Abstract

Internalizirana mizoginija (IM) oblik je internaliziranog seksizma koji se odnosi na devaluaciju žena, nepovjerenje prema ženama i vjerovanje u mušku superiornost (Piggott, 2004), a javlja se kada žene usvoje seksističke poruke koje čuju tijekom života te ih upućuju drugim ženama (Bearman i sur., 2009). Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati ulogu individualnih karakteristika te okolinskih utjecaja u objašnjenju IM kod žena. 530 žena u rasponu dobi od 18 do 90 godina ispunilo je upitnik na tablet računalu. Uzorak je bio reprezentativan za populaciju odraslih žena u Republici Hrvatskoj. U skladu s očekivanjima, značajnim prediktorima IM pokazali su se starija dob, niži stupanj obrazovanja, desna politička orijentacija, viša razina desničarske autoritarnosti, niže samopoštovanje i niži stupanj ovladavanja životnim teškoćama. Okolinski utjecaji doživljenih rodnih diskriminacija nisu objašnjavali značajan udio varijance povrh individualnih karakteristika. Veličina mjesta stanovanja, društveni konzervativizam, stupanj religioznosti te doživljena rodna diskriminacija u primarnoj obitelji u djetinjstvu nisu se pokazali značajnim prediktorima. Samopoštovanje je moderiralo odnos između doživljenih rodnih mikroagresija u odrasloj dobi i IM. Suprotno očekivanjima, visoko samopoštovanje nije bilo povezano s manjom internalizacijom mizoginije prilikom doživljavanja rodnih mikroagresija, već naprotiv, više izraženom IM. Nije pronađen očekivani moderacijski efekt ovladavanja životnim teškoćama u odnosu između doživljenih rodnih mikroagresija i internalizirane mizoginije.

Abstract (english)

Internalized misogyny (IM) is a form of internalized sexism that refers to devaluing women, distrusting women, and valuing men over women (Piggott, 2004). It occurs when women adopt sexist messages heard throughout their lives and direct them toward other women (Bearman et al., 2009). The aim of this research was to examine the role of individual characteristics and environmental influences in explaining IM in women. 530 women between 18 and 90 filled out the questionnaire on a tablet computer. The sample was representative of the population of adult women in Croatia. As expected, older age, lower level of education, right-wing political orientation, higher level of right-wing authoritarianism, lower self-esteem, and lower level of mastery were significant predictors of IM. Environmental influences of experienced gender discrimination did not explain a statistically significant amount of variance after accounting for individual characteristics. The size of the place of residence, social conservatism, level of religiosity, and experience of gender discrimination in the primary family in childhood were not significant predictors. Self-esteem moderated the relationship between experienced gender microaggressions in adulthood and IM. Contrary to expectations, high self-esteem was not associated with lower IM when experiencing gender microaggressions, but rather a higher level of IM. The expected moderating effect of mastery on the relationship between experienced gender microaggressions and internalized misogyny was not found.
