Abstract
The present study tested the causal effects of perceived peer norms regarding the prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) on individuals’ self-reported IPV propensity. Results showed that inducing normative perception of high (versus low) IPV prevalence increased self-reported IPV propensity, particularly among individuals high in social dominance orientation.
