Abstract

Data from 140 participants from the South Pacific, where domestic violence rates are high, demonstrated less punitive responding toward the male harm-doer of a female sexual norm-violator (SNV) relative to a control victim. The impact of victim type on punitive responding was mediated by empathy toward the victim and harm-doer. In Study 2, data from 240 individuals from the South Pacific demonstrated less punitive responding toward the harm-doer of an SNV victim relative to a control and a career-focused mother victim. The victim type-punitive responding relationship was also mediated by victim blame attributions and victim moral outrage.
