标题:Ambivalent sexism, gender and attitudes towards violence against women in marriage Çelişik duygulu cinsiyetçilik, toplumsal cinsiyet ve evlilikte kadına yönelik şiddete ilişkin tutumlar
摘要:The purpose of this study is to examine the relationships between ambivalent sexism, gender roles, attitudes of the students towards violence against women in marriage and gender among undergraduate students studying at psychological counseling and guidance department. The study group was 420 undergraduate students studying at Psychological Counseling and Guidance departments at Erciyes University, Sakarya University and Karadeniz Technical University. Socialization of Gender Norms Scale (Epstein, 2008), Ambivalent Sexism Inventory (Glick and Fiske, 1996) and Attitudes toward Physical Wife Abuse Scale (Sakallı-Uğurlu and Ulu, 2003) were used as the data collection instruments. Hierarchical regression analysis was used in analyzing the collected data and the partial impact size was examined. The results of the analyses indicated that gender, egalitarian gender roles and hostile sexism were variables predicting tolerance of verbal violence and attitudes towards divorce after physical violence; whilst gender and egalitarian gender roles were predictors of attitudes towards physical violence. Hostile sexism, on the other hand, was found to be predictor of only attitude towards verbal violence and attitude towards divorce after physical violence. The findings of this study indicate that although students adopt more egalitarian attitudes as the level of education increases, they are under the impact of gender roles and ambivalent sexism. Therefore, in order to prevent violence against women in marriage it is important to improve egalitarian gender attitudes both towards men and women and to prevent hostile sexism.
