Pre-analysis plan: Silence Kills! Conformity to Patriarchy Norms and Violence Against Women

This paper examines the role of beliefs, social norms and coordination elements on gender-based violence. We conduct an online survey experiment in Turkey to test our hypotheses on a representative sample of 4,000 respondents in Turkey, a country with the highest female homicide rates among OECD members. We use randomized treatments to see if dynamic information about how others' respond to gender violence can affect or shift individuals' own behavior. We elicit all respondents’ gender-related attitudes and ask about their behavior in a hypothetical scenario of violence where they are hypothetical bystanders.

本研究探讨了信念、社会规范与协调要素对基于性别的暴力（gender-based violence）的作用机制。我们于土耳其开展线上调查实验，以该国4000名受访者组成的代表性样本为基础，对研究假设进行检验——土耳其是经合组织（OECD）成员国中女性凶杀率最高的国家。我们采用随机干预手段，旨在探究他人针对基于性别的暴力的应对动态信息，是否会影响乃至改变个体自身的相关行为。我们征集所有受访者的性别相关态度，并询问他们在自身作为假想旁观者的假设暴力场景中的行为选择。
