Abstract
This research systematically addresses the potential influence of patriarchal culture in motivating men's imposition against women in social conflict. Social conflict in conceptualized here at the level of the dyad, as two actors express differing desires concerning how interaction between them should proceed. A sample of 50 popular movies are analyzed as representative of patriarchal culture and descriptive statistical procedures are applied to isolate associations between variables suggested by an affective model of motivation. Results show that female actors in the movies are stereotypically associated with affective disadvantages in conflict with male actors, and these disadvantages are associated with male-dominant and female-subordinate outcomes of conflict. These cultural associations, termed fundamental sentiments, are proposed to generate parallel affective expectations in men, and emotional motivation for patriarchal imposition when expectations are challenged by nonconsenting women.
