“…Female nurses were reported to have higher attitude towards identity scores compared to men (Tok and Mayda 2021). Unlike the results of this study, a study in Kosovo found that women approved violence against women more than men (Aliriza et al 2021). In another study, 43% of women stated that they continued their marriages despite experiencing sexual violence (Dikmen et al 2021).…”

“…There was no significant relationship between the age group of the individual with ASUD and the attitude scores regarding violence. In agreement with this result, there are studies that did not detect a difference between age groups and attitudes towards violence against women (Aliriza et al 2021, Polat et al 2021. According to a study among nurses, individuals under the age of 25 had high positive attitudes towards violence against women (Tok and Mayda 2021).…”

The aim of this study was to determine the attitudes of alcohol and substance dependent individuals towards violence against women. This cross-sectional study was completed with n=105 patients who were followed up in the Alcohol and Substance Addiction Treatment and Research Center of a state hospital. In this study, personal information form and ISKEBE attitudes towards violence against women scale were used as data collection tools. Among the patients diagnosed with alcohol-substance use disorder, n=53 (60.9%) were between the ages of 18-34 and n=70 (66.7%) were single. Of the patients, n=36 (52.2%) had been exposed to any type of domestic violence. The attitude scores of patients diagnosed with alcohol-substance use disorder towards violence against women were measured as 99.89 ± 22.1. In the current study, patients diagnosed with alcohol-substance use disorder who were male, lived in rural areas, had poor income status and had low educational level were found to have negatively low attitudes towards violence against women. In conclusion of this study, further studies and practices to determine and improve attitudes towards violence against women in patients diagnosed with alcohol-substance use disorder are recommended.

“…Moreover, other studies have observed an inverse relationship between IPVAW acceptance and age, with this acceptance being greater among younger subjects [ 14 , 31 , 32 ]. These findings have been explained on the basis of three hypotheses: (i) these results are thought to be mediated by educational level and could reflect the educational differences between younger and older individuals, and the lack of experience, knowledge and exposure to the liberalizing influence of late secondary school and university education among younger people [ 4 , 10 ]; (ii) the results could be a reflection of the changes in attitudes, empathy, sensitivity or moral conscience that occur during adolescence and the transition to adulthood [ 4 ]; and (iii) these results may reflect the characteristics of the peer cultures among boys, taking into account that gender segregation and homophobia peak in early adolescence, and this context may be particularly prone to expressing views tolerant of IPVAW [ 4 ].…”

Supportive attitudes towards intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) normalize and promote these aggressive behaviors. As a result, more and more research is proposing the identification, analysis and intervention of these attitudes. However, the vast majority of this research focuses on students. The main objective of this paper is to analyze these supportive attitudes throughout the lifecycle. An opportunity sample of 200 Spanish participants, by age and sex fixed quotas, took part in this study. Attitudes were measured using the Inventory of Distorted Thoughts about Women and Violence, the Inventory of Beliefs about Intimate Partner Violence and the Gender Violence Implicit Association Test, a personalized form of Implicit Association Test (IAT). The results show that explicitly measured supportive attitudes towards intimate partner violence against women differ between age groups, adopting a U-shape distribution: lower acceptance among middle-aged-adults and young-adults and higher acceptance among adolescents and older adults. However, when these attitudes were implicitly measured, the IPVAW rejection increased with age, which is a counter-intuitive result and inconsistent with previous theoretical evidence. In summary, these results support an age effect that differs according to the measure of attitudes used and highlight some difficulties related to based-on-reaction-time measures among older people. This suggests the need for further research on the topic, especially among the older population.

“…One reason violence against women persists is because some people either justify or tolerate it [ 20 ]. A recent study reports that tolerance of violence is likely to be higher among people of low-socio-economic status, less education [ 21 ] and unemployed people [ 22 , 23 ]. Socially, violence may be acceptable for many reasons including social norms [ 24 ], support for patriarchy or male dominance [ 25 ] or controlling behaviors [ 26 , 27 ].…”

This paper uses data from a community cross-sectional survey to examine the factors that are associated with justification of physical violence against women. Results indicate that respondents who were married at the time of the survey were less likely (OR = 0.29; CI = 0.17–0.52) to agree that it is justified for a man to physically assault his partner that their counterparts who were single. The likelihood to justify physical violence was less likely to happen among respondents with primary education (OR = 0.49; CI = 0.39–0.62), secondary education (OR = 0.40; CI = 0.31–0.53) and vocation or tertiary education (OR = 0.28; CI = 0.19–0.41) than among respondents with no education. Protestants were less likely (OR = 0.77; CI = 0.64–0.94) to justify physical violence than the Catholics. Respondents who were not formally employed were more likely (OR = 1.66; CI = 1.32–2.08) to justify physical violence than their counterparts who were in formal employment in the last three months preceding the survey. Respondents who agreed that it is okay for a man to control his partner’s movements (OR = 1.27; CI = 1.04–1.55), it is okay for a man to have sex with his wife anytime (OR = 2.28; CI = 1.87–2.78), alcohol is the main reason for violence against women (OR = 1.67; CI = 1.33–2.10), men need sex more than women (OR = 1.57; CI = 1.23–1.99) and women know where to obtain support in case of violence (OR = 1.42; CI = 1.00–2.02) were more likely to justify physical violence than respondents who disagreed. The likelihood to justify physical violence was less among respondents who agreed that: violence is not the only way to deal with disagreements (OR = 0.54; CI = 0.33–0.86), it is possible for men to stop violence (OR = 0.62; CI = 0.47–0.82) and it is acceptable for a woman to ask her partner to use a condom (OR = 0.61; CI = 0.51–0.73) than their counterparts who disagreed. There is need to increase investment in social norms change programmes in order to strengthen contestation of tolerance of physical violence among men and women in Uganda.
