Resumo:The present study investigated the relationship between belief in a just world as well as victim and perpetrator similarity with secondary victimization and perpetrator blame in instances of intimate partner violence. 171 participants took part in an online survey. Using a 2x2 between-subject design, each participant read one of four intimate partner violence vignettes in which gender-identities and gender-constellation of victim and perpetrator varied, with both men and women as victims and perpetrators. In line with the hypotheses, participants with stronger just world beliefs minimized the victims’ suffering to a greater extent. However, belief in a just world was not associated with secondary victimization as well its’ other two dimensions victim blaming and victim avoidance. Both secondary victimization and belief in a just world were negatively associated with perpetrator blame. Victim and perpetrator similarity however did neither moderate the association between belief in a just world and secondary victimization nor the association between belief in a just world and perpetrator blame. Contrary to the hypotheses, victims of similar perpetrators were not secondarily victimized to a greater extent than those of dissimilar perpetrators. The present study extends past research by investigating the association of belief in a just world, victim and perpetrator similarity with secondary victimization and perpetrator blame not only individually, but also in interaction with each other. Furthermore, the present study contributes to the representation and investigation of reactions to intimate partner violence in relationships with different gender constellations.
