|a The current study investigated ethnicity and gender as factors affecting the perception and acceptance of domestic violence towards men by women in these populations: African-Americans, Caucasians and Hispanics (N=308). Male and female participants completed an online study involving: a) a demographic questionnaire, b) ratings of three different scenarios depicting physical and psychological domestic violence towards men by women and a healthy relationship, c) an adaptation of Foshee, Fothergill, & Stuart’s (1992) Acceptance of Couple Violence and their Attitudes Toward Women Scale, d) and Zung’s (1971) Self-Rating Anxiety Scale. The results showed that women perceived significantly greater psychological domestic violence towards men by women than did men. Significant differences were found between the genders and acceptance of domestic violence towards men in that women were less accepting of domestic violence towards men than men were. Significant correlations were found between: 1) women’s acceptance of domestic violence towards men and women’s perception of physical and psychological domestic violence towards men, and 2) women’s perception of the occurrence of psychological domestic violence towards men and their acceptance of it. Significant correlations were also found for: 1) men’s acceptance of domestic violence towards men and their perception of physical and psychological domestic violence towards men, and 2) men’s perception of the occurrence of physical domestic violence towards men and men’s acceptance of it. Significant differences were also found between Hispanic, African-American and Caucasian men in the perception of psychological violence towards men by women. Significant differences were found in the perception of physical domestic violence towards men by women across Hispanic, African-American and Caucasian women. Significant differences were found between Caucasian and Hispanic women in the perception of psychological domestic violence towards men by women. No significant differences were found in the level of acceptance of domestic violence towards men among men of the three ethnicities. Caucasian women were found to be significantly more accepting of domestic violence towards men than Hispanic and African-American women. There were no significant differences found across gender or ethnicity for gender stereotyping. Additionally, there were no significant differences found in levels of anxiety across the three ethnicities and genders. In conclusion, women, regardless of ethnicity, are more likely than men to perceive that violence has occurred. Further research should be conducted to investigate the reliability and validity of the scenarios used in the study. |
