Benevolent sexism is a sex role attitude where women accept their traditional status as a wife and mother in order to receive men\u2019s protection and provision. A social perception study was conducted. The subjects were 210 undergraduate psychology students at the Universidad de Granada, they read a vignette where a husband and wife argued over her job promotion. Women\u2019s benevolent sexism confirmed the hypothesis that they perceived the husband to feel more threatened by his wife\u2019s success and thus would be more likely to be violent towards her. When provided with background information on the husband\u2019s ideology (traditional, egalitarian, no information) this had no significance. Other data produced \u00a0was the scores for ASI (Ambivalent Sexism Inventory) \u00a0used to measure hostile sexism and benevolent sexism. Thus women who scored higher on benevolent sexism (compared to those who scored low on benevolent sexism) perceived aggression even when the man was egalitarian. The method of data analysis used is, \u201cmultiple regression analysis to assess participants\u2019 perceived probability that the husband was threatened as a function of women\u2019s benevolent and hostile sexism scores and the husband\u2019s ideology.\u201d In conclusion, the findings supports the hypothesis that women who endorse benevolent sexism are in psychological conflict where they abide by traditional norms and are threatened if they challenge the status quo; however, they have a desire for intimacy with their partner. The data produced is valid because it further confirms past research where men who are gender traditional are more likely to be aggressive towards women. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Herrera, M.
