“…Using a sample from urban Thailand, Kerley, Xu, Sirsunyaluck, and Alley (2010) showed that being exposed to family violence during childhood increased the risk of perpetrating IPV during adulthood. Similar results have been observed in previous studies in the Philippines (Fehringer & Hindin, 2009), with Chinese immigrant batterers (Jin, Eagle, & Yoshioka, 2007), and in India (Koenig, Stephenson, Ahmed, Jejeebhoy, & Campbell, 2006). Child maltreatment was a strong predictor of dating violence among South Korean college students (Gover, Park, Tomsich, & Jennings, 2011).…”

The concept of intergenerational transmission of intimate partner violence (IPV) has been an important topic of research. Experts have contended that this brutal path in which violence is transmitted to subsequent generations may be avoidable. This study examined whether public perceptions of the legal regulation of IPV and the certainty of sanction deter the prevalence of IPV. Data from 3,800 households were obtained from a nationwide survey conducted in South Korea. Due to a skewed distribution of the prevalence of IPV, this study applied a zero-inflated Poisson (ZIP) model, which has been shown to address issues of skewed count variables. In addition, use of a ZIP model allowed us to examine factors associated with the occurrence and frequency of IPV. Results showed that child abuse experience and perceptions of the law were associated with the occurrence of IPV. Individuals who experienced child abuse were more likely to perpetrate IPV, whereas those aware of the law were less likely to perpetrate IPV. Witnessing IPV between parents was associated with an increased frequency of IPV. Results suggest that by increasing awareness of laws against domestic violence, IPV may be reduced or prevented.

“…Jin et al (2007) found that while childhood emotional abuse in the batterer group was significantly correlated with approval of marital violence, it was not in the comparison group. Instead, in their nonviolent comparison group, it was significantly correlated with depression and marital dissatisfaction.…”

“…Several studies have examined risk factors for marital violence in Asian American families (e.g., Bui & Morash, 1999;Jin, Eagle, & Yoshioka, 2007;Kim & Sung, 2000;Kim & Zane, 2004). These studies have found evidence for such risk factors as stress, husbands' patriarchal beliefs, early exposure to violence in combination with positive attitudes about marital violence, and insecure attachment.…”

This study examined differences in reporting hostile attributional bias (HAB) between court-referred Chinese immigrant batterers and a nonviolent community sample. It measured social desirability (SD) in their reporting of HAB by including an SD measure and a covert indirect measure of HAB. Further, it explored the relationship between HAB and childhood exposure to violence. The batterers scored lower on the overt measure but higher on the covert measure of HAB. Their scores on the overt measure were negatively correlated with their SD scores. Childhood exposure to violence was positively correlated with HAB among the batterers but not among the nonviolent men. The role of HAB in intimate partner violence needs more research, and future studies and batterer interventions need to consider SD in assessing and addressing HAB.

“…In meta-analyses, experiencing corporal punishment in childhood has been associated with adult aggression and spousal abuse [25]. Among Chinese immigrant men in the U.S., attitudes about IPV have mediated the relationship of physical violence in childhood and prior-year perpetration of IPV [26]. Among women in Nigeria, tolerance for IPV has mediated the relationship of witnessing violence in childhood and experiencing IPV [27].…”

Purpose We assess the association of men's exposure to violence in childhood--witnessing physical violence against one’s mother and being hit or beaten by a parent or adult relative--with their attitudes about intimate partner violence (IPV) against women. We explore whether men’s perpetration of IPV mediates this relationship and whether men’s attitudes about IPV mediate any relationship of exposure to violence in childhood with perpetration of IPV. Methods 522 married men 18–51 years in Vietnam were interviewed. Multivariate regressions for ordinal and binary responses were estimated to assess these relationships. Results Compared to men experiencing neither form of violence in childhood, men experiencing either or both had higher adjusted odds of reporting more reasons to hit a wife (aORs, 95%CIs: 1.43, 1.03–2.00 and 1.66, 1.05–2.64, respectively). Men’s lifetime perpetration of IPV accounted fully for these associations. Compared to men experiencing neither form of violence in childhood, men experiencing either or both had higher adjusted odds of ever perpetrating IPV (aORs, 95%CIs: 3.28, 2.15–4.99 and 4.56, 2.90–7.17, respectively). Attitudes about IPV modestly attenuated these associations. Conclusion Addressing violence in childhood is needed to change men’s risk of perpetrating IPV and greater subsequent justification of it.
