TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - The influence of non-misogynous and mixed portrayals of intimate partner violence in music on beliefs about intimate partner violence JO - Violence against women A1 - Franiuk, Renae A1 - Coleman, Jill A1 - Apa, Bethany SP - 243 EP - 257 VL - 23 IS - 2 N2 - In this study, we investigated the effect of songs that offer non-misogynous and ambivalent portrayals of intimate partner violence (IPV). Participants (N = 103) were exposed to a misogynous song about IPV, a song critical of IPV, and a song that offered an ambivalent portrayal of IPV. Our results showed positive effects of the anti-IPV song, and both positive and negative effects of the ambivalent portrayal on participants' beliefs about a violent relationship. These findings suggest that the context in which IPV is portrayed should be considered when evaluating the impact of media depicting IPV.
