Özet

Purpose This study examined the relationship between individuals' attitudes toward violence against women and their perception of gender roles. Design and Methods This descriptive and cross-sectional study design (n = 635) collected data using the ISKEBE Violence against Women Attitude Scale and the Perception of Gender Scale. Data analyses included descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression analyses. Results About 37.5% of the participants had been exposed to violence. A moderately positive correlation was found between the participants' scores on gender perception and attitude toward violence against women (r = 0.551, p < 0.000). Practice Implications Women did not approve of violence against women more than men did. Participants with higher education levels and employment had a more negative attitude toward violence against women.
