BOIRA, Santiago; CHILET-ROSELL, Elisa; JARAMILLO-QUIROZ, Sofía  e  REINOSO, Jessica. Sexism, Distorted Thoughts and Violence in Couple Relationships in Ecuadorian Universities with Students Related to Welfare and Health. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2017, vol.16, n.4, pp.30-41. ISSN 1657-9267.  https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.upsy16-4.spdv.

This study aims to analyze the relationships between sexist attitudes, distorted thoughts about women, the use of violence and violent behaviors in couples. The study was carried out in Ecuadorian universities with students related to Welfare and Health studies. There were 646 students from three universities (424 men and 222 women). The following tests were applied: Modified version of the Scale Conflict Tactics, Ambivalent Sexism Inventory, Inventory of Distorted Thoughts and Social Desirability Scale. The Mann-Whitney and Kruskal Wallis tests were applied to detect statistically significant differences. In order to estimate the effect of social desirability on responses it was performed different linear regressions. The results identify high levels of sexism and perpetrated and suffered violence, although these results seemed to be influenced by social desirability. This becomes especially important due to the role played by these professionals in the detection and treatment of intimate partner violence. The results show the importance to work on educational interventions in universities to minimize sexist thoughts that cause violence against women.
