Factors Affecting Conjugal Violence

Abstract

This study presents information on 30 couples involved in marital violence within a sample of 60 couples who were seeking psychiatric assistance for marital conflict. Both univariate and multivariate analyses were used in data analysis. Key variables identifying battered wives were frequent alcohol use by their husbands, frequent marital arguments, a low educational level, and frequent legal drug use. Abusing husbands were characterized by backgrounds of family violence, frequent alcohol use, a low education level, and frequent marital arguments.

Social Disadvantage and Family Violence: Neighborhood Effects on Attitudes about Intimate Partner Violence and Corporal Punishment

“…However, Kantor et al (1994) found that race did not significantly predict intimate partner violence when other factors were controlled. Regarding income and education, Coleman et al (1980) and McKenry et al (1995) found a significant negative correlation between family income and intimate partner violence. Chase et al (2003) recruited 103 couples from four addiction treatment facilities and found that individuals who engaged in partner violence, compared to nonviolent counterparts, reported less education.…”

Connections between moral psychology and intimate partner violence: Can IPV be read through moral psychology?

“…These circumstances have been shown to be consistent risk factors for the use of violence toward a female partner (Coleman, Weinman, & Hsi, 1980;Fitch & Papantonio, 1983;Sugarman & Hotaling, 1989;Telch & Lindquist, 1984). However, the effect sizes for these associations seem to be weak (Foran & O'Leary, 2008;MacEwen & Barling, 1988;Stith et al, 2000).…”
