The role exercise may play in how survivors of domestic violence feel and view themselvesConcepcion, Rebecca Yahnke 18 March 2004 (has links)
The National Women's Health Information Center reports that domestic
violence is the leading cause of injury to American women and that nearly one-third
of American women have been physically assaulted by their significant other
at some point in their lives. These women often experience depression, low self-esteem,
anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder, and grief (Campbell et al., 1995).
Literature supports the use of physical activity in promoting psychological well-being.
The purpose of this study, then, was to evaluate the influence of physical
activity on how survivors of domestic violence view themselves and their
circumstances. The participants were seven women (18 to 54 years) who had been
in abusive relationships, on average for eleven years, and who had recently left
their partners. The participants were given access to an exercise facility and
participated in one, two, three, or four interviews at one-month intervals. Interview
questions covered abuse history, physical activity levels, self-view, emotional
status, and how exercise may have influenced these factors. Qualitative analysis of 11
participants' responses revealed that exercise gave women the perception of
healing, "getting out of trauma mode," of working towards a future self, "moving
towards the vision of the type of person that I want to be," and freedom. Exercise
improved their self-view by demonstrating to them that they were advancing
beyond their abuse-controlled lives; that they were taking care of themselves.
Women found exercise an effective means of "eliminating nervous energy" that
resulted from being battered women, which in turn improved emotional status.
Results are discussed in terms of the unique benefits derived from physical activity
by these women, how exercise enhanced their recovery, and suggestions made by
participants as to how the benefits of exercise could be fully realized. / Graduation date: 2004

Abused Women Who Kill: Juror Perspectives on Self-Defense TheoriesNikoo, Shahrzad 01 January 2012 (has links)
In self-defense cases of battered women who kill their abusive husbands, defendants have used Battered Woman Syndrome (BWS) expert testimony to help justify their acts of self-defense. However, past research demonstrates that BWS is ineffective in persuading jurors because it pathologizes the defendant rather than rationalizing her behavior. Additionally, BWS highlights passive (i.e., stereotypical) features of a battered woman, and such testimony may not apply to a defendant with active (i.e., atypical) features of a battered women. The current study hypothesized that another type of expert testimony, Social-Agency Framework (SAF), will persuade jurors to render more lenient verdicts, and that the defendant’s passive or active response history will affect verdict decisions. Additionally, a meditational model predicted that the effect of mock jurors’ gender on verdict decisions will be mediated by their attitudes toward battered women. In a 3(expert testimony: BWS vs. SAF vs. control) x 2(response history: passive vs. active) x 2(gender: male vs. female) model, jury-eligible participants (expected N = 510) recruited from the website mTurk answered a survey measuring their attitudes toward battered women, read a mock trial transcript, and rendered a verdict. The results indicated non-significant findings for the effects of expert testimony and response history on verdict outcomes. A full mediation was found, indicating that gender acted as a proxy for jurors’ attitudes, influencing their verdict decisions. This study has strong legal implications that highlight the prevailing effect of attitudes and how those attitudes may override the effects of expert testimony and defendant response history.

The Merits of Reporting Battered Woman Syndrome in South Asian WomenKarran, Annyssa 01 January 2022 (has links)
This paper’s focus on South Asian and Asian-American women in relation to Battered Woman Syndrome (BWS) originates from a limited amount of research on the self-helping behaviors of these women–especially those who have immigrated from the countries of Nepal, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Bhutan–as compared to other cultures (Sripada, 2020). The current literature surrounding BWS identifies lesser reporting on South Asian and Asian-American women with ethnic backgrounds from these regions (Kasturirangan, 2004). A journal by Yoshioka (2005) proposes that we consider the “world view” or intersectionality when considering domestic violence and to which many women are restricted as a result of a lack of access to resources. There are also current iterations of instruments being used that drive the discrepancy in cultural values. This literature review aims to identify those gaps in battered woman syndrome literature by analyzing cultural factors to help account for lowered disclosure rates.
