The aim of this study was to examine the factors related to different patterns of male violence against women. To accomplish this goal, information from the National Survey of Families and Households Waves 1 and 2 was used to examine both situational and individual characteristics associated with moving into and out of violent relationships.
Much of the research on violence against women uses a unidimensional theoretical framework. In contrast, the current study used a multidimensional framework encompassing both intra-individual and sociocultural perspectives. Guided by these theoretical frameworks, this project focused on the relationship between previously established risk factors for intimate partner violence including stressors related to work, economic status, and role transitions (e.g. pregnancy), as well as family power dynamics, status discrepancies, and alcohol use and violence against women. Many of these areas have been previously examined using cross sectional data. Using the two waves of the NSFH, however, made it possible to examine these areas as they are related to different patterns of male violence.
