No full textIs Politics Still a Masculine Thing? Stereotypical Male Description Activates the Prototype of the Politically Committed Individual Worthy of a Vote
No full textIn the last few centuries, women in Western countries have achieved revolutionary advancements in terms of civil and social rights. Nevertheless, women continue to be underrepresented in leadership positions, and this major issue needs to be tackled. In the present research, comprising two studies, we aimed to test the role of gender stereotype salience in affecting the extent to which individuals view women and men as being close to the ‘politically involved individual’ prototype and its influence on the intention to vote for women and men. In both studies, we found that the increased perceived likelihood of a target to participate in politics when described as a real man (Study 1) or as stereotypically masculine (irrespective of his/her sex, Study 2), in respect to the other conditions, mediated participants’ willingness to vote for them in case of candidacy.In the last few centuries, women in Western countries have achieved revolutionary advancements in terms of civil and social rights.

No full textResearchers interested in intimate partner violence (IPV) have focused primarily on male-against-female cases. We conducted two experimental investigations to examine the influence of moral evaluation, attribution of responsibility, and right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) on the willingness of bystanders to provide help to the victim in an IPV case involving a same-sex couple. Study 1 (N = 195) surveyed a heterosexual participant sample, and Study 2 (N = 120) surveyed a sample of gay and lesbian participants. In both studies, participants read a fictitious article describing an alleged IPV episode that occurred either in a male–male or a female–female couple. Each participant read an article describing one of two versions of a case of IPV: In one account, the victim admitted to infidelity and in the other, the victim did not confess to infidelity. The participants subsequently evaluated the victim and expressed their willingness (or lack thereof) to support and provide help to the injured party. In both studies, participants in the condition that included the admission of infidelity assessed the victim to be less moral and more responsible for the violent episode. Consequently, participants of both studies expressed lesser willingness to provide help to the victim. Moreover, in Study 1, the relationship between the admission of infidelity and the respondents’ willingness to support the victim was moderated by RWA. Particularly, the admission of infidelity by the victim reduced the respondents’ willingness to extend support only when they reported a medium to a high level of RWA ideology. By focusing specifically on same-sex IPV cases, this study contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the reactions of witnesses with regard to IPV. Furthermore, it provides evidence about the underlying mechanisms mitigating the intervention of bystanders in such cases and identifies boundary conditions that exacerbate their (un)willingness to intervene
Italian bystanders' reactions to intimate partner violence within gay-men couples: The role of infidelity and gender-role expression
No full textWhile research on Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) focuses more on the male-against-female case, the examination of same-sex couples is limited. We examined bystanders' evaluations towards gay-men victims of IPV. One hundred and fifty-eight Italian undergraduates (124 females, 33 males, 1 unknown; mean age = 21.37; SD = 2.18) voluntary read a fictitious article of IPV in which gay-men victims - described as feminine vs. masculine - admitted or not the infidelity. They evaluated victims and expressed their willingness to provide help. Results showed that being unfaithful leads to evaluate victims as less moral, more responsible for the violence, and these evaluations affect bystanders' willingness to support victims. Despite differences in evaluations of feminine/masculine gay-men emerged, gender-role expression did not moderate the pattern of findings
