Low support for gender equality (GE) predicts attitudes supporting violence against women (VAW). However, little is known about the influence of attitudes toward different manifestations of GE. This study extends knowledge by assessing the relative strength of attitudes to GE across seven theoretically derived dimensions, and their association with attitudes toward VAW. 17,542 Australians participated in the 2017 National Community Attitudes Towards Violence Against Women Survey. Population means were calculated for the following scales formed from survey questions: the Community Attitudes Supportive of Violence Against Women Scale (CASVAWS), the Gender Equality Attitudes Scale (GEAS) and measures within the GEAS representing the theoretical dimensions. There was variation in support for GE between the measures. The lower the support for GE, the higher the support for VAW. Although all GEAS measures included in regression modelling contributed to variance in the CASVAWS, two accounted for more than half. The study suggests benefits in using a multidimensional model of GE to mitigate cultural support for VAW, with emphasis on the private sphere and countering hostility toward women and rigid gender roles and identities.

性别不平等和暴力侵害妇女行为有何关联？人口层面社区态度调查的结果

对性别平等 (GE) 的支持率低预示着支持暴力侵害妇女 (VAW) 的态度。然而，人们对对 GE 不同表现形式的态度的影响知之甚少。本研究通过评估七个理论派生维度上对 GE 的态度的相对强度以及它们与对 VAW 的态度的关联来扩展知识。17,542 名澳大利亚人参加了 2017 年全国社区对暴力侵害妇女行为的态度调查。根据调查问题形成的以下量表计算人口平均值：支持暴力侵害妇女行为的社区态度量表 (CASVAWS)、性别平等态度量表 (GEAS) 和代表理论维度的 GEAS 内的措施。这些措施对通用电气的支持存在差异。对 GE 的支持越低，对 VAW 的支持越高。尽管回归建模中包含的所有 GEAS 措施都导致了 CASVAWS 的方差，但其中两项占了一半以上。该研究表明，使用 GE 的多维模型来减轻对 VAW 的文化支持有好处，重点是私人领域，并对抗对女性的敌意以及僵化的性别角色和身份。
