Los predictores estudiados en esta investigación se centran en el género, las actitudes de rol de género y el nivel educativo. Para analizar estos factores, se seleccionaron 1143 estudiantes de edades comprendidas entre 14 y 25 años que pertenecían a distintos centros de enseñanza de la localidad ambateña, a los cuales se les suministró un cuestionario para medir las creencias relacionadas con la violencia de género, la violencia percibida en los últimos meses, y la opinión sobre las causas y sugerencias ante la violencia. Los resultados indicaron que tanto las personas de género masculino, como el alumnado de bachillerato, presentan actitudes y creencias menos críticas hacia esta forma de violencia, a la vez que discrepan sobre los motivos y soluciones ante este problema. Palabras Clave: violencia de género, jóvenes, actitudes, personalidad. ABSTRACT: The predictors studied in this research are focused in gender, gender roles attitudes and educational level.
