The Violence Legitimation in Tunisia According to Gender and Context

We aimed in this paper to explore the context, and the aggressor and abused gender effects on the violence perceived legitimacy assessment. The research was conducted on a representative sample of the Tunisian population (N = 720). The procedure consisted in exposing the subjects to a scenarios set combining systematically the different independent variables modalities. Results showed an aggressor and abused gender effect as well as modulation effects of the context, the homo/heterogeneity of the violence partners gender and that of the assessor.
