- Abstract
- This study reflects on the concept of debias, a technique developed to reduce biased interpretations, and its effectiveness with regard to severity assessments concerning intimate partner violence. Specifically, the method aims to estimate the effects of debiasing on different forms of communication bias. Narratives describing physical and psychological violence were thus presented in a survey format (N = 118) which included two groups; one group where all received debias information, and a control group. The methodology was designed to compare differences between assessments of the two types of violence, as well as the difference between assessments narrated by men and those narrated by women. The results indicate that the debias... (More)

- Studien reflekterar över konceptet debias, en teknik som avser att reducera påverkan av bias, och dess effektivitet med hänsyn till allvarlighetsskattningar av narrativ innehållande våld i nära relationer. Specifikt undersökte metoden debias påverkan på olika former av
kommunikationsbias. Narrativ som beskriver både fysiskt och psykiskt våld presenterades i en enkät (N = 118) som innehöll två grupper; en grupp som fick ta del av debias-information, samt en kontrollgrupp. Metodologin ämnade undersöka skillnader mellan de två typerna av våld, samt skillnader i allvarlighetsskattning mellan narrativ skrivna av män jämfört med narrativ skrivna av kvinnor. Resultaten indikerar att debias-informationen signifikant påverkade experimentgruppens...
