Attitudes towards intimate partner violence against women

 

In VIO-STRATEGY, attitudes towards intimate partner violence against women are analyzed through new research approaches, including the development of new assesment instruments (e.g., acceptability of this type of violence, perceived severity, victim-blaming, willigness to intervene), the analysis of their correlates, and comparative and cross-cultural analysis.
