Este estudo teve como principal objetivo avaliar a prevalĂȘncia e distribuição da
Hostilidade Masculina Dirigida Ă s Mulheres, assim como compreender quais as caracterĂsticas
subjacentes Ă sua manifestação. O processo de amostragem realizado foi o nĂŁo probabilĂstico,
de conveniĂȘncia e intencional tipo snowball. A escala da Hostility Towards Women
(Hostilidade Dirigida Ă s Mulheres - HDM) (Check, 1984) foi administrada a 479 sujeitos do
gĂ©nero masculino. A escala da HDM revelou possuir uma boa ConsistĂȘncia interna. AtravĂ©s
de uma anĂĄlise correlacional, foi testada a incidĂȘncia da HDM entre os participantes, e a
relação entre a HDM e as seguintes variåveis: idade, nacionalidade, tipo de local de
residĂȘncia, habilitaçÔes acadĂ©micas, estado civil e rendimento anual. Os resultados revelaram
que 316 (66%) dos participantes possuĂam HDM elevada. A idade revelou ter uma associação
positiva com o nĂvel de HDM. Os participantes NĂŁo Portugueses revelaram possuir um nĂvel
de HDM mais elevado do que os participantes Portugueses. O nĂvel de escolaridade revelou
um efeito no nĂvel de HDM, tendo sido os participantes com grau de mestrado os que
revelaram nĂveis mais baixos de HDM. Os participantes solteiros ou em uniĂŁo de facto
revelaram possuir um nĂvel de HDM menos elevado do que os participantes casados ou
divorciados. Os participantes com um rendimento anual até 10 000 euros foram os que
revelaram HDM mais baixo.
Estas descobertas ajudam a compreender a prevalĂȘncia e distribuição da HDM e
podem contribuir para ampliar a pesquisa e os esforços que visam a sua prevenção e redução.
ABSTRACT: The essential aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and distribution of male Hostility Toward Women (HTW), as well as to understand the characteristics underlying its manifestation. The sampling process used was non-probabilistic, convenience-based and snowball-type. The HTW scale (Check, 1985) was administered to 479 male subjects, aged between 21-66, of whom 328 (68.5%) were Portuguese nationals and 151 (31.5%) were foreigners. The HTW scale revealed good internal consistency. Using correlational analyses, we tested the incidence of HTW among participants, as well as the association between HTW and the following variables: age, nationality, location of residence, education, marital status, and annual income. The results revealed that among participants, 316 (66%) had high HTW. Age was found to be positively associated with HTW. Non-Portuguese participants showed a higher level of HTW than Portuguese participants. The level of schooling showed an effect on the HTW level, and the participants with masterŽs degree showed lower levels of HDM. Single or union participants were found to have lower levels of HTW than married or divorced participants. The participants with an annual income of up to ⏠10,000 were the ones who showed lower HTW. These findings help to understand the prevalence and distribution of HTW, and may contribute to further research and efforts to prevent and reduce it.
