College Students' Attribution of Blame in Father–Daughter Incest

Rebecca A. Adams

Ball State University

Incest is one of the most repugnant things that can occur. If the educational programs have been effective, it would appear that individuals would not blame the victim. The Jackson Incest Blame Scale was administered to students in marriage and family classes at a midwestern university. Female students strongly supported the concept that women being treated as sex objects and sex and violence in the media influence offenders to commit incest. Discussion raises questions about the potential incongruent treatment of women in university family and consumer sciences departmental curricula.

Key Words: incest • attribution of blame • family and consumer sciences education • gender perceptions
