“…According to the just world hypothesis (Lerner, 1980), the extent to which people believe that the world is a just place helps to explain their reaction to victims. Considering that other studies have demonstrated the importance of the victim's social category for an adequate understanding of the just world hypothesis (Aguiar, Vala, Correia, & Pereira, 2008;Correia et al, 2012;Correia, Alves, Morais, & Ramos, 2015;Correia, Vala, & Aguiar, 2007;Halabi, Statman, & Dovidio, 2015), the present research aimed to investigate the moderating role of the victim's social category in the relation between the explicit and implicit dimensions of Belief in Just World (BJW), on the one hand, and victim blaming, on the other.…”

The present research investigated the process of victim blaming in the context of intergroup relations through the just world hypothesis. In two studies we tested the infl uence of the victim's social category in the relationship between explicit and implicit beliefs in a just world (BJW) and victim blaming. In Study 1, 102 participants answered the explicit and implicit measures of BJW and evaluated how much a stray bullet victim (ingroup X outgroup) was to blame. In Study 2, aside from the manipulation of victim social category, we included a manipulation of cognitive load. 110 participants answered the BJW measures and evaluated how much a stray bullet victim (ingroup X outgroup) was to blame in a situation of cognitive load (low X high). It was verifi ed that the victim's social category interferes in the relationship between BJW and victim blaming. When explicit or implicit BJW explained blaming, that effect was restricted to the evaluation of an ingroup victim. The fi ndings of the present research confi rm the hypothesis that ingroup victims are more threatening to individual's BJW and indicate the importance of considering the victim's social category for a more adequate understanding of the just world hypothesis.A presente pesquisa investigou o processo de responsabilização de vítimas no contexto das relações intergrupais a partir da hipótese do mundo justo. Em dois estudos testamos a infl uência da categoria social da vítima na relação entre crenças no mundo justo (CMJ) explícita\ implícita e a responsabilização de vítimas. No Estudo 1, 102 participantes responderam a medidas explícita e implícita da CMJ e avaliaram o grau de responsabilidade de uma vítima (endogrupo X exogrupo) de bala perdida. No Estudo 2, além da manipulação da categoria social da vítima, incluímos uma manipulação de carga cognitiva. Foram 110 participantes que responderam às medidas da CMJ e avaliaram a responsabilidade de uma vítima (endogrupo X exogrupo) de bala perdida em uma situação de carga cognitiva (baixa X alta). Verifi couse que a categoria social da vítima interfere na relação da CMJ com a responsabilização.

“…Another aspect considered in the analytical perspective adopted in this research is based on the assumptions of social identity theory (Tajfel & Turner, 1979), whose central idea is that when people categorize themselves as members of social groups, they begin to defi ne themselves in terms of their group affi liations, and no longer due to their individual characteristics alone. This categorization accentuates intragroup similarities and diff erences between groups (Correia, Alves, Morais, & Ramos, 2015).…”

This study investigated the relationship between the victim's group membership and secondary victimization she suff ers, moderated by Moral Values and Belief in a Just World (BJW). The victim of the ingroup was blamed more for the sexual violence she suff ered (Study 1, N = 250). In turn, that relationship was moderated by binding values (Study 2, N = 117) and by BJW (Study 3, N = 258). Together, the results suggest that the victim blaming is greater when she belongs to the ingroup; and that this relationship is predicted by high adherence to binding values and low adherence to BJW. This research contributes to the extent that it demonstrates that the relationship between adherence to binding values and victim derogation does not occur exclusively at the cognitive level, as information processing in which high adherence to these values would produce greater secondary victimization regardless of group membership of the victim. Additionally, it highlights the importance of considering the psychosocial processes underlying violence against women in order to promote more eff ective discussions and actions.

“…This definition expresses the imposed violence by sexual partner and current or ex-spouse [7]. This kind of violence destroys the society playing the role of a global dilemma that threats life, health, and happiness of people [8]. Although the concept of domestic violence expresses the violence between family members, it refers usually to the violence between adults that are sexual of emotional partners.…”
