Abstract
Abstract African Americans (N = 244) were surveyed to explore the influence of blame attribution, racial identity, religious faith maturity, and demographic characteristics on attitudes excusing sexual exploitation of children. Ninety-three percent of African Americans were non-excusing of sex between an adult and a child with Victim and Offender blame correlating significantly with low scores on the ATSA. Multiple regression analyses revealed: Racial Identity significantly predicted ATSA; Age and Gender predicted Situational Blame; Gender, Age, Vertical Faith and Collective Identity predicted Victim Blame; Gender and Value for Institutions predicted Societal Blame; and Gender predicted Offender Blame. Results support the relationship between multidimensional factors and African American attitudes toward incest and child sexual abuse.
