Abstract

Intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) is a major social and public health problem of global proportions. Public attitudes toward IPVAW shape the social environment in which such violence takes place, and attitudes of acceptability of IPVAW are considered a risk factor to actual IPVAW. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a scale measuring acceptability of IPVAW (A-IPVAW). To this end, a sample of 1,800 respondents was recruited via social media. A second sample of 50 IPVAW offenders was used for concurrent validity analyses. Following a cross-validation approach and using item response theory analyses, we found that the latent structure of the scale was one-dimensional and very informative for high and very high levels of acceptability of IPVAW. Regarding criterion-related validity, we found that (a) our measure was related to perceived severity of IPVAW and ambivalent sexism, (b) men showed higher levels of acceptability than women, and (c) IPVAW offenders reported higher levels of acceptability than men from the general population. Taken together, our results provide evidence that the A-IPVAW is a reliable and valid instrument to assess acceptability of IPVAW.
测量亲密伴侣暴力侵害妇女行为的可接受性:A-IPVAW量表的编制与验证
亲密伴侣对妇女的暴力行为是一个全球性的重大社会和公共卫生问题。公众对IPVAW的态度决定了此类暴力发生的社会环境,对IPVAW的可接受态度被认为是实际IPVAW面临的风险因素。本研究的目的是开发和验证一种测量IPVAW可接受性的量表(a-IPVAW)。为此,通过社交媒体招募了1800名受访者。第二个样本是50名IPVAW罪犯,用于同时有效性分析。根据交叉验证方法并使用项目反应理论分析,我们发现量表的潜在结构是一维的,并且对于IPVAW的高和非常高的可接受性水平来说信息量很大。关于与标准相关的有效性,我们发现(a)我们的测量与IPVAW和矛盾的性别歧视的严重程度有关,(b)男性表现出比女性更高的可接受程度,(c)IPVAW罪犯报告的可接受水平高于普通人群中的男性。总之,我们的结果提供了证据,证明A-IPVAW是评估IPVAW可接受性的可靠有效工具。
