Women's Opinions on Emotional Violence in Intimate Relationships and Methods of Coping

“…It is seen that the perceptions of being insulted, ignoring, suppression, offending, humiliation and shouting about the categories obtained from women's views on emotional violence overlap with behaviors involving emotional violence in the literature (Doyle 2020;Domenech Del Rio & Sirvent Garcia Del Valle, 2017;Eskici & Saatçioğlu Tınkır, 2019;Follingstad and Edmundson, 2010;Pérez-Marco et al, 2020;Tenkorang et al, 2017). In a study on experiences of intimate partner violence, women reported that they were exposed to humiliation, humiliation, restriction of communication with family and friends, threats of physical harm, being banned from leaving the house, or being locked up in the house (Doyle, 2020).…”

“…When the literature is examined, it is seen that there are studies (Eskici & Saatçioğlu Tınkır, 2019;Gilbar et al, 2020;Jezl et al, 1996;Khosravi et al, 2011;Lohman et al, 2013;Molina, 2020;Semahegn & Mengistie, 2015) supporting the categories (feelings of inadequacy, desire to dominate, inability to communicate properly, anger control problems, history of domestic violence, physical health problems and socio-cultural differences) obtained from the answers given by women regarding the reasons for emotional violence by their partners in intimate relationships.
