LILA, Marisol; GRACIA, Enrique e HERRERO, Juan. Responsibility assumption among male batterers: self-esteem, narcissistic and antisocial personality influence. rev.latinoam.psicol. [online]. 2012, vol.44, n.2, pp.99-108. ISSN 0120-0534.
The main aim of this study was to analyze the relation between responsibility assumption among men convicted for domestic violence against women and self-esteem, narcissistic personality and antisocial personality. Participants in the study were 177 men participating in a court-ordered batterer intervention program in the community. Three MANCOVAS were performed to analyze differences in responsibility attributions (victim-blaming, self-defense, and self-attribution), and minimization as a function of narcissistic and antisocial personality traits presence, and levels of self-esteem. All analysis controlled for social desirability. Significant differences were found only between groups of low and high self-esteem in minimization. Subjects with low self-esteem showed higher levels of minimization of the violence for which they were convicted. These results implications of for batterers intervention programs are discussed.
