    El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar cómo influyen algunas variables de carácter ideológico (sexismo ambivalente, cultura del honor y autoritarismo de derechas) en la aceptación de los mitos sobre la violación (AMV). Participaron 214 estudiantes universitarios (83 hombres y 131 mujeres) con una edad media de 20.39 años. Los resultados muestran que existe una elevada correlación entre AMV y sexismo hostil, sexismo benévolo, cultura del honor y autoritarismo de derechas. El sexismo hostil y el autoritarismo de derechas predicen AMV tanto en la muestra de hombres como en la de mujeres. El sexismo benévolo predice AMV en la muestra de mujeres. Además, en la muestra de los hombres, el autoritarismo de derechas interacciona con sexismo hostil para predecir RMA, mientras en la muestra de mujeres el autoritarismo de derechas interacciona con el sexismo benévolo para predecir AMV. Estos resultados muestran la estrecha relación que existe entre ciertas variables de carácter ideológico y AMV.

    The purpose of this work is to analyse how some ideological variables (ambivalent sexism, culture of honour, and right-wing authoritarianism) affect rape myths acceptance (RMA). Two hundred and fourteen university students (83 men and 131 women), mean age 20.39 years old, participated. The results show that there is a high correlation between RMA and hostile sexism, benevolent sexism, culture of honour, and right-wing authoritarianism. Hostile sexism and right-wing authoritarianism predict RMA in both male and female samples. Benevolent sexism predicts RMA in the female sample. In addition, in the male sample right-wing authoritarianism interacts with hostile sexism to predict RMA, while in the female sample right-wing authoritarianism interacts with benevolent sexism to predict RMA. These results show the close relationship existing between certain ideological variables and RMA.
