Structural Models of the Relations of Assault Severity, Social Support, Avoidance Coping, Self-Blame, and PTSD Among Sexual Assault Survivors (2007, background): “However, victims do not blame themselves as much after violent assaults, possibly because they are more likely to label their assaults as rapes (Fisher et al., 2003) because the assaults conform to societal stereotypes of what defines real rape (Estrich, 1987).”
A Match-and-Motivation Model of How Women Label Their Nonconsensual Sexual Experiences (2011, background): “Consistent with previous research (e.g., Botta & Pingree, 1997; Fisher et al., 2003; Layman et al., 1996; Littleton et al., 2009), labelers were older than nonlabelers, and more time had elapsed since the incident for labelers than for nonlabelers.”
Sexual Assault Victimization Among Straight, Gay/Lesbian, and Bisexual College Students (2016, unknown): “Sexual assault researchers have also taken issue with the survey’s framing of rape and sexual assault in criminal language, since such language has been shown to increase underreporting among female victims of sexual assault (Fisher et al. 2003; Kahn et al. 2003).”
Was It Rape? The Function of Women's Rape Myth Acceptance and Definitions of Sex in Labeling Their Own Experiences (2004, background): “Fisher, Daigle, Cullen, and Turner (2003) found that, compared with acknowledged rapes, unacknowledged rapes were less likely to involve physical force or threats of physical force, injury to the victim, or forceful resistance by the victim.”
Long-Term Effects of labeling a Rape Experience (2006, background): “This measure has received criticism as being a “one-stage” measure because responses to the SES items are the only assessment of victimization (Fisher et al., 2003).”
