The Adaptation Study of Illinois Rape Myth Acceptance Scale-Short Form to Turkish
Abstract
Rape myths are defined as “prejudicial, stereotyped or false beliefs about rape, rape victims and rapists”. It is emphasized that these myths serve to deny and justify male sexual aggression against women and they are a part of more general belief systems. The aim of the study was to investigate psychometric properties of the short form of Illinois Rape Myth Acceptance Scale (IRMA) which is a tool composed of 20 items and aimed to measure rape myth acceptance level as a general tendency. 323 randomly selected paticipants between the ages 18-65 who live in Izmir completed Illinois Rape Myth Acceptance Scale. In order to investigate the psychometric properties of the scale exploratory factor analysis was conducted and also the concurrent validity and reliability were tested. Results supported the assertion that short version of the scale allows a brief assesment for the general factor of rape myth acceptance as the original short form of the scale. The Cronbach’s alpha for the IRMA was .90. The correlation between IRMA and ATRVS (Attitudes Towards Rape Victims Scale) was .69 as an evidence for concurrent validty. The findings demonstrated that the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of IRMA-short form showed a satisfactory level of reliability and validity in Turkish sample
