Transmission of rape myths is expected in every culture, yet limited research exists on rape myth acceptance (RMA) within global South Asian (SA) diasporas. We examined whether gender, attitudes toward gender roles, and patriarchal beliefs contributed to RMA among young SA adults in Canada. An ethnically diverse sample of 116 (ages 17–25) students, comprising equal numbers of men and women and domestic and international students, completed an online survey. SA students were generally egalitarian with low RMA similar to the majority of North American samples. As predicted, male gender, traditional attitudes towards SA women, and patriarchal beliefs were strong predictors of RMA.

加拿大南亚学生接受强奸神话的预测因素

强奸神话在每种文化中都会传播，但全球南亚 (SA) 侨民中关于强奸神话接受度 (RMA) 的研究有限。我们研究了性别、对性别角色的态度和父权信仰是否会导致加拿大南澳年轻成年人的 RMA。116 名不同种族的学生（17-25 岁）样本完成了一项在线调查，其中男性和女性以及国内和国际学生的人数相等。与大多数北美样本类似，南澳学生普遍持平等态度，RMA 较低。正如预测的那样，男性、对南非女性的传统态度以及父权观念是 RMA 的强烈预测因素。
