***Participants and Procedure*** Participants will be (N = 163) community members from the United Kingdom and Australia who will be recruited through Prolific and paid £1.01 to participate. The study will be completed online using Qualtrics survey software. Participants will be told when they first see the study advertised on Prolific that it involves listening to a judge’s instructions in a fictional case of alleged rape. After consenting, participants will be asked to provide their age and gender. Next, participants will complete the rape schema endorsement measure at time 1. Participants will answer this measure two more times–after completing a distractor task (time 2) and after watching the video of the judge’s educative instructions (time 3). To control for familiarity effects on the rape schema endorsement measure, the order in which participants are exposed to the judge’s instructions and the distractor task will be randomised. ***Materials*** **Rape Schema Endorsement Measure.** Participants’ endorsement of the rape schema will be assessed using seven items. Unlike other scales that assess attitudes about rape (i.e., rape myth acceptance scales; Burt, 1980), these items focus on participants’ beliefs about what they perceive to be typical of rape and not on their attitudes about who is typically at fault. As such, the wording of these items is based on the child sexual abuse knowledge questionnaire (Goodman-Delahunty et al., 2017), a measure that assesses mock jurors’ endorsements of stereotypes about child sexual assault. An example of one of the rape schema endorsement items is, “Victims of rape do not typically kiss or engage in other date-like behaviour with the perpetrator before the assault”, with participants responding on a 1 (*strongly disagree*) to 7 (*strongly agree*) scale. Participants’ responses to this measure will be averaged with higher mean scores indicating greater endorsement of the rape schema. **Judge’s Educative Instructions.** Before participants watch the video of the judge’s instructions, they will be asked to imagine that they are a juror in a trial where the defendant, (Neil) is accused of raping Janine. In this video, the judge first informs the jury that the defendant has been charged with rape. Next, the judge instructs the jury about the burden of proof and about what commonly occurs in cases of rape. Specifically, the judge informs the jury that a) complainants are equally likely to appear either distressed or composed in trial (Burgess & Carretta, 2016; Carretta & Burgess, 2013), b) whether a complainant appears distressed or composed does not indicate whether they are lying or not (DePaulo et al., 2003), c) most victims know the perpetrator (Cossins, 2020), d) most rapes occur at a residence (Ceccato et al., 2017; Gilbert et al., 2019), e) it is common for some consensual sexual activity to occur before the assault (Lorenz & Ullman, 2016), f) victims may either fight back or freeze during the assault (Cook & Messman-Moore, 2018; Edwards et al., 2014), and g) most perpetrators will not use force in their assault (DeGue et al., 2010; Lyndon et al., 2007). This information is consistent with the illustrations given to judges in the United Kingdom (see Judicial Studies Board, 2010). After watching this video, participants will be asked to imagine that they just listened to Janine give evidence about what occurred on the night of the alleged rape. Participants will then watch the video of the judge’s instructions at the end of the trial in which he first provides the jury with the definitions of rape and consent (see Sexual Offences Act, 2003). The judge then reminds the jury about what commonly occurs in cases of rape. **Manipulation Check.** After participants watch the videos of the judge’s instructions, they will be asked to write down the main thing the judge told them to do. These responses will be coded to indicate whether participants had been listening to the judge’s instructions. Specifically, responses which provide at least one of the instructions will be given a code of 1, responses which do not will be given a code of 0.
