Zusammenfassung
Im therapeutischen Kontakt mit Sexualstraftätern lassen sich neben feindseligen Einstellungen auch Schilderungen, die durch eine Art ritterlicher Vorstellungen, Aussagen oder Verhaltensweisen gegenüber Frauen gekennzeichnet sind, beobachten. Der vorliegende Beitrag nähert sich dem geschilderten Phänomen auf Grundlage der sozialpsychologischen Theorie des ambivalenten Sexismus. Die Bedeutung und mögliche Konsequenzen benevolent (wohlmeinender) sexistischer Einstellungen für die therapeutische Arbeit mit Sexualstraftätern werden diskutiert sowie Implikationen für weitere Forschung vorgestellt.
Abstract
Within the therapeutic setting with sexual offenders descriptions characterized by certain kinds of chivalrous ideas, statements or behavior toward women can be observed in addition to hostile attitudes. The present contribution approaches the phenomenon based on the social psychological theory of ambivalent sexism. The relevance and potential consequences of benevolent sexist attitudes for the therapeutic work with sexual offenders are discussed and implications for further research will be presented.
