摘要

Purpose

This study explored married men’s justifications for intimate partner violence in an urban setting, addressing the gap in research that primarily focuses on women’s experiences.

Methods

Using a qualitative, exploratory design, in-depth interviews were conducted with 12 purposively selected married men. A gender norm scale was adapted, transforming its items into open-ended questions with probes to elicit detailed justifications for men’s use of violence against their partners.

Findings

Content analysis showed that men in the study, while not justifying violence for issues like poor cooking or neglecting household chores, still held traditional views on respecting elders and female fidelity. This suggests a potential change in attitudes towards IPV in urban settings, which brings into questions how well the current gender norm scale applies to the shifting context.

Conclusion

The study concludes that existing gender norm scales may have limited applicability in capturing evolving male attitudes toward intimate partner violence in urban environments, highlighting the need for revised measurement tools that reflect contemporary realities.
