• Resumen

  • The main aim of this research was the construction of a new measure to assess male proclivity toviolence against women in partners. Based in a previous rape proclivity scale (Bohner, Reinhard,Rutz, Sturm, Kerschbaum y Effler, 1998), we have developed several scenarios representingthree types of abuse: physical, psychological and sexual. One hundred and eighty seven studentsfrom the Universities of Granada and La Rioja assessed different dimensions: their annoyance ifbeing in such scenarios, the probability of behaving in a similar way as the main character in thescenario and the probability of enjoying such a situation. Results showed high internalconsistency in the new proclivity scale and its positive correlations with ideological measuresrelated to gender violence, such as the Inventory of Beliefs about Wife Beating (Saunders,Lynch, Gayson y Linz, 1987) and the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory (Glick y Fiske, 1996;spanish version by Expósito, Moya y Glick, 1998).
