Blame, depression and coping in battered womenPorter, Carol Anne January 1983 (has links)
The focus of this study was the interrelation among the causal attributions, affective reactions, and coping effectiveness of battered women. Fifty female residents of a shelter for battered women were interviewed in depth, and shelter counselors rated each woman on a measure of coping effectiveness. Consistent with predictions, both attributions and emotional state were related to coping. The major deviation from the hypothesized relationship, however, was the finding that self-blame attributions were not related to effective coping while another measure, women's perceptions of the degree of contingency between aspects of themselves and their partners' abusive behavior, was highly related to successful adjustment. As predicted, positive emotional state correlated with effective coping.
The hypothesized relation between attributions of blame and affective state was not supported. While subjects' perceptions of avoidability were not related to coping as predicted, it was found that both perceived contingency and a decision not to return to the abusive situation were positively correlated with perceptions of the abuse as unavoidable.
Finally, several variables distinguished the group of women who returned from those who did not. Those who returned were characterized by negative affect, a tendency to blame their partners, previous departures from the abusive situation, shorter durations of violence than those who did not return, and
were more likely to perceive the abuse as avoidable.
The concept of perceived contingency and in particular the difference between this measure and self-blame, is discussed at length because it has implications for both theoretical and applied concerns. The absence of a relation between attributions and affect is also discussed in some detail since an attribution-affect link has received strong support in other psychological research. Problems associated with the definition and measurement of coping are discussed, and finally, the implications of the findings for both attribution theory and research and practice in the area of domestic violence are presented. / Arts, Faculty of / Psychology, Department of / Graduate

Women's perceptions of their children's experiences in domestic violenceWood, Barbara L. 06 May 1999 (has links)
Ten female survivors of physically assaultive domestic violence were
interviewed three times each in a feminist, qualitative study designed to access
their perceptions about their children's experiences in domestic violence. All
participants had children living with them at the time of the abuse and were one
to five years out of the abuse.
All women stated their children had been exposed to domestic violence.
Women described their children's involvement in the following areas: legal
(visitation, custody, child support); indirect involvement (witnessing effects of
abuse) and direct involvement (feeling responsible, protecting parents); and
direct child maltreatment. Child maltreatment rates measured by homes were:
physical (50%); sexual (20%); emotional (90%); and neglect (70%).
No patterns were present regarding child involvement. That is,
children's involvement did not progress in a clear pattern from indirect to direct.
While all women protected their children in the relationship, four turning
points were identified in a continuum of women's protective actions: child
witnessed abuse to mom; mom saw signs in child; emotional abuse to the child;
and physical or sexual abuse to the child. Turning points were the points at
which the women recognized they could no longer protect their children within
the context of the violent relationship. Unmarried women reached their turning
point earlier while women whose church involvement dictated strict obedience
to spouse and those who experienced the most severe physical abuse reached
their turning points later. Turning points often corresponded with leaving the
relationship and were related to both social context and individual variables.
Perceptions of motherhood in domestic violence were also studied.
Women cited their children as important influences in staying with, returning to,
and leaving abusive partners. Women stayed in relationships because of
socially conditioned beliefs about children needing fathers, beliefs about
marriage and family, and perceptions of children's bonds with their fathers.
Finally, women's perceptions of motherhood fell into four categories:
protection of their children; conflict between roles as wife and mother; concern
about meeting their children's needs; and guilt about mothering. The two
women who prioritized the needs of their children over their abusive partners
were spared some guilt. / Graduation date: 1999
