Article Review: \u201cPerceptions of Revenge Pornography and Victim Blame\u201d by Tegan S. Starr and Tiffany Lavis<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Abstract<\/p>\n\n\n\n This article review evaluates Tegan S. Starr\u2019s and Tiffany Lavis\u2019 \u201cPerceptions of Revenge Pornography and Victim Blame<\/em>.\u201d The article contributes to existing literature on revenge pornography and victim blaming, offering strong evidence linking the length of a sexual relationship with a partner to receive social backlash. While the study is sound it could benefit from a broader pool of relationship length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Summary<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tegan S. Starr\u2019s and Tiffany Lavis\u2019 article begins with an explanation of the terms \u201crevenge porn\u201d and \u201cvictim blame.\u2019 They identify how an intimate image is obtained by the perpetrator, the length of time a relationship occurred, and the level of trust of the perceiver as the three factors contribute to victim blame in the context of revenge porn. Using data gathered from participants’ reactions to fictional scenarios, Starr and Lavis assessed the responses from participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Methodology<\/p>\n\n\n\n Starr and Lavis utilized a group of 186 participants that were majority female and Caucasian, with more than half of the participants engaging in intimate text messages or Snapchat messages (Starr & Lavis, 2018). An online survey was used to inquire about two separate scenarios of revenge pornography, with the lengths of the relationship being either one month or one year, and all relationships were heterosexual. All participants were shown images, without the individual’s face and asked to rate the image based on nudity and victim blame. A mean score and standard deviation were created for each question posed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Findings<\/p>\n\n\n\n Starr and Lavis found that how the intimate image was obtained had a negligible difference in victim blame. However, a significant difference was found between the two lengths of relationship that were tested. The relationship that was stated to have lasted one year had a decreased amount of victim blame when compared to the one-month counterpart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Conclusion<\/p>\n\n\n\n The article is a valuable addition to existing literature surrounding revenge pornography and victim blame. Future studies would benefit from the addition of Starr and Lavis\u2019 findings. The article is from a peer-reviewed journal, no impartiality is identifiable within the study and the scientific method is present throughout the article. The article brings concern for the rising tide of intimate images being spread or created in retaliation by ex-partners or celebrities. This article contributes to the identification of revenge pornography, the biases that exist for the perceiver, and how these biases affect the perceiver\u2019s viewpoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n References <\/p>\n\n\n\n Aria Grant CYSE 201S Professor Woodbury February 18, 2025 Article Review: \u201cPerceptions of Revenge Pornography and Victim Blame\u201d by Tegan S.
