Male Rape Myth Correlates Among Male and Female Canadian Adults
Journal of Interpersonal Violence2026Men experience sexual harassment, sexual violations, and rape, but these go largely unaddressed. Social norms and ideologies supporting masculine dominance and superiority claim that “real” men cannot be raped, and women cannot be…
Taking Fuel From the Fire: Regulating the Introduction of Rape Myth Infused and Irrelevant Evidence About Complainants in Rape Trials
Behavioral Sciences & the Law2026This article considers how victim‐blaming and stereotypical attitudes about appropriate victim behaviour can impact upon the operation of rape trials, particularly by prejudicing a complainant's testimony where s/he can be portrayed as…
Reducing Rape Myth Acceptance Through Educational Debunking
Journal of Interpersonal Violence2026Reducing rape myth acceptance (RMA) is essential to improve the treatment of victims and challenge the societal narratives that excuse sexual aggression. This study examined whether an educational intervention providing myth-debunking…
Effect of Rape Myth Acceptance and Empathy Priming on Juror Decisions in a Mock Sexual Assault Trial
Behavioral Sciences & the Law2026The purpose of the current study was to examine the impact of rape myth acceptance (RMA), as measured by a relatively new ‘subtle’ RMA scale, and an experimental empathy manipulation on juror verdicts in a mock sexual assault trial. A…
Giving AI agents a sense of control facilitates reinforcement learning in multitasking scenarios
PLOS One2026Having to control multiple tasks in parallel poses challenges for humans and artificial agents alike. In artificial intelligence, specific forms of reinforcement learning (RL), most notably hierarchical and model-based RL, have shown…
Elevating adversarial robustness by contrastive multitasking defence in medical image segmentation
Neural Networks2026Although Deep Learning (DL)-based Medical Image Segmentation (MIS) models are critically important, adversarial attacks substantially diminish their efficacy. Such attacks subtly perturb inputs, causing the model to produce inaccurate…
