Abstract

The main purpose of this study was to analyse whether children’s exposure to marital violence was associated with higher levels of hostile or benevolent sexism and with lower psychological well-being when they are adults. The sample consisted of 1,378 university students of both sexes aged between 17 and 30. As was expected, marital violence and ambivalent sexism inversely predicted children’s psychological well-being. Children’s exposure to marital violence was a significant predictor of ambivalent sexism, although its low predictive value is discussed.

Resumen

El objetivo principal del estudio era analizar si la exposición a la violencia marital se asocia a un mayor nivel de sexismo hostil o benevolente de los hijos/as adultos/as y a un menor bienestar psicológico. Participaron 1,378 estudiantes universitarios de ambos sexos con edades comprendidas entre 17 y 30 años. Como era predecible, la exposición a la violencia marital y el sexismo predecían inversamente el bienestar psicológico de los hijos/as. La exposición a la violencia marital era un predictor significativo del sexismo ambivalente de los hijos/as, aunque se discute la baja capacidad predictiva.
