The culture of victim blaming in sexual violence cases is a significant problem in Indonesia, influenced by patriarchal culture and traditional norms. This study aims to analyze the influence of belief in the Just World Assumption, acceptance of Modern Rape Myths, individual moral foundations, and views on the culture of honor on victim blaming tendencies. This study used an experimental quantitative approach involving 155 participants who were selected through valid questionnaires such as the Global Belief of Just World Scale, Acceptance of Modern Myths about Sexual Aggression Scale, and Moral Foundation Questionnaire. Regression analysis showed that acceptance of Modern Rape Myths and Fairness/Reciprocity in Moral Foundation were the main predictors of victim blaming in Indonesia, while factors such as Authority/Subversion, Purity/Sanctity, and honor culture had no significant influence. The results of this study confirm the importance of a culture-based approach to reduce victim blaming culture in Indonesia, involving stakeholders such as religious leaders and the media to effectively change people's perceptions.
