Religion, Religious Heterogeneity, and Intimate Partner Violence Among Korean Immigrant Women

Abstract

This study examined the role of religious affiliations and frequency of religious service attendance-such as church, Bible studies, and temples-as well as religious heterogeneity between couples on intimate partner violence (IPV) among Korean immigrant women in the United States. Through a case-control design, this study compared 64 Korean immigrant IPV victims with 63 Korean immigrant non-IPV victims. This study's findings reveal that for Korean immigrant women, a high frequency of religious service attendance was associated with higher IPV victimization, while their partners' high religious service attendance was associated with lower IPV victimization. When women's partners were religious compared with when they were not religious, they were less likely to perpetrate IPV even when the partners' alcohol consumption frequency increased. Also, when there was a gap between couples regarding frequency of religious attendance, IPV victimization increased. This discussion concludes by suggesting some policy implications based on these findings.

Assessment of Research on Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) Among Sexual Minorities in the United States

“…When IPV was measured as a dependent variable ( n = 21), the samples’ demographic variables were often statistically associated with IPV, followed by victimization history, such as childhood abuse. It was interesting that none of the researchers examined other variables, such as religion, that have been identified by other researchers as risk or protective factors for IPV among heterosexual couples (Ellison, Trinitapoli, Anderson, & Johnson, 2007; Kim, 2018; Kim & Schmuhl, 2018; Lynch & Renzetti, 2017; Perry, 2016; Wilcox & Wolfinger, 2008). According to the 2014 Religious Landscape Study, 59% of individuals who identified as members of the LGB populations reported that they have religious affiliations.…”

Pengaruh religiositas dan sikap peran gender sexism terhadap kecenderungan perilaku kekerasan oleh suami

“…Aprilia & Masyhadi X Penelitian lain oleh Kim (2018) menjelaskan bahwa ketika keyakinan agama dan tingkat religiositas yang dimiliki antar pasangan berbeda, maka terjadinya peningkatan konflik di dalam hubungan tersebut. Hasil penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Kim (2018) mengindikasikan bahwa perbedaan keyakinan agama dan tingkat religiositas antar pasangan berhubungan positif dengan peningkatan kerentanan terhadap tindakan kekerasan pada pasangan.…”

“…Pada penelitian ini, hasil yang ditunjukkan mendukung hasil penelitian sebelumnya, yang menyatakan bahwa religiositas dapat menghambat tindak kekerasan (Ellison & Anderson, 2001;Ellison dkk., 1999), dan justru bertolak belakang dengan penelitian lain yang menjelaskan bahwa religiositas menjadi faktor pendukung kekerasan (Daoud dkk., 2017;Kim, 2018). Temuan studi ini menegaskan bahwa religiositas menjadi faktor utama dalam mengurangi kemungkinan terjadinya kekerasan terhadap pasangan (Ellison & Anderson, 2001) karena dapat membantu seseorang dalam mengelola stres (Kasberger, 2002), serta memberikan kesempatan untuk melakukan strategi yang positif dalam mengatasi stres (Rammohan dkk., 2002).…”

Gençlerde maneviyat ve şiddet eğilimi arasındaki ilişkide erken dönem uyum bozucu şemaların moderatör etkisi

“…Ayrıca Berkel, Vandiver ve Bahner ( 2004) dinin ve maneviyatın şiddet etkilerini incelediklerinde benzer bir sonuç elde etmişlerdir. Yine başka benzer çalışmalarda da şiddet ve maneviyat arasında negatif bir ilişki bulunmuş ve her birisinin diğerinin etkisini azalttığı görülmüştür (Mahoney, Murray-Swank ve Murray-Swank, 2003;Paranjape ve Kaslow, 2010;Salas-Wrigh, Olate, Vaughn ve Tran, 2013;Kim, 2018). Şiddete maruz kalan kadınlarla ilgili yapılan bir çalışmada manevi desteğin ve maneviyatın şiddetin etkilerini azalttığını ve yaşam kalitesini arttırdığı görülmüştür (Gillum, Sullivan ve Bybee, 2006).…”
