“…Multiple comparisons between groups yielded two homogeneous sets for all dimensions: lower acceptance [Set 1] and higher acceptance [Set 2]. Adolescents (<18) and older adults (≥60) performed in higher acceptance, whereas middle-aged adults and young adults (18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29) performed in lower acceptance, except in F3-VP, where young adults performed in the higher acceptance set with adolescents and older adults. 1 Set 1 = lower acceptance of IPVAW; Set 2 = higher acceptance of IPVAW.…”

Supportive attitudes towards intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) normalize and promote these aggressive behaviors. As a result, more and more research is proposing the identification, analysis and intervention of these attitudes. However, the vast majority of this research focuses on students. The main objective of this paper is to analyze these supportive attitudes throughout the lifecycle. An opportunity sample of 200 Spanish participants, by age and sex fixed quotas, took part in this study. Attitudes were measured using the Inventory of Distorted Thoughts about Women and Violence, the Inventory of Beliefs about Intimate Partner Violence and the Gender Violence Implicit Association Test, a personalized form of Implicit Association Test (IAT). The results show that explicitly measured supportive attitudes towards intimate partner violence against women differ between age groups, adopting a U-shape distribution: lower acceptance among middle-aged-adults and young-adults and higher acceptance among adolescents and older adults. However, when these attitudes were implicitly measured, the IPVAW rejection increased with age, which is a counter-intuitive result and inconsistent with previous theoretical evidence. In summary, these results support an age effect that differs according to the measure of attitudes used and highlight some difficulties related to based-on-reaction-time measures among older people. This suggests the need for further research on the topic, especially among the older population.

“…These are early relationships, and it would be logical to assume that the education of the persons involved is less patriarchal and more based on respect and equality. This social influence on the attitudes of gender violence has been explored by a number of studies (25), previous authors observed violence and lack of equality in the secondary school setting (26) and the university (27), making these populations at a risk to be addressed by preventive studies.…”

La estabilidad emocional y su relación con el daño psíquico en mujeres españolas víctimas de violencia de género ResumenIntroducción: La violencia contra la mujer constituye un problema de salud pública y se ha convertido en una de las principales causas de problemas de salud en las víctimas que la sufren. Se conoce poco sobre los factores de vulnerabilidad ante estas experiencias. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar la estabilidad/inestabilidad emocional como factor clave en la capacidad de afrontar una situación de violencia de género y sus consecuencias sobre la salud física y psíquica de las víctimas. Métodos: Se trata de un estudio trasversal realizado sobre una muestra de 151 mujeres españolas. Las mujeres fueron evaluadas mediante el Cuestionario de Salud General de Goldberg y el Inventario de Personalidad 16PF de Cattell. Resultados: Encontramos una relación significativa entre la estabilidad emocional y la puntuación total del Goldberg y sus cuatro subescalas de síntomas somáticos, ansiedad, adaptación socio-laboral y depresión (p<0.001). Conclusión: Niveles altos de estabilidad emocional podrían indicar fortaleza psicológica y menor vulnerabilidad, pudiendo favorecer que el daño psicológico en la mujer víctima sea menor. AbstractIntroduction: Violence against women is a public health problem and has become one of the main causes of health problems in the victims who suffer. Little is known about the factors of vulnerability to these experiences. Objective: The aim of this study is to analyze the emotional stability/instability as the key factor for coping with a gender violence situation and its effects on the physical and psychic health of the victims. Methods: It´s a cross-sectional study conducted on a sample of 151 spanish women. The women were evaluated using the Goldberg General Health Questionnaire and Cattells 16PF Inventory. Results: Emotional stability was found to have a significant correlation with the Total Goldberg score and with its four subscales of symptoms, anxiety, withdrawal and depression (p<.001). Conclusion: A high emotional stability can be seen as an indicator of psychological strength and less vulnerability, hence less psychological damage of the victim.

“…Besides, there are experimental studies investigating the effect of various variables on sensitiveness to social problems, strategy and scale development studies related to the teaching of social problems, and documentary analysis studies on the concepts that are regarded as social problems [1,3,12,21,24,32,43,46]. There are also studies on social problems carried out in the fields of medicine [16,17,49], sociology [7,8,13,14,18,25,29,31,34,35,38,45,48] and psychology [11]. On the other hand, social studies teachers conduct their lessons in accordance with the outcomes stated in the social studies curricula prepared by the Ministry.…”

In Turkey, the social studies course, which is taught in elementary 5 th to 7 th grades, prepares students to solve problems they may encounter in their future life. Therefore, the teaching of social problems to help students get to know them is one of the most important issues for the social studies course. The primary aim of this study is to examine how social problems are included in the social studies coursebooks and workbooks. 5 th , 6 th and 7 th grade social studies coursebooks and workbooks were analysed in the study. Document analysis method, which is one of the qualitative research methods, was used in data analysis. The findings of the study showed that the coursebooks and workbooks of the Ministry of National Education included and emphasized more social problems than those of the private publishing companies. Based on the findings, it is suggested that social studies coursebooks and workbooks published by private publishing companies should be modified in such a way that they include and emphasize more social problems.
