“…Sexist attitudes are a risk factor and legitimize female violence in romantic relationships (Juarros-Basterretxea et al, 2019). Based on evidence demonstrating the predictive role of sexism and its different sexual violence (Durán & Rodríguez-Domínguez, 2019;Rollero & Tartaglia, 2018) and sexual health (Ford et al, 2017) forms, we propose conducting more future research to identify the possible predictor role about sexual health and sexual violence of SDS adherence types in sexual freedom and sexual shyness areas.…”

Sexual double standard (SDS) involves evaluating the same sexual behaviors in men and women using different criteria. The support for man-favorable SDS is related to sexual aggression and sexual victimization. Yet to date, studies have not examined the prevalence of SDS adherence. This study aims to identify the prevalence per gender and age of the Spanish population who adheres to the SDS typologies (man-favorable, woman-favorable, egalitarian, ambivalent) by considering sexual freedom and sexual shyness areas. A sample of 2,002 Spanish heterosexual adults (50% men, 50% women), distributed into four age groups (18-25, 26-35, 36-55 and over 55 years old), answered the Sexual Double Standard Scale. The results showed differences in the prevalence of SDS typologies by gender and age. By gender, a higher prevalence of the man-favorable typology was observed in men and a higher prevalence of the egalitarian typology and the woman-favorable typology was observed in women. By age groups, significant differences in man-favorable and womanfavorable typologies were found in both men and women. Based on the evidence of four adherence to SDS typologies, it is recommended studying the relation of these typologies with sexual aggression/victimization to design more efficient programs for prevention and intervention of sexual violence.

“…The central role of relationship‐related insecurities also illuminates when and why men's hostile sexism reliably predicts greater psychological and physical aggression toward intimate partners (e.g., Forbes, Adams‐Curtis, & White, ; Juarros‐Basterretxea, Overall, Herrero, & Rodríguez‐Díaz, ; Martinez‐Pecino & Durán, ). The dominance‐based perspective described at the beginning of this section would suggest that men who endorse hostile sexism aggress to maintain power in their relationship.…”

Relationship (in)security is central to the sources and outcomes of sexist attitudes

Ambivalent sexism theory recognizes that sexist attitudes maintain gender inequalities via sociocultural and close relationship processes. This review advances established work on sociocultural processes by showing how people's need for relationship security is also central to the sources and functions of sexism. Men's hostile sexism—overtly derogatory attitudes toward women—involves insecurities about women exploiting men's relational dependence. Accordingly, men's hostile sexism predicts relational aggression when their dependence on partners is risky. Men's benevolent sexism—patronizing and protective attitudes toward women—offers men relationship security by idealizing traditional gender roles in romantic relationships. Benevolent sexism also appeals to women who seek the security of a devoted partner, but requires women to invest in their relationship at the expense of their independence. Our relationship science perspective reveals that romantic (in)security is critical to why people adopt sexist attitudes and why sexist attitudes create differential costs and benefits for women and men.

“…Una de las teorías más influyentes sobre las actitudes sexistas hacia la mujer ha sido la Teoría del Sexismo Ambivalente de Glick y Fiske (1996) al contemplar, además de los característicos prejuicios hostiles hacia la mujer (sexismo hostil), aspectos subjetivamente positivos hacia ellas, pero que siguen siendo estereotípicos (sexismo benevolente). Esta teoría supone un gran avance en el concepto de sexismo hacia la mujer al abarcar tanto el rechazo que el sexismo tradicional implicaba como la tendencia por parte de los hombres a mantener relaciones estables e íntimas con ellas (Juarros-Basterretxea, Overall, Herrero, y Rodríguez-Díaz, 2019). Como se ha indicado anteriormente, las actitudes sexistas hacia la mujer en profesionales de la salud han sido escasamente estudiadas (véase McDonald, Terry, y Tehranifar, 2014; Richamn, Pascoe, y Lattaner, 2017, para una revisión), pero del mismo modo que otras formas de discriminación (p. e. racismo) se han relacionado con más problemas de salud en los pacientes, cabe pensar que actitudes sexistas hacia la mujer puedan estar relacionadas con deficiencias en la atención (menor nivel de implicación) de las pacientes víctimas IPV y la formación al respecto por parte de estos profesionales.…”

RESUMEN: Los profesionales sanitarios encuentran serias dificultades para identificar los casos de violencia en la pareja (IPV) contra la mujer. Las actitudes sexistas hacia la mujer y bajo nivel formativo en materia de IPV, pueden obstaculizan el abordaje de los casos de maltrato en los Servicios de Salud. Nuestro objetivo es analizar la relación entre actitudes sexistas y la implicación de los profesionales de la salud en los casos de IPV, así como el potencial efecto mediador de las horas de formación. Participaron 590 profesionales del Servicio de Salud del Principado de Asturias (España). Los resultados mostraron que ambos tipos de sexismo,-hostil y benevolente-, ejercen su influencia en la implicación en los casos de IPV. El sexismo hostil se relaciona con menores tasas de implicación, sin que las horas de formación medien esta relación. También mayores niveles de sexismo benevolente se relacionan con menores tasas de implicación, pero sólo mediado a través de las horas de formación. PALABRAS CAVE: Sexismo hostil, Sexismo benevolente, Violencia en la pareja, Profesionales sanitarios, Implicación Health professionals´ involvement in cases of partner violence against women: The influence of sexist attitudes toward women ABSTRACT: Health professionals find it difficult to identify cases of partner violence (IPV) against women. Sexist attitudes toward women and low formation level on IPV can hinder the intervention on cases of IPV in Health Services. Our objective is to analyze the relationship between sexist attitudes and the implication of health professionals on IPV cases, as well as the potential mediating effect of training hours. 590 professionals from the Health Service of the Principality of Asturias (Spain) participated. The results showed that both types of sexism, hostile and benevolent, exert their influence on the involvement in cases of IPV. Hostile sexism is related to lower rates of involvement, without mediational effect of the hours of training. Higher levels of benevolent sexism are also related to lower rates of involvement, but only mediated by the hours of training.
