“…Los mitos sobre IPVAW también podrían influir en la valoración social de las respuestas que las víctimas emiten. Las mujeres víctimas de IPVAW raramente se mantienen pasivas ante este tipo de violencia, realizando múltiples conductas de afrontamiento como, por ejemplo, resistencia física y/o cognitiva o la búsqueda de ayuda familiar o profesional (Melendez-Rhodes & Košutić, 2021). No obstante, existe la creencia social ampliamente compartida de que la mujer muestra un comportamiento pasivo ante la IPVAW (Monterrosa, 2021), connotación que se corresponde con el uso del propio término 'víctima' a diferencia del alternativo 'superviviente' (Romero-Sánchez et al, 2020).…”

“…Myths about IPVAW may also influence the social assessment of the victims’ responses. Women who are the victims of IPVAW are seldom passive in the face of this type of violence and often engage in multiple confrontational behaviours, such as physical and/or cognitive resistance or seeking help from their families or a professional (Melendez-Rhodes & Košutić, 2021). However, there is a widely shared social belief that women show a passive attitude towards IPVAW (Monterrosa, 2021), a connotation which matches the use of the term ‘victim’ instead of the alternative ‘survivor’ (Romero-Sánchez et al, 2020).…”

This study analyses the cognitive function of myths about partner violence against women in the social perception of a case that caused a media frenzy in Spain: the documentary story ‘Rocío Carrasco. Contar la verdad para seguir viva’ (‘Rocío Carrasco: Telling the Truth to Stay Alive’). We studied the relationship between these myths and the credibility and blame attributed to Rocío Carrasco. We also tested different explanatory mechanisms of these associations: the warmth/competence qualities of the victim and the different motivations attributed to her in the documentary (monetary, the quest for justice, revenge and emotional recovery). The results showed that the participants ( N = 295) who adhered more to the myths attributed less credibility and more blame to Rocío Carrasco. Moreover, we found that her perceived warmth (but not her competence) and the attribution of different motivations mediated these relationships. Using a current media case, these findings enable us to learn more about both the cognitive function of myths about the perception of gender violence and possible explanatory mechanisms.

An Evaluation of University Students’ Perceptions of Gender Violence—A Study of Its Prevalence in Southern Spain

2023

Discovering students’ beliefs and values as regards gender violence is a fundamental factor when attempting to tackle this problem in the sphere of universities. This study presents the validation of a scale for university students’ perceptions of gender-based violence, denominated as the Gender Violence Perception Scale (GVP-S). This scale measures the degree to which the aforementioned perceptions are influenced by gender, the university degree in which participants are enrolled, the type of school to which (i.e., private or state) they attended, and the level of education reached by their parents. The study was carried out with a sample of 1870 students at the University of Cordoba (Spain), and its results revealed that: (1) the GVP-S is well adjusted to and has the optimum psychometric properties for the sample studied, and (2) there are significant differences according to gender, the university degree being studied and the students’ parents’ education, but not the type of secondary education establishment attended. The conclusion that was reached was that it is necessary to carry out more research in this area, to provide preventative measures and training programs regarding gender violence to university students.
