Abstract:

 


This study aims to
explore the effect of masculinity ideology (MI) and the threat to manhood (TM) on violence against women (VAW) in Turkey by
testing two mediational models. The data is collected from a community sample
via by using quantitative research methods. The first model tests the effect of
MI on attitudes towards VAW through TM. A second one, employing a group of
non-single men, tests the effect of MI on the frequency of actual perpetration of
violence through TM and attitudes towards VAW. Endorsement of MI predicts tolerant
attitudes towards VAW through perceived TM. These tolerant attitudes towards
VAW, in turn, predict its actual perpetration. We discuss the implications of
these results from a social psychological
perspective regarding how the broader ideologies of patriarchy and masculinity
trickle down to individual level violence towards one’s partner.
