Study: 40% of college women admitted they would potentially make a false rape allegation in the future.
Among the sample of 255 women, 18 admitted to having made a false rape allegation in the past, and that they were primarily motivated by embarrassment, revenge, excitement, and fear (in order of importance).
Among the 18 who previously made false rape allegations, the best predictors of willingness to make another false allegation were beliefs that women deserve special treatment and that women are discriminated against by society.
Among women who had not made a false allegation in the past, psychopathy was the single best predictor, with minor influence from the aforementioned beliefs.
