Desperate for MALE participants!

Done.

I have to say, the scenario was so unambiguous that most people would probably have given the same answers as me. Had we been given different accounts so that we needed to decide who to believe, the results might have been more revealing.

Pity that Lancaster is so far away from me... I too would love to fill in more for you than just the survey!

Yeah I'm really interested in the whole victim blame area.
Thanks for doing it :smile:

I don't really see how anyone would blame the child here unless they're trolling your survey.

Did anyone else get the feeling the questions were trying to catch you out like "HA! GOTCHA! YOU'RE A CLOSET MISOGYNIST YOU CREEP!". I was getting strong vibes of that.

Yeah there is definitely a heavy bias/agenda in that survey.

Rolled my eyes at the female victim/unknown male antagonist in the case study too.

Unfortunately in the time provided for my master's I had to limit the number of independent variables I could include. I'm currently investigating reactions to specific aspects of the scenario and so had to keep everything else as unambiguous as possible.

I'm looking to expand on it in future research though.

You'd be surprised.

Get a real job instead! You don't need a PhD in agenda-pushing!

I would suggest that anyone who blames the child has either not read the scenario properly or is mucking about. Of course, a paedophile would probably tell the story differently, including details of suggestive glances, body language or other behaviour by which the child signalled that she "wanted it".

There's a wealth of research into this area which highlights consistent victim blaming, with both child and adult victims. However, the effect does diminish the younger the child is but it's never eradicated.
It's disturbing, but it happens.

I don't have an agenda.

I'm not too sure what exactly you meant with some of the questions.

"There are jobs that men can do better than women", for example. I'd agree with this if you had added "in general" there - for example, men are generally better at physical work/labour. The question seems to ask this in absolute terms though, i.e. "all men are better than all women in some jobs", which obviously isn't true. Would I be right to assume the question asks the latter?

Yeah it asks the latter. Again, it's a pain but at this level I'm not able to create my own measures so had to use an existing one.

I'm pretty sure I've posted about 3 of these promising it'll be my last time, but I'm still a little short on male participants. Please anyone who hasn't already filled this in, would you mind completing it for my master's dissertation?

It shouldn't take you any longer than 10 minutes.

Thanks so much :smile:
