Non-white battered women, and victims in mixed-race relationships, may encounter more negative attitudes than their white or same-race counterparts. Attitudes toward battered wives, as related to the race of the victim and the racial mix of the couple, were examined in the present study. It was predicted that participants (a) would view the black victim differently than the white victim, and (b) would view the victim in an interracial couple differently than the victim in a same race couple. In addition, it was predicted that (c) participants who had been victims of domestic violence would have more positive attitudes toward the victim, and (d) participants would have more negative attitudes toward victims of their own race. Two hundred and ninety-four participants read domestic violence scenarios and viewed obscured photographs in which the race of the victim and the racial mix of the couple were varied. After reading the scenario, each participant completed the Adjective Check List describing traits of the victim. Participants also completed the Revised Conflict Tactics Scale to provide information regarding domestic violence experience. The majority of participants had never been victims or perpetrators of domestic violence at any point in their lives. There were significant associations between lifetime and current domestic violence experience and participant race and education. The data failed to provide support for the hypotheses. Men saw victims significantly more negatively than women, and participants saw victims of their own race less negatively than victims of the other race. Results are discussed in relationship to previous studies examining attitudes toward victims, experience with domestic violence, and racial issues. Implications and recommendations for future research are presented.
