BONILLA-ALGOVIA, Enrique  e  RIVAS-RIVERO, Esther. Distorted Beliefs About Violence Against Women in a Sample of Colombian Preservice Teachers. Rev. colomb. educ. [online]. 2019, n.77, pp.87-106. ISSN 0120-3916.  https://doi.org/10.17227/rce.num77-9571.

Violence against women is a social and public health-related problem that takes place in every country. The main purpose of this research is to analyze the distorted beliefs about gender roles and intimate partner violence against women in a sample of preservice teachers. The sample consisted of 443 students (71.6 % females and 28.4 % males) from Colombian universities. The results show statistically significant differences between men and women in the acceptance of distorted beliefs, with a higher rate of agreement among men. The distorted beliefs show a positive correlation with ambivalent sexism and myths of romantic love. Therefore, it is essential to provide gender-equality-based training for teachers to prevent violence against women and promote equality.
