TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Moral absolutism, self-deception, and moral self-concept in men who commit intimate partner violence: a comparative study with an opposite sample JO - Violence against women A1 - Vecina, María L. A1 - Chacón, F. A1 - Pérez-Viejo, J. M. SP - 3 EP - 16 VL - 22 IS - 1 N2 - The objective of this study is to show compatible data with the idea that men who commit intimate partner violence are uninhibited about the moral consequences of their behaviors, probably because they feel certainty about the rightness of their moral values and they strongly deceive themselves to maintain a good moral self-concept, and thus a good level of well-being. To do that, we compare their scores with those obtained by an opposite sample regarding the use of violence, made up of professional male psychologists who work in the social field trying to teach others alternative strategies to violence.
