Violent behaviors against women can be learned, among other forms, through rules. The present study evaluated the level of agreement with descriptive rules related to gender conceptions and violence against women in a sample of 49 social work and public safety professionals divided in two groups: with and without training on domestic violence. Questionnaires were applied, in which the participant evaluated their level of agreement regarding 35 statements. The "training" variable showed significant differences only in category 12, regarding the relationship between the professional and the victim, in which the group with training presented less agreement and greater disagreement. Training can change gender conceptions, but further investigations are necessary since this change occurred only in the category related to professional performance. One limitation of the study was not to evaluate other variables such as training type and instruction level.

Palabras clave : violence against women; gender conceptions; descriptive rules; professional training; behavior analysis.
