(1) Background: General beliefs and attitudes toward Male-to-Female Intimate Partner Violence (MFIPV) play a fundamental, critical role in the expression of violent behaviors in relationships during both adolescence and adulthood. The objective of the present study was to contrast the degree of myth acceptance regarding MFIPV, based on the sex and age of Spanish teenagers and emerging adults. (2) Methods: A sample of 1580 participants aged between 15 and 24 took part in the study. The subjects were enrolled in 34 secondary schools and two university centers spread across Seville (Spain). A multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was carried out for the data analysis. (3) Results: Overall, males had a higher level of myth acceptance than females in all the dimensions considered in the study. In the case of significantly high levels of myth acceptance, males quintupled females. The research dimension that revealed the greatest differences was romantic love. Regarding age, a degree of stability was observed in the age period of 15-17 years and 18-20 years, but this subsequently decreased for the age range of 21-24 years. (4) Conclusions: Efforts should be focused on promoting actions to challenge male mandates and narratives concerning romantic or true love.
(1) 背景：男性对女性亲密伴侣暴力（MFIPV）的普遍看法和态度在青少年和成年时期的关系中表现出暴力行为方面起着至关重要的作用。本研究的目的是根据西班牙青少年和成年早期男性和女性的性别和年龄，对比对 MFIPV 的神话接受程度。
(2) 方法：本研究共有 1580 名年龄在 15 至 24 岁之间的参与者。这些受试者来自塞维利亚（西班牙）的 34 所中学和两个大学中心。采用多元方差分析（MANOVA）进行数据分析。
(3) 结果：总体而言，在研究中考虑的所有维度中，男性的神话接受程度均高于女性。在神话接受程度显著较高的情况下，男性是女性的五倍。揭示最大差异的研究维度是浪漫爱情。关于年龄，15-17 岁和 18-20 岁之间的年龄阶段表现出一定的稳定性，但随后 21-24 岁年龄段的稳定性降低。
(4) 结论：应集中精力开展行动，挑战男性关于浪漫或真爱方面的规定和叙述。
