Social Gender Norms Changing the Face - A Social Psychological Analysis of Violence Against Women in the Context of Digital, Ecological, and Cognitive Distortions

This study aims to analyze violence against women from a socio-psychological perspective at the intersection of digitalization, ecological crises, and cognitive processes. The transformation of gender norms in the modern world does not lead to the elimination of violence, but rather to its reproduction in new, masked forms. Within the scope of the article, the anonymity and depersonalization of digital platforms that fuel aggression, the triggering role of environmental stress caused by climate change and resource scarcity on violence, and the processes by which cognitive distortions (moral distancing, victim blaming, etc.) legitimize violence are examined within a theoretical framework. Analyses conducted in light of social identity and social role theories reveal how violence, as a structural phenomenon, gains continuity. In conclusion, it is emphasized that combating violence is possible not only through legal sanctions but also through multi-layered policies that include digital literacy, ecological awareness, and cognitive intervention programs.
