Gender-based violence (gbv) is a global issue. One of its manifestations is Covert Social Violence, which materializes through the internalization of gender stereotypes. This subtle form of violence is the starting point for other types of violence that have negative implications for women's lives, health, and self-esteem. The aim of this study was to determine the levels of Covert Social Violence Against Women (csvaw) and its relationship with self-esteem among psychology students in the Sistema Universidad Abierta y Educación a Distancia (SUAYED) at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). Materials and Methods: A nonprobabilistic convenience sample included 83 psychology students from suayed at UNAM. The CSVAW Inventory, the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory and a sociodemographic questionnaire were used to measure the variables of interest. Results: The mean csvaw score was 87.2 (sd=17.70), reflecting a moderate internalization of gender norms. The mean self-esteem score was 16.4 (sd=4.98). A statistically significant association was found between the csvaw Inventory score and religion, χ² (18)=30.7, p=0.031, with a moderate Cramer’s v association coefficient (v=0.351). No associations were found between csvaw and self-esteem. Conclusion: Detecting subtle manifestations of violence, such as the internalization of gender norms, can help design interventions aimed at reducing gbv in society.
