Abstract

When intimate partner violence occurs, both victims and perpetrators may justify the violence. However, efforts to understand justifying violence typically rely on written descriptions of violent acts or are assessed well after the violence has occurred. Do victims and perpetrators justify violence even while they see it happening? A novel paradigm addressed this question in two cross-sectional studies (Study 1, N = 535 and Study 2, N = 480). Using this paradigm, participants in the violent and non-violent relationships gave in-the-moment and continuous justification ratings (using a slider) as they watched video clip(s), each depicting a couple having a heated and violent fight. The results showed that participants who previously had experienced victimization or perpetration were more likely to justify the violence, both during and after watching the violent clips. This research provides new insights into the nature of violence justification and offers a novel paradigm for future studies.

即使受害者和施暴者亲眼目睹亲密伴侣间的暴力行为，他们还会为这种行为辩解吗？

当亲密伴侣间发生暴力行为时，受害者和施暴者都可能会为暴力行为辩解。然而，了解为暴力行为辩解的工作通常依赖于对暴力行为的书面描述，或者在暴力行为发生后很久才进行评估。受害者和施暴者是否会在目睹暴力行为发生时为暴力行为辩解呢？在两项横断面研究（研究 1：535 人；研究 2：480 人）中，一种新颖的范式探讨了这一问题。使用这种范式，暴力关系和非暴力关系中的参与者在观看视频片段（每个片段都描述了一对夫妻激烈争吵的场景）时，给出当下和持续的合理性评级（使用滑块）。结果表明，无论是在观看暴力片段的过程中，还是在观看完暴力片段之后，以前有过受害或施暴经历的参与者都更有可能为暴力辩护。这项研究为了解暴力辩解的本质提供了新的视角，并为今后的研究提供了一种新的范式。
