“…El mito que plantea que la violación no ocurrió y que es una exageración de la víctima se asocia al comportamiento impulsivo y antisocial, lo que posiblemente sugiere que este mito está relacionado con una mayor tendencia a excusar el comportamiento agresivo (Willis et al, 2017;Mouilso & Calhoun, 2013). Además, los mitos de violación y las cogniciones de una sexualidad agresiva revelan asociaciones con rasgos como el antagonismo, la desinhibición y la afectividad negativa, en su polaridad patológica (Kasowski & Anderson, 2019).…”

En investigación social existe una importante línea de estudios que intentan comprender el fenómeno de la violencia sexual. Un constructo que ha centrado el interés de no pocos investigadores corresponde al de “mitos de violación”. Este concepto agrupa creencias erróneas respecto a la atribución de culpabilidad del agresor y la responsabilidad de la víctima en caso de violación sexual. El objetivo del presente artículo fue realizar una revisión sistemática de los estudios empíricos que reportan evidencia acerca de la relación entre la aceptación de mitos de violación y variables psicosociales. Las bases de datos consultadas fueron, ProQuest, Web of Science, Scopus, PsycINFO, EBSCOhost y JSTOR. Se seleccionaron estudios empíricos en español e inglés publicados entre los años 2009 y 2019. Se encontraron 96 artículos que cumplían con los criterios de selección. Dentro de los resultados el 63,4 % de las investigaciones se desarrollaron en Estados Unidos, 24,7 % en países de Europa y solo 1 % en América Latina. Los hallazgos muestran que los hombres son los que mantienen mayores niveles de aceptación de los mitos de violación en la mayoría de los estudios. Además, se encontraron relaciones con variables como violencia interpersonal y violencia sexual, rasgos de personalidad, variables ideológicas, psicosociales, sexuales y de género. Finalmente se discute sus implicancias y limitaciones.

“…From a clinical perspective, some results could provide useful indications for therapeutic practice and prevention programmes. The recognition of dysfunctional traits in potential abusers may help to reduce the likelihood of violent behaviours within intimate relationships (Kasowski & Anderson, 2019). An approach focused on protective and risk factors could help prevent violent relationships: vulnerable girls and boys, as well as men and women, could benefit from early identification of dysfunctional relational characteristics (Krahé & Vanwesenbeeck, 2015).…”

“…Furthermore, based on the pivotal article by Hamberger and Hastings (1986), there is wide agreement regarding the association between IPV behaviours and personality traits (South et al, 2008): impulsivity (Holtzworth-Munroe & Meehan, 2004), lack of empathy (Ehrensaft et al, 2006), detachment (Hamberger et al, 2000), antagonism, disinhibition, negative affectivity (Kasowski & Anderson, 2019), and psychopathy (Shaffer et al, 2021) are positively associated with violent aggression within romantic relationships. Looking at the three clusters of personality disorders, cluster A (paranoid, schizoid, schizotypal) and cluster B (borderline, narcissistic, antisocial, histrionic) seem to have a stronger correlation to IPV than cluster C (dependent, avoidant, obsessivecompulsive) (Ehrensaft et al, 2006).…”

Among the many forms of psychological violence, gaslighting is a particularly insidious manipulative behaviour that includes acts aimed at controlling and altering one’s own partner’s sensations, thoughts, actions, affective state, self-perception, and reality-testing. Thepurpose of this study was to evaluate the association between the experience of gaslighting and dysfunctional aspects of the partner’s personality. Gaslighter personality facets were assessed using the Personality Inventory for DSM-5–Informant Form–Adult (PID-5-IRF), while gaslighting behaviours were assessed using a 25-item questionnaire, based on the three categories of glamour, good-guy, and intimidator (Stern, 2007). The sample was made up of a group of 177 Italian emerging adults aged between 19 and 26 (49.2% male, 50.8% female; M = 21.88, SD = 1.75), enrolled at University, who participated voluntarilyin the research. In fact, none of them received any form of direct or indirect incentive.In our study, we applied a beta regression model mapping the Likert scale into the open interval (0,1). The main results show (a) good-guy gaslighting is positively associated with manipulativeness and negatively associated with deceitfulness; (b) glamour gaslighting has a negative association with separation insecurity and manipulativeness, but it is positively associated with irresponsibility; (c) intimidator gaslighting has a positive association with separation insecurity and distractibility and a negative association with eccentricity and perceptual dysregulation; (d) all three gaslighting categories are negatively associated with anhedonia and impulsivity. Based on what emerged from the data, aspects such as separation insecurity, irresponsibility, and distractibility can be seen as serious risk factors for gaslighting.For this reason, with regard to clinical implications, an early recognition of dysfunctional traits in potential abusers should be fostered in order to protect both potential abusers and their partner from aggressive conduct within an intimate relationship.

“…Similarly, AAS dependents have demonstrated reduced ability to infer or interpret the mental state of others compared to non-using weight-lifters (66). Furthermore, antagonism and disinhibition may contribute to externalizing behaviors (67,68) which may put others at risk, including sexual aggression (69).…”

Background: Anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS), including testosterone and synthetic derivatives, are typically used to increase muscle mass. Many users develop a dependence on these substances, contributing to worsened physical and mental health outcomes. Aspects of personality and executive dysfunction may represent underlying vulnerabilities for developing dependence.Objective: To identify levels of AAS dependence within substance use disorder (SUD) treatment patients and assess the relationship between dependence severity and personality traits and executive function (EF).Methods: Data were collected from patients at 38 SUD treatment facilities in Norway. Questionnaires were completed for measures of personality and EF. Measures of symptoms of AAS dependence were used in latent class analysis to identify sub-groups of patients, which were evaluated for association with EF and personality traits, and compared with a group of non-AAS using SUD patients. Results: Three classes were identified; largely reflecting low, moderate, and high symptoms of dependence. Multinomial regression analyses indicated that moderate and high symptoms were associated with several measures of EF and personality traits, particularly antagonism, disinhibition, psychoticism, and relational capacities, while users with low symptoms exhibited higher capacities for emotional control and shift, and lower negative affectivity, relative to non-AAS using SUD patients. Backward stepwise regressions indicated antagonism, and decreased self-monitoring as key personality and cognitive characteristics of SUD patients with severe AAS dependence.Conclusion: Our findings indicate that specific executive dysfunctions and personality features, particularly those associated with poor emotional control, reduced empathy, and impulsivity are associated with more severe AAS dependence in the SUD population.
