Abstract:
»Sexual violence in film is often sensationalized for cinematic effect and can promote myths about the reality of sexual assault in America. This study examined how viewers interpret incidents of sexual violence in film. Data were collected from over 600 films (1971-2020) featuring sexual violence through the Internet Movie Database (IMDb). A content analysis methodology was used to code and analyze themes and patterns of text in user-generated keywords and film summary sections. Preliminary findings show viewers were more likely to label sexual violence as rape than sexual assault. Further, euphemisms or romanticized terms were often used to minimize sexual violence. Although there is some accurate terminology used to describe sexual violence, indications of rape myth acceptance and misconceptions were on display. The need for continued sexual assault education is discussed.«
