| contents | System Justification in the Social Explanation of the Violence against Minoritized Groups Karla Santos Mateus Cicero Roberto Pereira Psicología racism sexism Violence homophobia system justification Violence against minoritized groups continues to be pervasive despite social norms prescribing nonviolence because it is legitimized in democratic societies. It is likely that, when individuals are faced with the occurrence of violence within their social environment, they justify it because the individuals tend to perceive and defend all social events as just, legitimate, and necessary. We addressed this possibility in two experimental studies in which we manipulated the minoritized group victim of violence (black vs. women vs. gays vs. control). In Study 1 (N= 104), participants blamed more women for their own victimization; blamed the perpetrator less when the victim was black people and depicted homophobic violence as a social issue similar to general violence in society. Study 2 (N = 217) went further by showing that these effects occur especially when participants were asked to respond as thought by society. We discuss explanations for violence as examples of individuals’ tendency to justify the social system and provide new insights for the secondary victimization research. 2023 artículo científico 0034-9690 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=28478439003 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/284/28478439003/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/284/28478439003/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/284/28478439003/28478439003.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/284/28478439003/movil 10.30849/ripijp.v57i3.1743 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=284 Revista Interamericana de Psicología/Interamerican Journal of Psychology application/pdf Sociedad Interamericana de Psicología Revista Interamericana de Psicología/Interamerican Journal of Psychology (Puerto Rico) Num.3 Vol.57 |
