Resumen

Ecuador es uno de los países latinoamericanos con una mayor prevalencia de violencia de pareja contra la mujer (VPM), un problema social y de salud pública que tiene graves consecuencias para el bienestar de las mujeres. Las actitudes de aceptabilidad hacia la VPM son un factor esencial para comprender mejor este problema y desarrollar iniciativas de prevención e intervención eficaces. En este estudio se presenta la validación de la escala de actitudes de aceptabilidad de la VPM española (A-IPVAW) al contexto sociocultural ecuatoriano en dos muestras de 992 y de 346 participantes. Los resultados mostraron que esta medida posee una buena consistencia interna, que es invariante entre géneros, que sus ítems tienen una baja carga de deseabilidad social, y que se relaciona con otros constructos actitudinales teóricamente relevantes. Estos hallazgos proporcionan evidencia de que la escala A-IPVAW es un instrumento adecuado para evaluar la aceptabilidad de la VPM en Ecuador.
