However, research has not yet identified the cognitive and affective pathways that link the endorsement of masculinity ideology and men\u2019s beliefs about IPV. The current study examined men\u2019s fear of intimacy, ambivalent (i.e., hostile and benevolent) sexism, and relationship dominance as potential mediating factors of the relationship between endorsement of traditional masculinity ideology and the acceptance of myths about male-to-female IPV in a community sample of 101 American men. Results supported the hypothesized relationship between men\u2019s endorsement of traditional masculinity ideology and their support of myths minimizing the impact of male-to-female IPV or shifting the perceived responsibility for the offenses from the male perpetrators to the female victims. Multiple regression analyses indicated that while men\u2019s hostile sexism and a preference for dominance in relationships did partially mediate the proposed relationship, fear of intimacy did not. The sample was largely homogeneous in terms of race\/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and educational background, although heterogeneous in age. Implications for prevention of IPV include the importance of addressing and challenging the pervasiveness of societal support of IPV myths. Clinical implications include the need for male-centric therapeutic interventions that respect male viewpoints, struggles, and strengths, and that work with, rather than against, a client\u2019s sense of masculinity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0886260518818430","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,14]],"date-time":"2018-12-14T12:08:58Z","timestamp":1544789338000},"page":"6145-6165","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["An Exploration of the Link Between Masculinity and Endorsement of IPV Myths in American Men"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"36","author":[{"given":"Alida Novarese","family":"Gage","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Private Practice, Memphis, TN, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Suzanne H.","family":"Lease","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Memphis, TN, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_1","volume-title":"The national intimate partner and sexual violence survey (NISVS): 2010 summary report","author":"Black M.
