Resumo: | Violence against women (VAW) provides a major global health problem and living in a culture of honor (COH) has been identified as a risk factor for women’s health. Additionally, COH was suggested to be a risk factor for sexual objectification, which via self-objectification as suggested by Objectification Theory, might furthermore increase the risk of VAW. Various studies have investigated the effects of honor norms on attitudes towards VAW for men, however, research focusing on women is lacking. Therefore, this study investigated the relationship between female and non-gendered COH norms and general and situational attitudes towards VAW, and if this relationship might be sequentially mediated by sexual objectification and self-objectification. A total of 184 female Colombian residents completed the anonymous online survey. The results suggested that endorsement of female honor norms was associated with more accepting attitudes towards general and situational VAW and more self- objectification. Interestingly, female honor norms were associated with less reported sexual objectification, suggesting that female honor norms might be a risk factor for less perception of sexual objectification or lead women to behaviorally avoid sexual objectification. Non- gendered honor norms were associated with more acceptance of general VAW and self- objectification. No sequential mediation link was found. In spite of its limitations, results contributed to research by suggesting female honor norms as a risk factor for less perception of sexual objectification, greater self-objectification and more accepting attitudes towards VAW, while non-gendered honor norms might be a risk factor for self-objectification and more acceptance of general VAW. |

Adicionalmente, foi sugerido que a CdH é um fator de risco para a objectificação sexual, o que, através da auto-objectificação (teoria da objectificação) pode aumentar ainda mais o risco de VCM. Portanto, este estudo investigou a relação entre as ideologias de honra femininas e sem género e as atitudes gerais e situacionais face à VCM, e se esta relação pode ser sequencialmente mediada pela objectificação sexual e pela auto-objectificação. 184 mulheres residentes na Colômbia preencheram o inquérito anónimo em linha. Os resultados sugeriram que a adesão a ideologias de honra feminina foi associada a atitudes de maior aceitação da VCM geral e situacional e a mais auto-objectificação. Curiosamente, as ideologias de honra feminina foram associadas a menos objectificação sexual reportada, sugerindo que as ideologias de honra feminina podem ser um fator de risco para menos percepção da objectificação sexual. As ideologias de honra sem género foram associadas a mais aceitação da VCM geral e da auto- objectificação. Não foi encontrada um mediação sequencial. Os resultados contribuíram para a investigação, sugerindo que as ideologias de honra femininas são um fator de risco para menos percepção da objectificação sexual, mais auto-objectificação e atitudes de maior aceitação da VCM, enquanto as ideologias de honra sem género podem ser um fator de risco para a auto- objectificação e mais aceitação da VCM geral.2023-07-24T14:23:00Z2023-07-19T00:00:00Z2023-07-192023-06info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/29052TID:203331389engKaisig, Chiara Deniseinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-11-09T17:31:43Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/29052Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:14:16.389783Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
