Abstract

Intimate partner violence (IPV) against women is an essential social and health problem worldwide and attitudes toward IPV are one of the important factors related to this issue. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to examine the effect of factors including social activities involvement, religiosity, and patriarchal ideology on attitudes toward IPV. Based on literature related to these factors three hypotheses were developed to test by the 2013-Turkey Demographic and Health Survey which includes a sample of 8847 women. Findings from a number of logistic regression models demonstrate that participation in leisure activities decreases the acceptance of IPV. On the contrary, an increase in personal religiosity and women’s patriarchal beliefs enhances the justification of IPV among women. Among social-demographic characteristics, education and household wealth seem to be important factors preventing the approval of IPV. The findings of the study are discussed in the context of the social and cultural background of Turkey.

Özet

Kadınlara yönelik yakın partner şiddeti, dünya çapında önemli bir sosyal ve sağlık sorunudur ve bu şiddet türüne yönelik tutumlar bu konuyla ilgili olan önemli faktörlerden biridir. Bu nedenle, bu çalışmanın temel amacı, sosyal faaliyetlere katılım, dindarlık ve ataerkil ideoloji gibi faktörlerin kadına yönelik aile içi şiddete yönelik tutumlar üzerindeki etkisini incelemektir. Bu faktörlerle ilgili literatüre dayalı olarak, 8847 kadından oluşan bir örneklemi içeren 2013-Türkiye Nüfus ve Sağlık Araştırması kullanılmıştır ve bu ankete dayanarak test edilmek üzere üç hipotez geliştirilmiştir. Bir dizi lojistik regresyon modelinden elde edilen bulgular, boş zaman etkinliklerine katılımın kadına yönelik şiddetin kabulünü azalttığını göstermektedir. Tam tersine, kişisel dindarlığın ve kadınların ataerkil inançlarının artması, kadınlar arasında kadına yönelik şiddetin meşruiyetini artırmaktadır. Bunlara ek olarak, sosyo-demografik özelliklerden eğitim ve hane halkı zenginliği, kadına yönelik şiddetin onaylanmasını engelleyen önemli faktörler olarak görünmektedir. Çalışmanın bulguları Türkiye'nin sosyal ve kültürel zemini bağlamında tartışılmıştır.
