PALAVRAS-CHAVES: Prejudice; violence; Belief in a Justo World; Secondary Victimization; Legitimation.
PÁGINAS: 112
RESUMO: Women, homosexuals and Black people are the targets of intentional violence on the base of their group membership. Often, both individuals and institutions secondarily victimize minority groups victim of group-based violence. The persistence of this violence and the social support it receives revels a legitimization process that involves individuals' perceptions and desire for justice. The current thesis proposes the hypothesis that justice perceptions legitimize violence toward minority groups. We based this proposal within the framework of the social psychology of the legitimation of social inequality. To test the proposed hypothesis, we developed a research program in which we carried out four experimental studies and a correlational one. We presented the results of these studies in three journal articles. In the first one, we tested our hypothesis in two experimental studies on violence against minority groups (i.e., black people, women and homosexuals). In Study 1 (N= 104), participants blamed more women for their victimization; blamed the perpetrator less when the victim was black and depicted homophobic violence as a social issue similar to widespread violence in society. Study 2 (N = 217) went further by showing that these effects occur, especially when participants who respond as thought by Brazilian society. In the second article, we conducted two new studies to test whether the secondary victimization of a victim of aggression is related to prejudice and belief in the just world (BJW). In Study 1 (N = 102), we manipulated the clues of the sexual orientation of a male victim of violence. We found that more prejudiced participants minimized the victim's suffering and blamed a homosexual victim to a greater extent than non-prejudiced participants. Study 2 (N = 205) replicated these results and went further by showing that, in participants with stronger BJW, prejudice predicted more minimization of victim suffering when they perceived the victim as homosexual. The third article is in preparation and presents an experimental study (N = 106) The third article is in development and offers an experimental research (N = 106) testing whether the secondary victimization plays a role in the relationship between prejudice and discrimination against homosexuals. We discussed the thesis results within the framework of the Justified Discrimination Model by highlighting the role played by prejudice, BJW and secondary victimization in violence against minority groups.
