| Abstract: | Since coercive control is not unlawful in Germany and the Netherlands, it was investigated how abusive these behaviours were perceived in the sample. This study explored the role of subject justifications based on ambivalent sexist beliefs on the perception of coercive and controlling behaviours as abusive. In this study, participants read a fictional story that illustrated a coercive and controlling relationship. There were three conditions. The first condition included justifications from the perpetrator based on benevolent sexist beliefs. The second condition included justifications based on hostile sexist beliefs. The last condition included a description of the relationship without any justifications. The study revealed that most coercive and controlling behaviours were consistently viewed as highly abusive. Moreover, this study did show that hostile and benevolent sexist justifications did not predict abuse perceptions |
