Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Attitudes against sexism

  The Ambivalent Sexism Inventory, a 22-item self-report measure of sexism. Respondents indicate their level of agreement, on a 6-point Likert-type scale, with various statements. It is composed of two sub-scales that may be independently calculated for sub-scale scores or may be averaged for an overall composite sexism score. The first sub-scale is the hostile sexism scale, which is composed of 11 items designed to assess an individual's position on the dimensions of dominative paternalism, competitive gender differentiation, and heterosexual hostility, as previously defined. The second sub-scale is the benevolent sexism scale, which is composed of 11 items that aim to assess an individual's position on the dimensions of protective paternalism, complementary gender differentiation, and heterosexual intimacy.

  1-6 months after the intervention

• Level of Aggression

  Aggression Questionnaire-Refined measures four aspects of aggression: Physical Aggression and Verbal Aggression, which involve hurting or harming others and represent the instrumental or motor component of behavior; Hostility, which consists of feelings of ill-will and injustice and represents the cognitive component of behavior; and Anger, which involves physiological arousal and preparation for aggression and represents the emotional or affective component of behavior.

  1-6 months after the intervention

• Intolerance towards intimate partner violence

  The Maudsley Violence Questionnaire measures a range of cognitions, relating to violent behavior, drawn from clinical and theoretical perspectives. This measure integrates justification of violence in response to threatened self-esteem and the legitimization of violence as central elements. Participants are asked to rate as True or False a series of statements. The scale is comprised of two factors: 'machismo' (42 items) and 'acceptance of violence' (14 items).
