“…Specifically, African American and Asian American participants reported lower levels of actual knowledge and awareness of IPV and more negative attitudes towards those experiencing IPV. These findings are supported in some studies suggesting greater acceptance of IPV that may potentially be justified by more traditional gender or patriarchal cultural norms (Crittenden et al, 2017;Hayes & Boyd, 2017;Joshi & Childress, 2017;Love & Richards, 2013). Additional factors need further exploration as minority status is also often associated with economic factors (e.g., education, income, employment status) as well as cultural differences and gender role inequalities, which may lead to increased IPVexposure and risk (Capaldi et al, 2012;Njie-Carr, 2014).…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant public health concern; however, limited studies have explored perceptions and experiences towards IPV among students, staff, administrators, and faculty across diverse disciplines at institutions of higher education. The purposes of this study were to (1) assess experiences of IPV among a sample of students, staff/administrators, and faculty and (2) examine the relationship among attitudes, actual and perceived knowledge, awareness, training, readiness, and personal experiences with IPV in this sample. Participants were recruited from an urban university and two university-affiliated medical institutions to participate in an online survey. Bivariate and multivariate associations were assessed. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to examine direct and indirect effects of perceived and actual knowledge and personal experiences with IPV. Of the 216 respondents, 42.6% reported personally experiencing IPV and 34.3% reported having witnessed IPV. Over 34% of participants never received training on IPV. The sub-sample with training received between one and more than 15 hours of training. Standardized total effect of training on attitudes and awareness was β = 0.42 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.30–0.51), the combined indirect effects was β = 0.18 (95% CI = 0.10–0.27) and the direct effects of β=0.23 (95% CI = 0.12–0.34), indicating that hours of training was highly associated with the participants’ perceived knowledge and actual knowledge, which improved their attitudes and awareness towards IPV survivors. Our findings suggest the need for campus-wide formal training on IPV to better prepare members in higher education to accurately identify, assess, and intervene to protect victims of abuse. Interprofessional approaches are needed that focus on the multiple and intersecting needs of victims of violence and should also enhance professional self-efficacy and increase readiness to respond to IPV survivors.

“…In congruence with this result, other researchers have discovered that the police are less likely to arrest a violent perpetrator in a case that does not involve male-against-female violence (Connolly et al, 2000), and that a female victim is considered to need more help and support than a male victim, regardless of whether the person is engaged in a same-sex or opposite-sex relationship (Poorman et al, 2003;. Some differences may be observed in instances of IPV involving samesex couples in comparison to male-against-female IPV cases; for example, the reporting rates differ because of the ways in which gay men and lesbian women define violence and are willing to report it (Crittenden et al, 2017). However, the few studies that have examined whether and how attitudes vary in judgments regarding same and opposite-sex cases of violence suggest only some differences in attitudes toward violence in these different relations (Sorenson & Thomas, 2009).…”

“…However, S. M. Seelau and Seelau's (2005; see also E. P. Seelau et al, 2003) review of relevant literature has evidenced that the pattern of prevalence, recurrence, and escalation of violence in same-sex relationships mirrors maleagainst-female IPV cases (Brand & Kidd, 1986;Renzetti, 1992;Turell, 2000). Yet, with the exception of some relevant investigations (inter alia, Crittenden et al, 2017;Jacobson et al, 2015;Lockhart et al, 1994;Poorman et al, 2003;Rollè et al, 2018;; S. M. Seelau & Seelau, 2005;Sloan & Edmond, 1996;Wise & Bowman, 1997), researchers have paid scant attention to this aspect of the phenomenon of IPV.…”

Researchers interested in intimate partner violence (IPV) have focused primarily on male-against-female cases. We conducted two experimental investigations to examine the influence of moral evaluation, attribution of responsibility, and right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) on the willingness of bystanders to provide help to the victim in an IPV case involving a same-sex couple. Study 1 ( N = 195) surveyed a heterosexual participant sample, and Study 2 ( N = 120) surveyed a sample of gay and lesbian participants. In both studies, participants read a fictitious article describing an alleged IPV episode that occurred either in a male–male or a female–female couple. Each participant read an article describing one of two versions of a case of IPV: In one account, the victim admitted to infidelity and in the other, the victim did not confess to infidelity. The participants subsequently evaluated the victim and expressed their willingness (or lack thereof) to support and provide help to the injured party. In both studies, participants in the condition that included the admission of infidelity assessed the victim to be less moral and more responsible for the violent episode. Consequently, participants of both studies expressed lesser willingness to provide help to the victim. Moreover, in Study 1, the relationship between the admission of infidelity and the respondents’ willingness to support the victim was moderated by RWA. Particularly, the admission of infidelity by the victim reduced the respondents’ willingness to extend support only when they reported a medium to a high level of RWA ideology. By focusing specifically on same-sex IPV cases, this study contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the reactions of witnesses with regard to IPV. Furthermore, it provides evidence about the underlying mechanisms mitigating the intervention of bystanders in such cases and identifies boundary conditions that exacerbate their (un)willingness to intervene.

“…It is also important to mention, especially for the research topic analyzed here, the research carried out by Kalof [21] in which it is suggested that many victims of gender-based violence in the academic environment do not perceive GBV as such, in addition to the existing relationship among the structures that reinforce a model of masculinity in which some men may have assumed. Several current studies in this field have made it possible to examine in greater depth the university as a social space that also has to deal with gender-based violence and that has special characteristics that need to be analyzed to understand the complexity of this social problem [22][23][24][25][26][27].…”

(1) Background: Gender-based violence has no geographical, personal, or social boundaries. It constitutes a serious public health problem that affects the entire society. This research aims to identify and compare the level of ambivalent sexism in Spanish and Colombian university students and its relationship with sociodemographic factors. Ambivalent sexism, developed by Glick and Fiske (1996), is considered a new type of sexism since, for the first time, it combines negative and positive feelings that give rise to hostile and benevolent sexism, maintaining the subordination of women through punishment and rewards. (2) Methods: The methodology consisted of the application of the validated Spanish version of the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory (ASI) to a sample of 374 students in their final academic year of the Law program, of which 21.7% were students at the University of Santander (Bucaramanga, Colombia), 45.5% at the University Rey Juan Carlos (Madrid, Spain), and the remaining 32.9% at the University of Seville (Seville, Spain). (3) Results: A high level of ambivalent sexism is reported in Colombian students nowadays. In the two countries. there are similarities (e.g., the great weight of religion and the variation in attitudes towards sexism in people who identify themselves as women, compared to male or students consulted that prefer not to answer) and differences (e.g., absence in Colombia of gender-specific legislation, low number of students who have received gender education in Spain). (4) Conclusions: These findings may contribute to the construction of laws that take into account the particular problems of women and the development of educational programs on gender that are offered in a transversal and permanent way and that take into account cultural factors and equity between men and women as an essential element in the training of future judges who have the legal responsibility to protect those who report gender violence.
