Resumen

El abuso psicológico en las relaciones de pareja es un problema social de gran importancia y tiene graves consecuencias para las víctimas. La inmensa mayoría de mujeres que han sufrido violencia física han sido víctimas también de violencia psicológica. Hay una línea de investigación que trata de analizar el papel que desempeñan ciertas ideologías en el modo en que se percibe la violencia ejercida contra la mujer en sus distintas modalidades. Este estudio analiza la relación del autoritarismo de derechas y los valores propuestos por el modelo de Schwartz en la percepción del abuso psicológico sufrido por las mujeres en las relaciones de pareja como conductas categorizadas como violencia de género. Participaron en la investigación 308 estudiantes universitarios (206 mujeres y 102 hombres). Los resultados señalaron que el autoritarismo de derechas actúa como un factor de riesgo y el valor autotrascendencia como un factor de protección en la percepción del abuso psicológico como violencia género. Además, se obtuvo el efecto moderador del valor autotrascendencia en la relación entre autoritarismo de derechas y la percepción de abuso psicológico. Los datos confirman la importancia de la ideología conservadora y de los valores en la percepción de la violencia de género.
