Elder Abuse: Education for Persons with Experienced ViolenceReinberg, Julie A. (Julie Ann) 08 1900 (has links)
The rationale for this study was based on the application of the cycle of domestic violence theory to elder abuse. It examined the effect of history of experienced childhood violence on tolerance, behavioral intentions, and past behaviors of elder abuse toward general and specific elderly targets. The effectiveness of educational interventions for altering tolerance and behavioral intentions of elder abuse was examined. Two hundred and twenty-five undergraduates were assessed for aging knowledge, general aging attitudes, aging anxiety, elder abuse attitudes, and elder abuse intentions and past behaviors. Participants were assigned to a High or Low Experienced Violence group and participated in an educational group or control group. Posttest and one-month followup measures were obtained.
No differences were found at pretest between High and Low Violence. Level of Violence did not impact intervention efficacy. Elder abuse education altered attitudes, intentions, and behaviors of elder abuse at posttest significantly more than did aging education or control groups (p < .001), but these effects were no longer significant at followup.
Elder abuse attitudes had higher relationships with elder abuse intentions and reported past behaviors than did global aging attitudes or aging anxiety (p < .05). General elderly targets yielded more tolerance, intentions, and reported past behaviors of elder abuse than did specific elderly targets (p < .001).
Experienced childhood abuse was unrelated to elder abuse expression yielding no support for the role of cycle of violence in elder abuse. Specificity of target mediated elder abuse attitudes, intentions, and behaviors. Primary prevention interventions which aim to reduce tolerance and intentions of elder abuse should include specific information on elder abuse; aging education is ineffective for this goal.

WHEN DOES CHILDHOOD EXPOSURE TO VIOLENCE LEAD TO VIOLENT BEHAVIOR IN YOUNG ADULTS?Masilla, Audrey Grace 01 May 2010 (has links)
This study examined the relationship of childhood exposure to violence and adult aggressive behavior. Researchers have studied this relationship and consequences resulting from high violence exposure, but have not examined protective factors that may reduce negative consequences. Likewise, no one had examined the possible protective factors of self-monitoring, concern for appropriateness, and social support. A total of 1,307 college students completed an online survey assessing childhood exposure to violence, adult aggression, social support, and self-monitoring. Despite the lack of significance for the mediation model, social support, concern for appropriateness, and self-monitoring were all significant moderators in the relationship of exposure to violence and adult aggression. Together, childhood exposure to violence, social support, and concern for appropriateness accounted for 33% of the variance in adult aggression. These findings suggest that less childhood exposure to violence, lower concern for appropriateness, and more social support decrease the risk of aggression in college students.

[pt] A VIOLÊNCIA ENTRE PARCEIROS ÍNTIMOS: O DIFÍCIL PROCESSO DE RUPTURA / [en] VIOLENCE AGAINST INTIMATE PARTNER: THE DIFFICULT PROCESS OF RUPTUREMARIA CECILIA GONCALVES MOREIRA 29 June 2006 (has links)
[pt] Realizamos o presente estudo em uma ONG que trabalha com
mulheres vítimas
de violência domestica, localizada no município de Duque
de Caxias, o
CDVida-Centro de Defesa da Vida, no período de agosto à
dezembro de 2004. O
nosso objetivo foi identificar na trajetória de vida
dessas mulheres, os motivos que
as levaram a permanecer tanto tempo em situação de
violência, qual o fato que
contribuiu para a quebra do silencio e em que momento elas
decidiram procurar
ajuda. O levantamento nos arquivos da instituição, do
perfil demográfico de 60
mulheres atendidas no primeiro semestre de 2003, nos
revelou o grande número
de mulheres que permaneciam em situação de violência após
longo período de
vida em comum. Partindo desse estudo inicial, escolhemos
entrevistar algumas
mulheres vítimas de violência por parte de seus parceiros
íntimos e que ainda se
encontravam em atendimento pela equipe técnica do CDVida,
objetivando entender
os motivos que levaram a permanecer por tanto tempo
convivendo com seus
parceiros violentos. As informações colhidas nas
entrevistas nos possibilitou conhecermos
a percepção das mulheres em relação a violência sofrida;
as conseqüências
da mesma e as dificuldades enfrentadas para romper com a
relação. A
análise dessas informações nos levou ao entendimento de
que a violência doméstica
entre parceiros íntimos, é revestida de um caráter muito
especial, uma vez que
envolve além de laços de intimidade e afeto, na maioria
dos casos, a presença dos
filhos do casal, que sofrem da mesma maneira que suas
mães, as conseqüências da
violência. Concluímos ainda a partir dessa análise, que
romper com a violência
significa romper com a própria dinâmica do seu ciclo que
aprisiona e paralisa a
mulher. Para romper com esse ciclo, é necessário não só
que a mulher encontre
apoio para a superação de suas dificuldades individuais ,
mas também respostas
institucionais para que possa exercer plenamente seus
direitos enquanto cidadã. / [en] We carried out the present study in an NGO which works
women, who are
victims of violence in the municipality of Duque de
Caxias, the CDVida - Centro
de Defesa da Vida ( Center for Protection of life), from
Aug to Dec 2004. Our aim
was to identify the trajectory of life of these women, the
reasons which led them
to stay so long in situation of violence, the fact which
contributed to breaking the
silence, and in which moment they decided to look for
help.The data found in the
institution files, of a demographic profile of 60 women,
trated in the first semester
of 2003, revealed the great number of women who remained
in situation of violence,
after long living together. Starting from this initial
study, we chose to interview
some women, victimized by their intimate partners, and who
were still under
treatment by the technical team of CDVida, aiming at
understanding the reasons
for remaining so long, living with their violent partners.
The information colleded
from interviews made it possible to know the perception of
the women in relation
to the violence suffered: the consequences of this, and
the hardships found in
breaking up the relationship.The analysis of this
information led us to understand
that domestic violence between intimate partners is
characterized in a very special
manner, since it involves, besides the ties of intimacy
and affection, in most cases,
the presence of children of the couple, who suffer in the
same way as their mothers,
the consequences of violence. Furthermore, we concluded,
from this analysis,
that ending with violence means ending with the own
dynamics of its cycle, which
controls and paralyses the woman. To end up this cycle, it
is necessary that the
woman is not only supported to overcome her individual
difficulties, but also find
institutional answers in order to carry out thoroughly her
rights as citizens.

"Jag förstod aldrig varför man slår ett barn" : - En narrativ studie om sju individers berättelser om våldsutsatthet i barndomen och deras senare våldsutövningBäckström, Linn, Sonnesjö, Mathilda January 2019 (has links)
The aim of this study was to analyze narratives of violence and explore how this relates to one's own violence. By means of the theory of differential associations and social learning theory, the development of violent behavior was understood and interpreted. Through a hermeneutic approach, seven life stories from the Stockholm Life-Course Project, were interpreted, where child maltreatment and own use of violence had occurred. The main results showed that the individuals experienced that the childhood had characterized their lives and that they developed a behavior of violence. The violence has been interpreted for strategic purposes but also of pure instinct. The results were problematized with the previous research. The study's conclusion is that exposure to child maltreatment constitutes a risk factor for developing violent behavior. However, the relationship is complex and no causal statements can be made based on our research method and our sample. / Vårt syfte med denna studie var att med utgångspunkt från narrativ analysmetod analysera berättelser om våldsutsatthet och dess relation till egen våldsutövning. Teorin om differentiella associationer och social inlärningsteori användes för att skapa förståelse för utvecklingen av ett våldsamt beteende. Med ett hermeneutiskt angreppssätt tolkades sju intervjuer från The Stockholm Life-Course Project. Studiens främsta resultat visade att individerna upplevt att barndomen präglat deras liv och att de anammat ett våldsbeteende. När de själva utövat våld beskrivs detta ha utförts strategiskt och målinriktat, men även instinktivt då våldet utförts på ren impuls. Tidigare forskning bidrog till att problematisera resultatet i förhållande till berättelser som strider mot ovanstående narrativ och de teoretiska resonemangen. Studiens slutsats är att utsatthet för våld under barndomen utgör en riskfaktor för att utveckla ett våldsamt beteende. Relationen är dock komplex och inga kausala uttalanden kan göras baserat på vår forskningsmetod och vårt urval.

Gender Inequality in the Law: Deficiencies of Battered Woman Syndrome and a New Solution to Closing the Gender Gap in Self-Defense LawDoyle, Meredith C. 01 January 2011 (has links)
Dr. Lenore Walker developed battered woman syndrome to address the issue of domestic violence and to give battered women a defense in situations in which they kill their abusive partners when they are not overtly threatening them. Self-defense law is based on male on male combat. Women are less able to protect themselves in an attack by a man, and so they may preemptively attack their sleeping partners to avoid a situation in which they cannot adequately protect themselves. Battered woman syndrome explains why these battered women act in a way that is irrational to a non-battered person. Walker's theory of learned helplessness explains why the woman does not leave the abusive relationship, and the cycle of violence theory explains why she perceives an imminent threat. Battered woman syndrome is problematic in its legal application because of problems with its scientific validity and reliability. It also furthers gender stereotypes and blurs the line between a justification and an excuse defense. While, Dr. Walker's intentions were good, battered woman syndrome is inadequate. Women's difference from men still have to be acknowledged in cases in which battered women kill their husband's, but social agency framework is a more effective way to acknowledge gender differences. This framework takes into account social circumstances that would explain a woman's actions rather than including pathology. This would explain why the woman did not leave an abusive relationship. To avoid the pathology of BWS while explaining why the woman felt an imminent threat, the defense can turn to a pattern of abuse that helps her reasonably recognize when violence is likely.

Dating Violence Attitudes, Experiences and Perceptions of Women in College: An Indian ContextSom, Anurag 10 November 2006 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to understand the attitudes, perceptions and experiences of college women in modern India with regard to intimate partner violence, specifically dating violence. Surveys were collected from 489 undergraduate female participants. Only 99 participants (20%) were or had been in a dating relationship. The participants in this study self reported both perpetrating and receiving violence in these relationships. A significant positive relationship was found between dating violence perpetration and victimization and four risk factors: witnessing and experiencing abuse in one's family of origin, attitudes justifying wife beating, and problem behaviors associated with alcohol use. A significant negative relationship was found between anger management skills and the perpetration and victimization of violence in dating relationships. Finally, even though the rate of dating and alcohol use is low in India, the problem behaviors associated with these phenomena are very similar to those identified in the United States.
Although much is known about domestic violence and wife assault in the Indian context, there is almost no information or effort in the direction of prevention and education in the realm of dating violence. While India is advancing technologically, creating new opportunities for its youth, there is no simultaneous effort being made to protect its youth from risks of urbanization and cultural shifts. The young adults of India today are joining the global economy. However, there is no system put in place to educate and nurture their social and cultural evolution. Findings from this study suggest that as the youth open themselves up to the culture of dating and premarital courtship, there needs to be a parallel effort made to educate and train them about healthy relationships. / Master of Science
