Abstract
The main aim of the present study was to specify and test a structural model to examine the relationships between four psychopathy dimensions (Interpersonal Manipulation, Callous Affect, Erratic Lifestyle, and Antisocial Behavior), childhood exposure to violence, and rape myth acceptance while controlling for gender, age, sample type (prisoner vs. non-prisoner), and
relationship status. Participants were a sample of non-offending adults (n = 319) recruited from the University of Security in Poznan, and a sample
of prisoners (n = 129) incarcerated in Stargard Szczecinski Prison. Results indicated that the model provided a good fit for the data, and that Callous Affect and childhood exposure to violence had a significant positive effect on
attitudes toward rape and rape victims. Theoretical and practical implications
of our findings are discussed.
