Abstract [en]

Intimate partner violence towards women (IPVAW) is a global problem, also prevalent in the Nordic countries including Sweden. Attitudes regarding IPVAW are important for the addressing and prevention of the issue. At the individual level, a tolerate attitude towards violence against women has shown to be related to IPV perpetration, while a permissive public view of the issue can have a negative impact on the help-seeking behavior of exposed women. More knowledge regarding IPV attitudes can therefore contribute to the development of preventive measures. The current study investigates University students’ attitudes regarding intimate partner violence towards women (IPVAW). Students responded to a survey covering four different aspects of attitudes to IPVAW: perceived severity and acceptability of IPVAW, victim-blaming and willingness to intervene in cases of IPVAW, usinga validated questionnaire. The respondents (n=656, ≥18 years old) represented different scientific fields (e.g. behavioral, technical, and social sciences) at three different universitiesin Sweden. 81% of them were women and most were undergraduate students. While the results point to low victim-blaming and acceptability of IPVAW overall, differences between female and male students and other student groups were identified, with implications forfuture research, policy and practice.
