The phenomenon of adolescent dating violence directed towards women is a widespread social health problem all over the world. Various investigations over time have analysed and studied this problem from different perspectives, taking into account both the aggressors and the victims. However, apart from these perspectives there are other approaches that have been less explored. This study analyses the phenomenon from a cultural point of view. It looks at the way in which variables such as hostile sexism, benevolent sexism, and the perception of severity attributed to violent behaviour perpetrated by the aggressor can differ depending on the country of origin of a group of victimized adolescent women, specifically, from Spain and Ecuador. The data analysis, based on the construction of a moderated mediation model, revealed that while hostile sexism seems to be linked to a greater extent with traditional cultures, benevolent sexism is highly relevant in today's society, and modifies the severity that young female victims attribute to violent behaviour and ultimately affects the frequency of victimization. These results revealed the importance of culture and the way in which violence is perceived in different countries as an essential aspect that must be taken into account to guide the construction of effective prevention programs adapted to the specific target groups of adolescents.
青少年对女性施暴的现象是一个在全球范围内普遍存在的社会健康问题。随着时间的推移，各种研究从不同的角度分析和研究了这一问题，既考虑了施害者也考虑了受害者。然而，除了这些角度之外，还有其他一些方法探索得较少。本研究从文化角度分析了这一现象。它研究了这样一种方式，即诸如敌意性别歧视、善意性别歧视以及对施害者实施暴力行为的严重程度的感知等变量，可能因受害青少年女性群体的原籍国而有所不同，具体来说，就是来自西班牙和厄瓜多尔的群体。基于构建一个有调节的中介模型的数据分析表明，虽然敌意性别歧视似乎与传统文化联系更紧密，但善意性别歧视在当今社会中非常重要，并改变了年轻女性受害者对暴力行为的严重程度的认知，最终影响了受害的频率。这些结果揭示了文化的重要性以及不同国家对暴力的看法，这是一个必须考虑的重要方面，以便指导构建针对特定青少年目标群体的有效预防计划。
