    Este estudio analiza las propiedades psicométricas del Inventario de Creencias sobre la violencia de pareja. En concreto, este inventario mide actitudes generales y específicas hacia la violencia contra las mujeres dentro de las relaciones de pareja. En el estudio participan 1169 personas con una edad comprendida entre 18 y 77 años. Los resultados muestran tres factores: a) Justificación de la violencia de género, b) Responsabilidad de la víctima y c) Responsabilidad del maltratador. El análisis factorial confirmatorio mostró índices de ajuste apropiados: CFI = .952, NFI = .942 y RMSEA = .062 (90% CI [.058 - .065]). Además, los resultados muestran validez convergente y divergente con el sexismo ambivalente hacia las mujeres y hacia los hombres. Se discute la utilidad de esta escala en el ámbito de la violencia contra la pareja.

    This study analysed the psychometric properties of the Inventory of Beliefs about Intimate Partner Violence (IBIPV) which is designed to measure general and specific attitudes to violence against women in intimate relationships. The participants were 1169 people aged from 18 to 77 years. We found that the IBIPV has a three-factor structure, the factors identified were: a) Justifying Partner Violence (JPV), b) Victims Responsible for Violence (VRV) and c) Abuser Responsible for Violence (ARV). Multi-group confirmatory factor analysis showed three levels of measurement invariance across gender: configural, metric and scalar invariance. As expected, evidence of the convergent and divergent validity of the inventory was provided by comparisons with the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory (ASI) and Ambivalence toward Men Inventory (AMI). Potential applications of the scale in the field of partner violence are discussed.
