Sažetak
Internalised misogyny is a form of internalised sexism that
refers to devaluing women, distrusting women, and valuing
men over women. It occurs when women adopt sexist
messages heard throughout their lives and direct them
towards other women. The aim of this research was to
examine the role of individual characteristics and environmental
influences in explaining internalised misogyny. 530
women between 18 and 90 participated in the study. The
sample was representative of the population of adult women
in Croatia. The results showed that internalised misogyny has
a low positive correlation with age, right-wing political
orientation, religiosity, discrimination in the family and
experienced gender microaggressions, and a somewhat higher correlation with right-wing authoritarianism. Low
negative correlations with education, self-esteem and level of
mastery were also obtained. Contrary to expectations, the
size of the settlement and conservatism were not related to
internalised misogyny. In the regression model, right-wing
political orientation, higher level of right-wing authoritarianism,
lower self-esteem, lower level of mastery and more
frequent experience of gender microaggressions were
significant predictors of internalised misogyny. The relationship
between experienced gender microaggressions and
internalised misogyny did not depend on the level of self-
-esteem.
