Abstract

Evidence shows that blaming attitudes towards victims of intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) are widespread, creating a social climate that condones this form of violence. The aim of the current study is to analyse the potential impact of multiple factors surrounding the scenario and some personal and attitudinal characteristics of the respondents on the responsibility attributed to victims and perpetrators of IPVAW. To achieve this, a factorial survey design in which each respondent (N = 1,007; 51.1% women) received a unique vignette describing a hypothetical case of IPVAW was implemented in an online survey conducted in Spain. We found that most respondents (78.9%) indicated that the victim was not at all responsible for her own victimisation, whereas 73.7 per cent indicated that the perpetrator was very responsible for his own behaviour. Our results also show the prominent role that attitudes, as opposed to many characteristics of the abuse, play in evaluations of victim blame (that is, sexist beliefs and acceptability of IPVAW). Our findings reveal some persistence of victim-blaming attitudes despite years of public awareness and education efforts in Spain.
分析影响亲密伴侣暴力侵害妇女行为受害者和施暴者责任归属的因素的小故事研究
有证据表明,对亲密伴侣暴力侵害妇女行为(IPVAW)受害者的责备态度非常普遍,从而形成了一种纵容这种暴力形式的社会氛围。本研究旨在分析围绕情景的多种因素以及受访者的一些个人和态度特征对 IPVAW 受害者和施暴者责任归属的潜在影响。为此,我们在西班牙开展了一项在线调查,采用了因子调查设计,每位受访者(N = 1,007; 51.1%为女性)都收到了一个独特的小故事,描述了一个假想的对妇女实施暴力的案例。我们发现,大多数受访者(78.9%)表示受害者对自己的受害完全没有责任,而 73.7% 的受访者表示施暴者对自己的行为负有很大责任。我们的研究结果还表明,在对受害者责任(即性别歧视观念和对暴力侵害妇女行为的可接受性)的评价中,态度(相对于虐待行为的许多特征而言)起着突出的作用。我们的研究结果表明,尽管西班牙多年来一直在开展公众宣传和教育工作,但指责受害者的态度依然存在。
