Violence against women in heterosexual intimate relationships is a major social problem with serious physical and psychological consequences for the victims. There is a line of research that seeks to analyze how ideological variables and contextual variables influence the way in which this type of violence is perceived. This study analyzed the relationship between hostile sexism, benevolent sexism and social dominance in the acceptance of the myths about violence against women in intimate relationships. A total of 215 Spanish university students (125 women and 90 men) participated in the research. The results indicate that hostile sexism and social dominance orientation act as factors that influence the acceptance of such myths in men. Benevolent sexism did not act in this way. The data reconfirm the importance of hostile sexism and social dominance orientation in the perception of violence against women, in this case, that which is committed by their partners (or ex-partners) in the area of intimate relationships.
异性亲密关系中的暴力侵害妇女行为是一个重大的社会问题,会给受害者带来严重的身心后果。有一系列研究试图分析意识形态变量和情境变量如何影响对这种暴力的感知方式。本研究分析了敌意性别歧视、仁慈性别歧视和社会支配倾向在接受亲密关系中暴力侵害妇女神话方面的关系。共有 215 名西班牙大学生(125 名女性和 90 名男性)参与了这项研究。结果表明,敌意性别歧视和社会支配倾向是影响男性接受此类神话的因素。仁慈性别歧视则没有这样的作用。这些数据再次证实了敌意性别歧视和社会支配倾向在感知暴力侵害妇女行为(在这种情况下,是指伴侣(或前伴侣)在亲密关系领域实施的暴力)方面的重要性。
