Among 456 Spaniards, this study aimed to explore the association between mental health, ambivalent sexism and violence among opposite-sex and same-sex couples. Results showed that participants in abusive relationships presented higher levels of ambivalent and hostile sexism, regardless of partner’s sex. Psychological violence was associated with ambivalent and hostile sexism. Moderate physical violence was linked to hostile sexism. Participants in abusive relationships reported poorer mental health indexes. These findings highlight the need of interventions to focus on dimensions as sexism towards women, even when considering same-sex couples.engjournal article2398-6816https://bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/view/journals/jgbv/8/2/article-p179.xmlmetadata only access305Opposite-sex couplesIntimate partner violenceSame-sex couplesAmbivalent sexismMental healthCiencias SocialesFeminismo61 Psicología
