Abstract

ABSTRACTThe aim of the present article is to present and discuss the results of a Portuguese national study with 4696 university students, 3846 (81.9%) self-identified as females, 843 (17.8%) self-identified as males, and 16 (0.3%) non-binary people (M = 22.4 years old; SD = 5.132). With the objective of characterizing the relationship between gender beliefs and dating violence practices, an online questionnaire was administered. Results show that 2524 (53.7%) students had suffered an episode of dating violence and 1599 (34%) had perpetrated one at least once during their life. Female students were more victimized than male students, while male students perpetrated more dating violence than female participants. An association between gender beliefs legitimizing violence and gender was found, with male students endorsing more gender beliefs legitimizing violence than female students. Additionally, those who suffered from and perpetrated dating violence presented higher levels of gender beliefs legitimizing violence than those who did not suffer from or perpetrate it.KEYWORDS: Dating violencegenderbeliefsuniversity studentsPortugal Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis study was part of a project funded by the Portuguese government, through Programa Operacional Inclusão Social e Emprego (grant number 03-4437-FSE-000227).

葡萄牙大学生的性别信仰和约会暴力行为

摘要本文的目的是介绍和讨论一项葡萄牙国家研究的结果，其中4696名大学生，3846名(81.9%)自认为是女性，843名(17.8%)自认为是男性，16名(0.3%)非二元人群(M = 22.4岁;Sd = 5.132)。为了描述性别信仰与约会暴力行为之间的关系，我们进行了一份在线问卷调查。结果表明，2524名(53.7%)学生经历过约会暴力，1599名(34%)学生一生中至少发生过一次约会暴力。女生比男生受到的伤害更大，而男生比女生犯下的约会暴力更多。研究发现，将暴力合法化的性别信念与性别之间存在关联，男学生比女学生更支持将暴力合法化的性别信念。此外，那些遭受和实施约会暴力的人比那些没有遭受或实施约会暴力的人表现出更高的性别信仰，认为暴力是合法的。关键词:约会暴力;性别观念;大学生;法律披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。本研究是由葡萄牙政府通过Programa operational inclusion o o Social e Emprego(资助号03-4437-FSE-000227)资助的项目的一部分。
