Rape Attitudes and Beliefs Scale (RABS)

The Rape attitudes and Beliefs Scale (RABS) is 50-item scale intended for use in the assessment of "rape-supportive" attitudes and beliefs among college men. Each response is assigned a numerical value (4 to 1), and higher scores indicated greater acceptance of "rape-supportive" attitudes and beliefs (Burgess, 2007).
