“…Female participants were more aware of IPVAW issue, expressed more understanding to the situations of victims, held more proactive attitudes toward IP-VAW, presented less tolerance for violence, and defined more behaviors as serious violence. The encountered gender influence of attitude toward IPVAW was consistent with previous findings that women presented positive attitudes toward IPVAW, showed more knowledge about IPVAW, and rated IPVAW more serious than men (Alazmi et al, 2011;Locke & Richman, 1999;Sorenson & Thomas, 2009). Such gender difference of attitudes toward IPVAW may be explained by difference severity of impact on men and women.…”

According to United Nations (2012), between 15% and 76% women have been targeted for physical and/or sexual violence in their lifetime worldwide, which makes violence against women become a serious social problem. The most common type of violence against women is violence perpetrated by a current or former intimate partner, including physical, verbal, economic, or sexual violence, which 30% of women have experienced when being in a relationship (World Health Organization, 2013). For the purpose of this article, intimate partner violence is used to define any form of physical, verbal, economic, or sexual violence perpetrated by a current or former intimate partner, a term used interchangeably in the literature with partner violence, family violence, domestic violence etc. Despite cultural, social, and economic differences, intimate partner violence against women (IP-VAW) is an evident health and human rights issue across the world, which can lead to negative impact on victims' wellbeing, such as poor sexual health, increased pain, and pharmaceutical prescription use (e.g., Cerulli et al., 2012; García-Moreno et al., 2006; Humphreys & Joseph, 2004; Moe & Bell, 2004). Besides, victims will also suffer from mental health burden, including, but not limited to, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (e.g., Lutwak, 2018).

“…Findings from multiple regressions suggest that lower age, being male, being Black/non-Caucasian, being from Nigeria, and attitudes toward partner violence were related to attribution of blame to the female victim. Although the socio-cultural mechanisms instrumental to these findings may be different across societies as previously discussed, being male and being Black have been found to be related to victim blaming (Ewoldt et al, 2000;Funk et al, 2003;Gamache, 2006;Locke & Richman, 1999). The effects of age on blame for domestic violence have also been found, such that more Baby Boomers (67.3 percent) attributed blame for domestic violence to their partners more so than did Millennials (57.8 percent) (Wilke &Vinton, 2005).…”

“…Specifically, Chinese and United States female respondents were more likely than their male respondents or all Japanese respondents to endorse egalitarian attitudes toward women and less likely to attribute blame to female victims of violence (Nguyen et al, 2013). Similar to gender, race (particularly being Black/non-Caucasian) has been associated with perception, perpetration, victimization, and attribution of blame for partner violence (Barrick, Krebs, & Lindquist, 2013;Davis, 2013;Funk et al, 2003;Langhinrichsen-Rohling, Selwyn, & Rohling, 2012;Locke & Richman, 1999;Tjaden & Thoennes, 2000). Age has equally been associated with blame attribution (Wilke &Vinton, 2005), such that those who are older attributed blame to victims than those who are younger (Adams-Price, Dalton III, & Sumrall, 2004).…”

Although knowledge about attribution of blame and partner violence has increased over the past decades, comparative knowledge across countries is sparse. This cross-sectional survey examined cross-national differences in attribution of blame and attitudes toward partner violence among 363 respondents in the United States, South Africa, and Nigeria. Results suggest that female respondents were less likely than male respondents to attribute blame to the female victim or endorse partner violence. Respondents in Nigeria were more likely than respondents in the other countries to attribute blame to the female victim. Similarly, respondents in the United States or South Africa were less likely than respondents in Nigeria to endorse partner violence. Age, gender, race, and attitudes toward partner violence were associated with attribution of blame. Country moderated the relation between attitudes toward partner violence and attribution of blame. For respondents in South Africa, high attitudes toward partner violence were related to greater attribution of blame; however, for respondents in the United States there was a much smaller difference in blame attribution between low and high attitudes toward partner violence. In general, findings suggest that differences in gender and country are relevant to understanding blame attribution to female victim and attitudes toward partner violence.

“…For example, Deal and Stevenson (1998) found that male and female college students in the United States perceived prototypical managers and male managers similarly, whereas male students ascribed female managers with more negative attributes such as being easily influenced and uncertain and with less positive attributes such as being ambitious and competent than female students. In addition, women have less traditional and more egalitarian gender-role beliefs than men (e.g., Larsen and Long 1988;Locke and Richman 1999) and these beliefs might manifest themselves in evaluations of male and female applicants in the selection process. Overall, these findings suggest that the preference of hiring men over women in the absence of counter-stereotypical leadership information might be more pronounced among men than women.…”

The present research investigated factors that might affect gender discrimination in a hiring simulation context from the perspectives of social role theory and the shifting standards model. Specifically, the experimental study investigated whether gender biases are evident in the screening and hiring stage of the personnel selection process depending on the applicants' social role and evaluators' gender. A sample of German undergraduate business students (54 women, 53 men) was asked to make a personnel selection decision (short-listing or hiring) about a fictitious applicant (man or woman) in a specific role (leader or non-leader) for a managerial position. Consistent with social role theory's assumption that social role information is more influential than gender information, participants selected applicants described as leaders over applicants described as non-leaders, regardless of applicant gender. In addition, in the presence of role information, female applicants portrayed as leaders were similarly shortlisted and hired as male applicants with the same credentials. In the absence of role information, female applicants were similarly short-listed as male applicants; however, male applicants were hired over female applicants, albeit by male participants only. This is consistent with the shifting standards model's assumption that group members are held to a higher standard to confirm traits on which they are perceived to be deficient: Male participants hired female applicants portrayed as non-leaders with less certainty than their male counterparts possibly due to higher confirmatory standards for leadership ability in women than men. The research and practice implications of these results are discussed.
