The acceptance of myths about intimate partner violence against women by university students can lead to inappropriate and biased professional interventions due to their gender blindness. The aim of this study is to analyze the acceptance of myths about IPVAW among college students, considering differences by gender and degree course. To do this, we conducted a survey with 1531 first-year college students (55.8% women; mean age 18.89 years) and found that a third of the students did not reject the IPVAW myths and a third of them normalized violence. We also found a higher level of acceptance of violence minimization myths in men than in women, especially in Social Sciences and Engineering. The study reveals the need to educate future professionals about IPVAW myths, with an emphasis on minimization and normalization of violence. It also provides useful information for designing awareness programs.
大学生对针对女性的亲密伴侣暴力神话的接受，可能会因其性别盲点而导致不适当和有偏见的专业干预。本研究的目的是分析大学生对亲密伴侣暴力侵害妇女行为神话的接受情况，同时考虑性别和学位课程的差异。为此，我们对1531名大学一年级学生（55.8%为女性；平均年龄18.89岁）进行了一项调查，发现三分之一的学生不拒绝亲密伴侣暴力侵害妇女行为的神话，其中三分之一的学生将暴力行为正常化。我们还发现，男性比女性更倾向于接受暴力最小化的神话，尤其是在社会科学和工程专业。该研究表明，有必要对未来的专业人员进行关于亲密伴侣暴力侵害妇女行为神话的教育，重点是暴力的最小化和正常化。它还为设计提高认识计划提供了有用的信息。
