This study explored the relationship between sexual double standard and rape supportive attitudes in regard to an individual's likelihood to perpetrate sexual aggression. We examined an adolescent sample of 448 boys from Peru, of whom 148 (33.3%) reported to have committed sexual aggression. Sexual contact with an unwilling partner was perpetrated by 24.8% of the total sample, sexual coercion by 14.3%, attempted rape by 12.5%, and finally, rape was perpetrated by 10.3%. In all these types of aggression, the most frequent victim was a dating partner. Compared to non-aggressors, male aggressors reported more sexual double standard and supportive attitudes towards rape. Logistic regression analyses revealed that the most relevant variable in the prediction of sexual aggression was the subject having been a victim of sexual abuse during adolescence and having rape supportive attitudes. Our findings suggest that violent attitudes are more important than the endorsement of non-egalitarian beliefs (sexual double standard) in the perpetration of sexual violence. These findings provide data from Peru, which contribute to the worldwide data on risk factors for sexual aggression in adolescent males.

Psychopathological symptoms, sexist attitudes and some sociodemographic variables were assessed in a sample of 900 women (300 women who reported partner abuse, 300 women who never reported partner abuse and 300 women in the general population). The age range was from 18 to 72 years old. The abuse suffered by women within marriage is associated with psychopatological symptoms and sexist attitudes. The women´s decision to report partner abuse depends on both the intensity of the abuse and women´s values as more liberal and less conformed by traditional gender standards.
Se investigó la identidad ambiental, actitud y comportamiento de conservación de agua en habitantes de una comunidad altoandina de Perú (N=211) con el objetivo de determinar las relaciones entre ellas. se aplicó la escala de identidad ambiental y el cuestionario de actitudes y comportamientos de conservación de agua y se procedió a medir sus correlaciones. Se encontró una relación directa entre identidad ambiental, actitud y comportamiento de conservación de agua. La correlación más significativa se da entre identidad y comportamiento, en tanto las correlaciones entre identidad y actitud, actitud y comportamiento, son moderadas. Por otro lado, las dimensiones de la identidad ambiental muestran correlaciones significativas positivas, con la actitud, en tanto el comportamiento presenta correlaciones significativas con la autoidentificación, las emociones positivas y la relevancia de la identidad y la ideología. Nuestros hallazgos, indican que la identidad ambiental mantiene una relación sobre la actitud de conservación del agua. Se observó que, la identidad y/o conexión con la naturaleza motiva a proteger y actuar en favor de ella. Finalmente se discuten las implicancias del comportamiento proambiental sobre la identidad ambiental y la actitud para la conservación del agua.
