A Multifactorial Experimental Design Examining Attributions of Injury and Victim Culpability in Intimate Partner Violence
Prior research has shown that participants view different forms of intimate partner violence (IPV) differently based on gender-composition (Carlson, 1999; Gaskins, 2013). Various theories have attempted to explain this, but none have been able to accommodate all of the findings. The current study se...

| Summary: | Prior research has shown that participants view different forms of intimate partner violence (IPV) differently based on gender-composition (Carlson, 1999; Gaskins, 2013). Various theories have attempted to explain this, but none have been able to accommodate all of the findings. The current study seeks to comparatively examine the competing theories through a factorial vignette methodology, with a focus on the influence of sex, body-size, and violence severity. Multivariate multilevel modeling was used for our analyses. Our results suggest that violence severity appears to be one of the primary influences on evaluations of victim culpability and perceived injury, attenuating the effects of sex. |
