Although this movement encountered\u00a0a large number of sustainers, there are also many people who strongly question its credibility,\u00a0especially when a sexual harassment event is reporting many years later. The aim of this study is to\u00a0investigate whether the moment in which a woman reports a sexual harassment (immediately vs.\u00a0several years later), affects the opinion and the evaluations of the event, the victim and the\u00a0perpetrator. In an experimental study, participants (N=162) were exposed to descriptions of sexual\u00a0abuses that were reported immediately or after several years. Results showed that when women\u00a0report late, people trust them less and attribute less guilty to the alleged perpetuator. This tendency\u00a0is increased among participants who attribute less secondary emotions to the victim, among\u00a0politically conservative participants, and among participants characterized by high sexism levels. We\u00a0also found the same pattern for the attribution of responsibility, with participants characterized by high sexism, a conservatory ideology and low attribution of secondary emotion.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>#MeTooLate effect: trust denial and victim blame for sexual misconduct not immediately reported &#8211; Alice Lucarini (University of Padova)<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-579","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-7"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/specolab.psy.unipd.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/579","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/specolab.psy.unipd.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/specolab.psy.unipd.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/specolab.psy.unipd.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/specolab.psy.unipd.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=579"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/specolab.psy.unipd.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/579\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":589,"href":"https:\/\/specolab.psy.unipd.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/579\/revisions\/589"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/specolab.psy.unipd.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=579"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/specolab.psy.unipd.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=579"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/specolab.psy.unipd.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=579"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
