Abstract
In the current research, we investigated the effects of exposure to sexist humor on male self-
reported rape proclivity and perceptions of rape. We also considered the role of type of rape.
Male students were exposed to either sexist or non-sexist jokes and either a stranger rape or
an acquaintance rape scenario. We found the highest levels of self-reported rape proclivity
and victim blame in the sexist joke-acquaintance rape condition compared to the other
conditions. We also found the lowest levels of perceived seriousness of rape and
recommended sentence in the sexist joke-acquaintance rape condition compared to the other
conditions.
