Emotional Distress in Incarcerated Populations
The Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21) is widely used to identify common mental disorders among adults and has demonstrated strong validity in clinical populations, correlating strongly with established diagnostic tools. It offers a practical alternative to comprehensive assessments like the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI), particularly for rapid screening. Despite its widespread use, no prior research has examine…
Common knowledge? Awareness of national and international oversight bodies among incarcerated individuals in Spain
Oversight bodies are recognised as important resources to prevent ill-treatment in places where individuals are deprived of their freedom. Despite this recognition and the existence of such bodies at both national and supra-national levels, little is known about how incarcerated people perceive them. This study sheds light on this issue by examining the awareness of a national and a supra-national body among incarcerated men and women in Spain ( …
Shattering the Silence
Understanding Rape Myth Acceptance Through the Lens of Sexual Objectification Theory
Sexual Objectification Theory posits that exposure to objectifying content, such as pornography, the purchase of sexual services, and adherence to traditional masculinity, can contribute to the acceptance of harmful beliefs about sexual violence. This study examined the relationship between rape myth acceptance and a range of attitudinal and personal factors using a sample of 1,603 internet users in Spain (51.6% women, M = 45.7 years old). The ou…
Reducing the Methodological Heterogeneity (“Noise”) in the Literature Predicting In-Prison Interpersonal Harm in Male Populations
Interpersonal harm is a preventable public health problem. A growing body of literature shows persistently elevated exposure rates to physical and sexual victimization during incarceration. Yet how to prevent interpersonal harm during incarceration has proven far more elusive. A public health approach to prevention offers promise. To develop effective prevention strategies, the public health approach begins with defining and measuring the problem…
A vignette study analysing factors influencing attributions of responsibility to victims and perpetrators of intimate partner violence against women
Evidence shows that blaming attitudes towards victims of intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) are widespread, creating a social climate that condones this form of violence. The aim of the current study is to analyse the potential impact of multiple factors surrounding the scenario and some personal and attitudinal characteristics of the respondents on the responsibility attributed to victims and perpetrators of IPVAW. To achieve this, …
El Rol de la Ubicación y la Presencia de Terceras Personas en la Revelación de Experiencias de Violencia en la Pareja en una Encuesta Personal
Las evidencias muestran que la presencia de terceras personas mientras se responden encuestas puede comprometer la calidad de los datos, ya que las personas encuestadas podrían ser más reticentes a responder preguntas de naturaleza sensible y/o proporcionar respuestas menos precisas. El principal objetivo de este estudio consiste en analizar la influencia de la ubicación y la presencia de terceros en las respuestas a una encuesta sobre temática s…
Multitarea en una encuesta online prevalencia, predictores e impacto en la calidad de los datos
Estudios recientes muestran la elevada prevalencia de encuestados que realizan actividades secundarias mientras responden cuestionarios. Debido a la escasez de estudios y al posible impacto de la multitarea en la calidad de los datos, el presente trabajo analiza el porcentaje de encuestados que realizan multitasking y examina las actividades secundarias más frecuentes en una encuesta online conducida con panelistas en España (N = 1.007). Asimismo…
Towards a typology of prisoners’ awareness of and familiarity with prison inspection and monitoring bodies
Inspection and monitoring bodies have an important role in the protection of prisoners’ rights. Although these bodies are seen as widely beneficial, there is limited research examining their operations in practice. This study addresses this gap in the existing literature by identifying unique profiles of prisoners based on their familiarity with prison oversight bodies. In addition, the relationship between profiles and key factors (personal char…
Mental health, substance abuse, prison victimization and suicide attempts amongst incarcerated women
Worldwide, incarcerated women are known to suffer adverse experiences that might increase the risk of suicide attempts during incarceration. The present investigation examines the prevalence of suicide attempts amongst incarcerated women in Spain and the factors associated with this. Between January and March of 2017 a total of 174 women, enrolled from two prisons in the southeast of Spain, completed anonymous self-report measures of demographic …
Patterns of Childhood Adversities and Their Associations With Adult Victimization Among Incarcerated Men and Women in Spanish Prisons
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are prevalent and have long lasting effects. There is evidence of gender differences in exposure to different types of ACEs, with women experiencing higher levels of sexual abuse and cumulative adversity than men. Despite this, most research examining patterns of adversities have used joint samples, assuming that men and women have comparable profiles. The current study examines if distinct profiles of childho…
The Prevalence of Prison-based Physical and Sexual Victimization in Males and Females
This systematic review investigated the prevalence of prison-based interpersonal harm by type of victimization (physical and sexual) and sex, along with the heterogeneity among studies using meta-regression. Using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and the Meta-Analysis guidelines, 24 articles met the selection criteria. Study quality was assessed using the Joana Briggs Institute (20.8% deemed low quality, 33.3% moderate, and 45.9% …
A.C.A … All Coppers Are … an analysis of police legitimacy in Spain
In Spain, knowledge about public attitudes towards the police is limited compared to other countries. This study contributes to fill gaps in the literature by examining a wide range of correlates of police legitimacy. Using data from the Spanish sample (N = 1,885) of the European Social Survey (ESS) Round 5, we estimate multivariate regression models with two measures of police legitimacy as outcome variables: moral alignment (α = .81) and duty t…
Do Youth Dream of Gender Stereotypes? The Relationship among Gender Stereotyping, Support for Feminism, and Acceptance of Gender-Based Violence
Although gender roles have continued to evolve, stereotypical perceptions about men and women persist. From a traditional perspective, men are viewed as aggressive, competitive, and dominant, whereas women are expected to be pretty, affectionate, and passive. The relevance of gender stereotypes lies in the way such expectations reinforce gender inequality and discrimination. Gender stereotyping is also linked to an increased acceptance of gender-…
Judging the Severity of Intimate Partner Violence Against Women
Public perceptions of the severity of intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) play a crucial role in its prevention. This study examines the impact of multiple factors related to the scenario and respondent characteristics on the perceived severity of IPVAW. To achieve this, a factorial survey design was implemented using a non-probability-based sample in Spain ( N = 1007). The results indicate that 90.3% of respondents rated the scenario…
The Devil Is in the Details
Despite the widespread use of examples in survey questions, very few studies have examined their impact on survey responses, and the evidence is mainly based on data collected in the United States using questionnaires in English. This study builds on previous research by examining the effects of providing examples using data from a cross-national probability-based web panel implemented in Estonia ( n = 730), Great Britain ( n = 685), and Slovenia…
[Y]ou are better off talking to a f****** wall
The ways in which grievance procedures are used and perceived by incarcerated people raise important questions about the operation of procedural justice and legal consciousness and mobilization scholarship in settings where rights are especially vulnerable. This paper analyzes perceptions and usage of the grievance procedure for incarcerated people using survey data from people (N = 508) in three prisons in Ireland. We find that incarcerated peop…
Agree or Disagree
Previous research shows that the direction of rating scales can influence participants' response behavior. Studies also suggest that the device used to complete online surveys might affect the susceptibility to these effects due to the different question layouts (e.g., horizontal grids vs. vertical individual questions). This article contributes to previous research by examining scale direction effects in an online multi-device survey conducted w…
Substance Use, Family Functionality, and Mental Health among College Students in Spain
Mental health symptoms are overrepresented among college students worldwide. The current research investigates the associations among substance use, family functionality, and mental health (depression, anxiety, and stress) among college students in Spain. A total of 828 (59.2% female and 40.8% male) college students from two public universities completed a self-reported online survey that included items on demographic information, substance use (…
The European committee for the prevention of torture and the gendered experience of imprisonment
The European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CPT) is a supranational prison oversight body tasked with carrying out visits to places of detention across Europe. Prisons fall within the remit of the CPT, and much like prisons themselves, CPT prison visits tend to focus on the male experience of imprisonment. However, the experience of imprisonment is inherently gendered and, as such, the ex…
Correctional oversight bodies’ resources and protections across the European Union
Oversight bodies play a critical role in upholding human rights standards in prison. Several international instruments require states to establish independent forms of prison oversight and to give them the powers they need to conduct their work. Resources are central to the effectiveness and independence of oversight bodies. Of equal importance is the ability of prison oversight bodies to offer protections against reprisals for those who choose t…
Rights protection in prisons
Despite the increasing focus on prison inspection and monitoring bodies in international law and policy, little is known about their operations in practice. This study contributes to fill this gap by examining how countries of the European Union (EU) have responded to these demands, paying special attention to one of the central tasks of these bodies: the making of recommendations. To do so, we used data from the first EU-wide survey of prison ov…
None of My Business? An Experiment Analyzing Willingness to Formally Report Incidents of Intimate Partner Violence Against Women
Although data show that intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) is a concealed phenomenon that is severely underreported, studies examining willingness to report episodes of IPVAW are limited. To contribute to this field of research, a factorial survey experiment was implemented in which each respondent ( N = 1,007) received a unique vignette describing a hypothetical case of IPVAW. Slightly over one in four respondents (28.1%) indicated …
Violence Against Incarcerated Women
Victimization is common inside prisons and much remains unknown about the predictors of violence against incarcerated women. A sample of 564 incarcerated women was used to examine the link between in-prison victimization, childhood (physical, sexual, and emotional) harm, and mental illness. Nearly half or more of women reported childhood harm and over one-quarter experienced in-prison victimization. Childhood harm fell into four latent classes an…
Suicidality Among College Students in Spain
Few studies have examined protective factors associated with reduced risk of suicidality among college students. We sought to address gaps in the literature by conducting a cross-sectional survey of 636 college students from a public university in Spain. We assessed substance use, social support, resilience, severity of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts. Twenty percent of students reported low severity and 27% reported high severity suicidal…

Years Later
Islamophobia appears to be growing, becoming a mainstream ideology in the United States. Despite the current spike in anti-Islamic sentiment and fear of the Islamic “other,” these ideas are not new and can be traced back to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Using survey data collected only months after the attacks (N = 422), this study uses an integrated threat framework to examine predictors of public support for increased security in t…

Tipologías basadas en la adhesión a los mitos sobre la violencia de género
Los mitos sobre la violencia de género favorecen la persistencia del maltrato al actuar como elementos justificativos de las agresiones. El presente trabajo contribuye a la escasa evidencia acumulada al emplear un análisis de clases latentes (ACL) para estudiar tipologías de personas basadas en la adhesión a diez mitos y creencias sobre la violencia de género y examinar las características que definen a cada una de las clases. Para ello, se contó…
I say, they say
In this study, we examine the effect of providing examples in the responses to a question about multitasking. Respondents were randomly assigned to one of the three experimental conditions: the first group received one set of examples (watching TV or watching kids), the second group received a different set of examples (walking or talking with someone else), and a final group received no examples. The experiment was embedded in a state-wide dual-…
The sins of the child
Previous research indicates that people ascribe less responsibility to juvenile offenders than adult offenders for the crimes they have committed. Although assignment of responsibility to parents varies depending upon the youth’s age, we know little about the role of other factors. The current study used randomized factorial vignettes to examine whether the seriousness of the offense, peer involvement, and the offender's race, age, sex, and prior…

The Impact of Confidentiality Assurances on Participants’ Responses to Sensitive Questions
Privacy, anonymity, and confidentiality are issues often addressed when collecting sensitive information (Tourangeau, 2017). Despite the importance of the concept, there is no consensus on what constitutes a sensitive question (Tourangeau, Rips, & Rasinski, 2000). According to Tourangeau and Yan (2007), a question is considered sensitive when it asks for a socially undesirable answer, requesting that the respondent admits that he or she has viola…
