究結果與西方文獻大致相符。較為獨特的是，在性別角色態度上，男生在「男性優勢的追求模式」因素上，較女生略為開明；其次，具約會強暴受害風險意識及受害經驗的女生，反而對約會強暴抱持較寬容的態度。比較分對男女生所作之迴歸分析結果，研究發現：對約會強暴寬容性最具影響力的變項，對男生而言，是約會強暴的加害風險意識，其次才是性別角色態度；對女生而言，正好相反：性別角色態度具最顯著的影響力，受害風險意識次之。針對研究發現，本研究討論國內約會強暴防制之教育意涵及策略。

This study examines the effects of gender and sex roles on attitudes toward date rape among adolescents in Taiwan by employing a purposive-stratified sampling method. Data were collected in mid 1997 from 2970 senior high and college students. Compared with American literature on date rape attitudes, Chinese adolescents are more forgiving toward date rape, particularly situations involving a woman's non-resistance or when a woman behaves in a provocative manner. Gender, sex role attitudes, and date rape awareness/experience affects adolescent attitudes toward date rape. For male adolescents, date rape risk awareness and experience predict forgiving attitudes towards date rape, while for female adolescents, the best predictors seem to be sex role attitudes. Possible explanations to these findings and educational implications for date rape prevention are discussed.
