MORENO CANDIL, David; CHAPA ROMERO, Ana Celia  y  RIVAS ZAVALA, Celene Esmeralda. De lo dicotómico a lo relativo. Estudio de las teorías implícitas de la violencia de pareja. Región y sociedad [online]. 2016, vol.28, n.66, pp.131-160. ISSN 2448-4849.

The present study was aimed at exploring the implicit theories of intimate partner violence between men and women of a municipality located in northern Sinaloa. In order to retrieve such theories, an Intimate Partner Violence Questionnaire (CTIVP) was developed from the established definition for domestic violence across four domains: physical, sexual, economic and psychological. Two independent variables were considered: the participants' and the aggressor's gender. Results showed that two types of violence are recognized: explicit and subtle. Generally speaking, men tend to attribute lesser degree of violence than women. The relevance of exploring social constructions of violence to understand the degree and growth of this phenomenon is highlighted.

Palabras llave : intimate partner violence; gender; implicit theories; attribution; social thought; Sinaloa.
