A Qualitative Assessment of Intimate Partner Violence: Responding to Scenarios of Physical and Verbal IPV
More than 32 million Americans have been affected by intimate partner violence in their lifetime. Since few studies have examined IPV qualitatively, the present study addresses this gap in the literature by focusing on how people respond to common scenarios of physical and verbal abuse.
A Qualitative Study of Intimate Partner Violence: Responding to Emotional, Sexual, and Proprietary Abuse
While physical and verbal abuse are commonly observed forms of intimate partner violence (IPV), emotional, sexual, and proprietary abuse are less likely to be reported. The present study examined how people would respond to common scenarios of psychological abuse, sexual abuse, and proprietary control (i.e., claiming ownership or entitlement).
The Impact of Changing Gender Roles on Intimate Partner Violence
Previous literature indicates that women, young adults and those less educated are at higher risk for intimate partner violence (IPV). The present study examines the impact of gender, age, and education on exposure to IPV.
Stakeholders Fight Against IPV
Although many programs and organizations in various communities have focused on targeting intimate partner violence (IPV), these efforts have not eradicated the problem. A focus group study was conducted among IPV program directors and counselors to explore intervention and prevention strategies used for different types of IPV. In addition, theses experts were asked to examine results from an online survey of 129 community members’ responses to various scenarios of IPV.
Moving Away from Traditional Relational Values: The Role of Culture, Age, and Education on Attitudes Toward Intimate Partner Violence Among Non-Latinos and Latinos
Traditional Latino patriarchal values such as marianisma, which emphasizes the value of women being subservient to their partners, and machismo, which supports a spouse’s right to control his partner, contribute to an acceptance of males dominating their female partners. Those who maintain these traditional cultural values may find it difficult to identify situation of intimate partner violence (IPV). . However, those who are more educated and of a younger generation may develop a different definition for what constitutes a healthy functional relationship.
Re-evaluating Relational Conflict Through Creative Expression
College students experience a considerable amount of stress, not only with managing their schoolwork and responsibilities, but also within their intimate partner relationships. This study was a multifaceted qualitative investigation of how creative activities affect college students’ ability to cope with relational conflict and stress.
