“…There is extensive evidence that women who are dehumanized face heightened risks of experiencing gender-based violence (Bevens & Loughnan, 2019; Rudman & Mescher, 2012) and being treated unfavorably after they are assaulted (Pacilli et al, 2017; Pagliaro et al, 2022). However, for the present study, we considered the consequences of a gender-based violence victim being humanized (i.e., attribution of human qualities).…”

Objective: Some scholars suggest that right-leaning Europeans utilize sympathetic reactions toward women gender-based violence victims to justify discrimination against Black men. Thus, in the context of an alleged sexual assault at a university, we examined whether the relationship between White Europeans' support for punishing an accused Black man would be moderated by their racial identity and the extent that they humanized the woman complainant. We further examined the role of pejorative beliefs about the man. Method: White Europeans (n = 302) recruited through Prolific completed a racial identity measure and read about an alleged male-to-female sexual assault by a Black or White male university student and reported the extent they humanized the woman complainant. They then completed measures assessing their perpetratordirected sexualized threat attributions (i.e., he was hypersexual, threatening) and endorsement of: (a) university (i.e., suspension) and (b) criminal (i.e., incarceration) punitive sanctions. Results: In the Black male target condition, among those who reported strong (but not weak) racial identification, stronger complainant humanization predicted greater endorsement for both forms of punitive reactions. The humanization-punitive reactions association was mediated by greater sexualized threat attributions. In the White male target condition, the interaction between racial identity and complainant humanization was not significant. Conclusions: Among strongly identified White Europeans, elevated humanization of a sexual assault complainant predicted greater punitive reactions toward an accused university Black man. However, this positive humanization-punitive responding relationship was not based on stable moral standards as it did not occur for a similarly accused university White man.

“…Leon et al (2022) examined the willingness of other individuals to report IPV through vignettes in Spain and found that only 28% of respondents would report an episode of violence to the police. In addition, a victim of IPV is perceived as less moral and more responsible for what happened than a victim of generic violence, making them vulnerable to ostracism and reputational threats (Pagliaro et al, 2022). Moreover, recent events such as the pandemic-induced lockdowns have exacerbated the issue.…”

Domestic violence, especially intimate partner violence (IPV), is an important issue worldwide, especially in India. Those that experience it may not always be able to come forward or have access to the required social support to act against it. We use National Family Health Survey data ( n = 66,013 women) to create machine learning models which can predict IPV instances with a recall of 78%. We use the top 15 best predicting questions that avoid sensitive issues to create a field tool that frontline health workers can use to identify women with a high risk of IPV and provide the support they need.

“…Intimate partner violence (IPV) has been defined as a type of violence that includes “behaviour by an intimate partner or ex-partner that causes physical, sexual or psychological harm, including physical aggression, sexual coercion, psychological abuse and controlling behaviours” (World Health Organization [WHO], 2013). It is a worldwide phenomenon, with high social, economic, and human costs (Pagliaro et al, 2022; Vilariňo & Arce, 2018).…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) encompasses physical, sexual, or psychological abuse. Recent evidence suggests that victims and perpetrators might share some common psychological characteristics. Particularly, high levels of alexithymia, a difficulty in identifying and expressing emotions, and an externally oriented thinking style were found in both victims and perpetrators when compared to the general population. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to quantify the levels of alexithymia in victims and perpetrators of IPV and compare these levels to controls. We systematically searched PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and Scopus databases, using the following strings: (“intimate partner violence” OR “IPV” OR “partner abuse”) AND (“alexithymia” OR “alexithymic”). The inclusion criteria were: adult perpetrators or victims of IPV; with or without a rehabilitation program; having or not a comparison group from the general population; alexithymia as outcome; all types of study design. Seventeen studies met the inclusion criteria. Data were meta-analyzed with random-effects models. Results showed comparable levels of alexithymia in victims and perpetrators of IPV (mean = 55.92 vs. 55.15, respectively). Furthermore, we found increased alexithymia in victims (Hedges’ g, 0.87 [95% CI 0.43, 1.31]) and perpetrators (Hedges’ g, 0.94 [95% CI 0.77, 1.12]) compared to controls. These results highlight that both perpetrators and victims exhibited high levels of alexithymia. A deeper understanding of this psychological dimension can help professionals to plan better-tailored interventions, in which all relevant factors associated with IPV are considered.
