A systematic review of research exploring the impact of providing rape myth countering information to mock-jurors was conducted. The primary aim of the review was to inform the development of an educational intervention for jurors to reduce potential bias in their decision-making based on belief in prevalent rape myths. In total, the following 12 databases were searched: British Education Index, CINAHL, Child Development and Adolescent Studies, Criminal Justice Abstracts, Educational Administration Abstracts, ERIC, MEDLINE, PsycArticles, PsycInfo, PubMed, Scopus, and Social Care Online. The databases were filtered to return peer-reviewed publications, written in English, and published between 1980 and 2023. The search returned 6,119 potential articles. After duplicates were removed, the 3,202 remaining publications were screened. Only studies that presented rape myth countering information to participants within a mock-juror paradigm were included. Studies that did not compare an information condition to a no-information control condition were excluded, as were those which concerned male rape myths, given the focus on female rape myth beliefs in this review. Eight studies were reviewed and were critically appraised according to validity criteria utilized by Dinos et al. Some evidence emerged to suggest that the provision of judicial directions, expert witness testimony, and complainant statements regarding rape myths can impact upon jury decision-making although the findings were mixed overall. Study limitations regarding internal and external validity were frequently present. Recommendations regarding future research questions and methods are advanced, including those that can inform the development of an effective intervention for jurors.

强奸神话教育对陪审团决策的影响：系统评价


对探索向模拟陪审员提供强奸神话反击信息的影响的研究进行了系统评价。本综述的主要目的是为陪审员制定教育干预措施提供信息，以减少他们基于对普遍的强奸神话的信念而做出决策时的潜在偏见。总共检索了以下 12 个数据库：英国教育指数、CINAHL、儿童发展和青少年研究、刑事司法文摘、教育管理文摘、ERIC、MEDLINE、PsycArticles、PsycInfo、PubMed、Scopus 和 Social Care Online。这些数据库经过筛选，返回 1980 年至 2023 年间出版的同行评审出版物，这些出版物以英文撰写。检索返回了 6,119 篇潜在文章。删除重复项后，筛选剩余的 3,202 篇出版物。仅纳入了在模拟陪审员范式中向参与者提供强奸神话反驳信息的研究。鉴于本综述的重点是女性强奸神话信念，没有将信息条件与无信息对照条件进行比较的研究被排除在外，那些涉及男性强奸神话的研究也被排除在外。根据 Dinos 等人使用的有效性标准对 8 项研究进行了审查和严格评价。一些证据表明，尽管调查结果总体上喜忧参半，但司法指示、专家证人证词和投诉人关于强奸神话的陈述可能会影响陪审团的决策。经常存在关于内部和外部效度的研究局限性。关于未来研究问题和方法的建议是先进的，包括那些可以为陪审员制定有效干预提供信息的建议。
