Specifically, I investigated whether adolescent femininity ideology predicts rape myth acceptance in a sample of 382 male and female first-year university students between the ages of 18 and 22 in South Africa. Convenience sampling was used, and data was collected using an online survey. The survey contained questions on basic biographical information, the Adolescent Femininity Ideology Scale (AFIS), the Adolescent Femininity Ideology Scale for Boys (AFIS-B), and the updated version of the Illinois Rape Myth Acceptance Scale (IRMA-MV). Multiple regression analysis assessed whether adolescent femininity ideology could predict rape myth acceptance. The results indicate that adolescent femininity ideology is a predictor of rape myth acceptance in males, with scores on the AFIS-B predicting 33% of the variance of scores on the IRMA-MV (p < .00). The AFIS was not a significant predictor of scores on the IRMA-MV for females, indicating that femininity ideology does not predict rape myth acceptance in females. Females’ and males’ scores on the IRMA-MV differed significantly (p<.00). It is evident in the current sample that males are more likely than females to accept rape myths; however, the overall scores on the IRMA-MV were relatively low, indicating that in general there is a rejection of overt rape myths. AFRIKAANS OPSOMMING: My studie het die verwantskap tussen adolessente feminiteitsideologie en die aanvaarding van verkragtingsmite ondersoek. Daar is spesifiek ondersoek gedoen of adolessente feminiteitsideologie die aanvaarding van die verkragtingsmite in ’n steekproef van 382 manlike en vroulike eerstejaar-universiteitstudente tussen die ouderdomme van 18 en 22 jaar in Suid-Afrika voorspel. Gerieflikheidsteekproefneming is gebruik en data is met behulp van ʼn aanlyn opname ingesamel. Die opname het vrae gehad oor basiese biografiese inligting, die Adolessente Feminiteitsideologieskaal (Adolescent Femininity Ideology Scale, AFIS), die Adolessente Feminiteitsideologieskaal vir Seuns (Adolescent Femininity Ideology Scale for Boys, AFIS-B), en die bygewerkte weergawe van die Illinois Verkragtingsmite-aanvaardingskaal (Illinois Rape Myth Acceptance Scale, IRMA-MV) bevat. Meervoudige regressie het bepaal of adolessente feminiteitsideologie die aanvaarding van verkragtingsmite kon voorspel. Die uitslae het daarop gedui dat adolessente feminiteitsideologie die aanvaarding van verkragtingsmite by mans kon voorspel, met tellings op die AFIS-B wat 33% van die afwyking van tellings op die IRMA-MV (p<.00) voorspel het. Die AFIS was nie ’n beduidende voorspeller van tellings op die IRMA-MV vir vroue nie, wat daarop dui dat feminiteitsideologie nie die aanvaarding van verkragtingsmite by vroue voorspel nie. Vroue en mans se tellings op die IRMA-MV het beduidend verskil (p<.00). Dit is in die huidige steekproef duidelik dat mans ’n groter waarskynlikheid toon om verkragtingsmites te aanvaar, maar oorkoepelende tellings op die IRMA-MV was relatief laag. Dit dui daarop dat daar grootliks ’n verwerping van overte verkragtingsmites is.
