Unfortunately, sexual violences are a widespread phenomenon entailing many repercussions for the victims. This traumatic event also gives rise to a large number of social representations, some of them are completely inappropriate. For example, some beliefs blamed and stigmatized victims while excusing authors. These beliefs are a part of a large rape culture does not match typical legal definitions. However, sexual violences victims perceive and assimilate what they live according to their beliefs and representation. Thus, for studying links between beliefs and sexual trauma history, we aimed to understand more about the victimology process. Moreover, we would like to review beliefs’s effects on post traumatic stress disorder. In this way, it could lead us to provide better treatment to the survivors but also to developp more adapted sexual violences prevention programs. Indeed the present study suggest to sought to find out if sexual trauma history modified the acceptance to rape myths, as assessed by the FR-IRMA scale. The second objective of this research was to compare rape myth acceptance scores with post-traumatic stress disorder symptomatology as assessed by the PCL-S scale. We administered an online questionnaire to adult women (N = 90) and divided them into a group of non-victims of sexual violence (N = 42) and victims of sexual violence (N = 48) based on their responses to a traumatic events inventory. On one hand, the non-victims, with a low score at the IRMA scale (M = 27.7), and on the other hand, the group of victims with also a low score at this rape myths acceptance scale (M = 27.9). Statistic analysis shows us a non significant difference between these two groups. In addition, with regard to post traumatic stress disorder symptoms, results do not allow us to validate our second hypothesis either. Indeed, there is no significant relationship between the score on the PCL-S scale (M = 41.4) and the score on the FR-IRMA (M = 27.8) scores in the group of female victims of sexual violence. However, we found that half of sexual violence victims have a post traumatic stress disorder according to PCL-S and DSM-4 criteria, which is significant. As developed in literature, sexual violence victims conducts to this disorder. But our results couldn’t be generalized because of a lot of study’s limits. For example, the sample size and its non-representativeness are one of the limits to the exploitation of these results. Some perspectives ensue. By including in the group of women victims of sexual violence those who were exposed in an indirect, direct vicarious or indirect vicarious manner (according to the DSM-5 criteria), significant differences appear in relation to the group of non-victims. The hypothesis of an empathy’s development towards the victims is discussed. One of the main limits of this study is its cross-sectional design, which prevents us from defining if beliefs about sexual violence were modified by exposure to this event or whether they were pre-existing. These limits open us to a large scale of future research perspectives. Furthermore, our study has clinical and socio-political implications. As a future clinician psychologist, this study allows us to question our own beliefs and representations which could affect patients’ care. Besides, it encourages us to be attentive to the victim’s beliefs and question them if they are irrational and rigid. In this way, rational emotive behavior therapy seems to be a useful tool.
