To examine the prevalence and endorsement of cultural myths and false narratives regarding gender-based technology-facilitated violence and abuse among young men.
Surveyed 1,297 Canadian men aged 18 to 30 years regarding their beliefs about gender-based technology-facilitated violence and abuse.
Adapted the Illinois Rape Myth Acceptance (IRMA) scale to measure acceptance across seven online violence myth categories.
Participants demonstrated widespread endorsement of gender-based online violence myths, with endorsement levels varying across specific categories.
Four myths were endorsed most strongly: 'It Wasn’t Really Gender-Based Online Abuse', 'He Didn’t Mean To', 'Gender-Based Online Abuse Is a Deviant Event', and 'She Lied'.
