As with the literature on the offense behavior of rapists, it is currently not possible to conclude that there is evidence for changes in the knowledge structures of rapists as a function of expertise. Despite this, the potential power expertise has in explaining when we might expect explicit rape-supportive questionnaire or interview responses to converge and diverge with implicitly measured cognitive distortions suggests that researchers should incorporate an examination of expertise into their research agendas. However, it is worth sounding a note of caution from another strand of research. If questionnaire responses from novices that appear to endorse distorted views are truly the outcome of cognitive processes that are less stable and entrenched, researchers might expect to see evidence of more distorted responses when questionnaire measures of cognitive distortions are presented after rape proclivity measures in novice rapists/rape-prone individuals. In other words, only when they have admitted an arousal to or a propensity towards rape should they feel cognitive pressure to justify or minimize their responses. However, a series of studies by Bohner and colleagues appears to show the opposite finding. They found that the correlation between rape myth acceptance and rape proclivity was stronger when rape myths were presented first (Bohner, Siebler, & Schmelcher, 2006; Bohner et al., 1998). This suggests that the accessibility of rape myths appears to heighten self-reported rape proclivity rather than men seeking to minimize or excuse their proclivity by citing myths or distortions about rape. Only well designed studies will tease apart the relationships between rape proclivity, excuse making/minimizations, truly distorted belief structures, and expertise.
