Resumen

La violencia sexual es un problema actual sobre el que se necesita estudio empírico, pues afecta a más del 30 % de las mujeres en sus relaciones con los hombres. El obje­tivo de esta investigación ha sido comprobar el modo en el que el tipo de táctica utilizada para conseguir sexo, el género y el sexismo benévolo influyen en la responsabi­lidad que se le atribuye al agresor. Utilizando una mues­tra de 305 participantes, se presenta un escenario sexual en el contexto de una relación de pareja, en el que se ma­nipula el tipo de táctica utilizada para tener sexo (neutra, persuasión o coerción sexual). Los resultados indican que las personas responsabilizan más al agresor cuando la táctica utilizada es persuasión o coerción sexual, que cuando se utilizan tácticas no violentas (neutra). Además, se comprueba que los hombres con alto sexismo bené­volo culpan menos al agresor solamente cuando éste uti­liza tácticas más sutiles de violencia sexual (persuasión sexual), mientras que este efecto no ocurre en las muje­res. Estos resultados permiten proporcionar un marco teórico sobre el que incidir para establecer los límites de los comportamientos que se consideran aceptables o no en una relación, contribuyendo a su detección y rechazo, así como para considerar su influencia en la toma de de­cisión del ámbito jurídico en los casos de violencia de género.
