Domestic violence perception and gender stereotypes
基于对4500多名意大利女性的调查，研究性别刻板印象如何影响对家庭暴力的认知，发现刻板印象强的女性更不认为暴力普遍，且更倾向于将身体暴力视为不如隐私侵犯严重，并更可能责备受害者。
Abstract Using a survey of more than 4500 Italian women, we address the link between gender stereotypes and perceptions of domestic violence. We define a new measure of stereotypes at the individual level and show that women with stronger stereotypes are less likely to state that violence is common in their area of residence and are more likely to classify physical violence as less severe than privacy breaches. This ranking is associated with a victim-blaming mindset among respondents with stronger stereotypes, who are also more likely to attribute violent behaviors to event-specific circumstances (e.g., economic distress) than to personal characteristics of abusers (e.g., psychological issues) and to advise a hypothetical victim not to react to violence.
