Abstract

Background and aim: Knowing the gender beliefs (GB) that legitimize dating violence (DV) it is important for the prevention of this phenomenon. The aim is to evaluate the impact of GB interventions that legitimize DV.

Methods: Single group quasi-experimental study, with a sample of 148 Portuguese adolescents. A questionnaire was used to collect data, with data processing carried out using SPSS, using descriptive and inferential statistics.

Results: The interventions included an infographic on gender asymmetries, a video about DV, and posters on the topic and Health Education sessions. The largest group fell into the less conservative GB (40.5%) and the categories of non-violent relationship and considerably violent relationship had the same percentage (38.5%). The rank mean of the gender belief inventory scale before and after the interventions was, respectively, 35.24 and 33.06 points, while the same measurements of the violent youth relations inventory scale were 2.74 and 1.63 points. There were statistically significant differences (Wilcoxon: p = 0.01) between the GB score before and after the interventions, as well as in the violent youth relations (VYR) scale score (Wilcoxon: p = 0.000).

Conclusion: The interventions had a significant impact on reducing the GB legitimizing the DV and VYR, and were effective.

青少年约会暴力的性别信仰和合法化。

背景与目的：了解使约会暴力（DV）合法化的性别信仰（GB）对预防这一现象具有重要意义。目的是评估使家庭暴力合法化的GB干预措施的影响。方法：对148名葡萄牙青少年进行单组准实验研究。采用问卷调查的方式收集数据，使用SPSS进行数据处理，采用描述性统计和推理统计。结果：干预措施包括一个关于性别不对称的信息图表，一个关于家庭暴力的视频，以及关于主题和健康教育会议的海报。最大的群体属于不太保守的GB(40.5%)，非暴力关系和相当暴力关系类别的比例相同（38.5%）。干预前后性别信念量表的秩均值分别为35.24分和33.06分，暴力青少年关系量表的秩均值分别为2.74分和1.63分。干预前后的GB得分和青少年暴力关系量表得分差异有统计学意义（Wilcoxon: p = 0.01），差异有统计学意义（Wilcoxon: p = 0.000）。结论：干预措施对降低GB合法化DV和VYR有显著影响，且有效。
