Description du projet
La base neuronale de la violence exercée par un partenaire intime
Dans le monde, une femme sur trois a subi des violences physiques et sexuelles de la part d’un partenaire intime. Comprendre les racines de la violence exercée par un partenaire intime à l’encontre des femmes (IPVAW pour «intimate partner violence against women») pourrait aider à la prévenir et à la contrer. Les attitudes à l’égard de cette violence influencent considérablement les comportements et les réactions de la société, contribuant ainsi au risque qu’elle se produise. Cependant, la manière dont ces attitudes se manifestent au niveau neuronal et dont elles façonnent les expériences et les comportements quotidiens n’est pas encore établie. Soutenu par le programme Actions Marie Skłodowska-Curie (MSCA), le projet NEURO-IPVAW cherche à expliquer la base neuronale des attitudes envers l’IPVAW et à créer un modèle prédictif en adoptant une approche neuroscientifique innovante. L’imagerie cérébrale et l’échantillonnage des expériences de la vie quotidienne seront utilisés pour élaborer une nouvelle théorie et un nouveau modèle, afin de soutenir les efforts de prévention et l’égalité de genre.
Objectif
One in three women worldwide has been subjected to either physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence in their lifetime. By understanding what the roots of intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) are, and how it manifests as a pattern of behaviour, we might be able to prevent and counteract this violence. Attitudes toward IPVAW significantly shape interpersonal behaviours and societal reactions, acting as a factor that contributes to the risk of committing violence. Yet, despite first research, it remains unclear how these attitudes are instantiated on a neuronal level, and how they shape our daily emotional experience and behaviour. The overall goal of the research program NEURO-IPVAW is to provide an explanatory theory of the neural underpinnings mediating attitudes towards IPVAW and a predictive quantitative model capturing this theory. Towards this goal, NEURO-IPVAW will introduce an innovative neuroscientific approach. First, NEURO-IPVAW will reveal the neural foundations underlying IPVAW attitudes in relation to emotional processing in the mature brain. Second, it will unravel the link between the neural foundation and daily-life experience. For maximal efficiency and power in unified theory formation and model building, NEURO-IPVAW will employ an integrated, interdisciplinary research strategy that combines a) large-scale non-invasive brain imaging to capture neural underpinnings of IPVAW attitudes, b) experience sampling assessing daily-life experience in an ecologically valid setting, c) advanced computational modelling using representational similarity analysis to build a predictive, quantitative model of daily-life emotional experience and behaviour. Through this orchestrated effort NEURO-IPVAW will provide the empirical pieces of evidence for a new theory and model of the neural basis mediating IPVAW attitudes, thereby enhancing IPVAW prevention efforts, challenging our societal norms, and contributing to the progression of gender equality.
