| Abstract: |
The One Ring Model suggests that when a culture presents both ideas valuing female purity (Purity Culture) and ideas promoting sexual violence against women (Rape Culture), people acquire both sets of ideas and these two idea systems can be cognitively linked. Results from Studies 1 through 4 (a) present correlational evidence of this between-construct linkage; (b) show that different subsets of ideas are linked to each construct; (c) show from modeling evidence that the data are well-accounted for by a dual construct model organized around the Rape Culture and Purity Culture constructs, and not a single-construct model; and (d) show that endorsement of purity beliefs and endorsement of rape myths can sometimes simultaneously and uniquely predict blame for a sexual assault. Results from Study 5 support the existence of the linkage by showing that priming purity ideas increases the strength of rape myth beliefs. Taken together, these studies provide preliminary evidence that, not only are purity culture ideas cognitively associated with rape culture ideas, but that they might be causally linked as well.
