Three groups (20 incarcerated rapists, 21 incarcerated nonrapists, and 30 nonincarcerated controls) assessed the likelihood of sexual activity between a heterosexual couple, depicted either verbally or pictorially. Scenarios involved an experimental manipulation in terms of the female's dress. Overall sexual activity between the couple was perceived to be more likely under the verbal rather than pictorial format. When asked what additional information they required, information regarding "past acquaintance" was requested significantly more by incarcerated rapists and nonincarcerated controls than it was by incarcerated nonrapists. The present study's findings are discussed in terms of methodological issues and current research on perceptions of consensual and nonconsensual sex (i.e., rape).
