Le Development D'Une Echelle D'Attitude Envers Les Femmes Violentees Par Leurs Conjoints

Publication: Canadian Journal of Community Mental Health
April 1988

Résumé

Les personnes concernées par la violence conjugale rapportent que les attitudes prévalant dans la société face à ce type de violence sont la source de bien des problèmes. Le manque d'instrument de mesure des attitudes a toutefois limité les recherches. Cet article décrit les ètapes suivies dans le dèveloppement et la validation d'une échelle d'attitude envers la femme violenèe par son conjoint. L'èchelle prèsente des qualitès mètrologiques suffisantes; elle n'est pas sensible au biais de la dèsirabilité sociale ni à celui de l'appartenance à un sexe. Comme postulé, une attitude favorable envers la femme violentée est relièe à une attitude non traditionnelle envers les rôles sexuals.

Abstract

Societal attitudes toward conjugal violence are a major source of problems. However, lack of instrumentation has hindered meaningful research. The aim of the present study is to describe the sequential development and subsequent validation of an attitude scale toward women victims of conjugal violence. The final scale demonstrates proper metrological qualities and is free from social desirability and sex bias. As predicted, there is a significant relationship between favourable attitudes toward women victims of violence and toward non-traditional sex roles.
