Ambivalent sexism has served to justify and maintain patriarchy and traditional gender roles characterized by inequality and male domination in the intimate partner violence (IPV) literature; according to the Moral Foundation Theory (MFT) there are two specific moral foundations related to inequality and domination: fairness and authority. We connect these separate fields arguing that sexist attitudes can be related to specific patterns of endorsement of the five moral foundations. Our hypothesis is that ambivalent sexism in men convicted of violence against the partner may be rooted in at least these two moral foundations, and that at least these two moral foundations may also serve to predict intention to change the violent behavior against the partner. Controlling for political orientation, the results show that benevolent sexism correlates positively with the authority foundation; and hostile sexism correlates negatively with the fairness foundation. Both foundations contribute to explaining the two dimensions of ambivalent sexism (benevolent and hostile) and only the fairness foundation predict intention to change the violent behavior against the partner. New treatment approaches could be designed to increase moral concerns about fairness and to reduce moral concerns about authority in people who, at least, have once used violence against their partners.
在亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）文献中，矛盾的性别歧视被用来为父权制和以不平等及男性主导为特征的传统性别角色辩护并维持其存在；根据道德基础理论（MFT），有两种与不平等和主导相关的特定道德基础：公平和权威。我们将这些不同的领域联系起来，认为性别歧视态度可能与对五种道德基础的特定认可模式有关。我们的假设是，被判对伴侣实施暴力的男性中的矛盾性别歧视可能至少根植于这两种道德基础，并且至少这两种道德基础也可能有助于预测改变对伴侣暴力行为的意图。在控制政治倾向的情况下，结果表明，善意的性别歧视与权威基础呈正相关；而敌意的性别歧视与公平基础呈负相关。这两种基础都有助于解释矛盾性别歧视的两个维度（善意和敌意），并且只有公平基础能预测改变对伴侣暴力行为的意图。可以设计新的治疗方法，以增加对公平的道德关注，并减少至少曾对伴侣使用过暴力的人对权威的道德关注。
