This work aimed to identify the relationship between values, women dehumanization and attitudes toward violence against women. Specifically, it aimed to adapt the Attitudes Toward Spousal Violence Scale (ASVS), Attitudes Toward Sexual Violence against Women Scale (ASVWS), and to check if attitudes vary according to the values of the victims. Two studies were conducted. In Study 1, in addition to the validation of the measures, it tested the relationship between the mentioned constructs. This study was divided into two parts: psychometric properties of the instruments and the relationship between the constructs. Exploratory analysis of the measures was performed with 200 people from the general population with a mean age of 24.8 years (SD = 7.55) who responded to ASVS and ASVWS and demographic questions. The Principal Components Analysis, without rotation, indicated a one factor structure for each instrument, with alphas of 0.76 (ASVS) and 0.78 (ASVWS). Subsequently, the confirmatory analysis was conducted with a sample of 322 university students, with a mean age of 23.0 years (SD = 2.88), demonstrating that the one factor structure of ASVS (e. g, GFI = 0.99; RMSEA = 0.01) and ASVWS (e. g, GFI = 0.84; RMSEA = 0.11) is acceptable. The next step was to teste the relationship between variables with two different samples, which differed according to the implicit measure. To investigate the relationship between the attitudes, values and women animalization, 120 people participated of the general population, with a mean age of 24.7 years (SD = 6.62) who answered the two scales of attitudes mentioned, the Basic Values Questionnaire (QVB), the Implicit Association Test (IAT) Human-Animals and demographic questions. No relationship was observed between the women animalization and attitudes. In order to verify the relationship between the attitudes, values and the objectification of women, 95 respondents participated with an average age of 23.3 years (SD = 4.65). They answered the mentioned instruments and the Human-Objects TAI. There was no association between the objectification of women and attitudes. Regarding to values, it was found that the normative and promotion are related to support attitudes to domestic and sexual violence. In Study 2, it was explored the relationship between the values of the victim and attitudes. 322 college students participated, with mean age of 23.02 years (SD = 2.88) than after reading woman aggression scenes, responded in addition to the above measures, questions relating to the situation of violence described in the scenario and the Aggression Questionnaire. The results showed that when the woman prioritizes promotion values, the people tend to blame the victim for the violence than when the women were described endorsing existence. Additionally, it was constructed an explanatory model of attitudes, taking the values and the aggressive trait of respondents. Thus, this dissertation contributed to the literature in the area providing two brief measures of assessment of attitudes towards violence against women and increasing the understanding on this issue.
