Abstract
Abstract This article explores the relationship between the justifications of intimate partner violence against women with other attitudinal variables (sexual tolerance, gender equality) based on the data from the sixth wave of the World Values Survey (2010–2014) for Europe and the MENA region. Following the proposal of Hawley’s human ecology, Galtung’s centre-periphery theory, Inglehart’s theory of values, and the feminist theories about the sex-gender order of coercion and consent (Walby 1990, Rodríguez 2004) the author constructed a structural equation model (SEM) and used the AMOS (Analysis of Moment Structures) software. The result corroborates these general theories, and offer some interesting result about the impact of the social changes that are taking place in values about sexual tolerance and equality together with the changes in communication patterns.
