Abstract: (52 Views)
Background: Violence against women is considered a global crisis, of which domestic violence is the most common form and brings many social, psychological, and economic consequences for women in the form of battered women syndrome.
Aims: The primary objective of this study is to discern the determinants of domestic violence and the emergence of battered women syndrome, while also constructing and validating a measurement scale for these factors.
Methods: The study was applied in nature, utilizing a mixed-methods approach—incorporating both quantitative and qualitative methods—while conducting field-based data collection. The qualitative segment involved interviews with family experts, while the quantitative part focused on women aged 25 to 65 seeking assistance at counseling centers and family courts in Mashhad. The sample for the qualitative analysis included 13 experts, whereas 384 women participated in the quantitative phase. The data were analyzed using MaxQDA software for qualitative insights and descriptive statistics for quantitative data. Reliability, as well as convergent and divergent validity (AVE), were calculated in the qualitative section.
Results: This research was applied in terms of purpose and mixed (quantitative-qualitative) data collection method. The statistical population in the qualitative part was family experts and in the quantitative part, women aged 25 to 65 were referred to counseling centers and family courts in Mashhad. The statistical sample in the first part was 13 experts and in the second part 386 women. After classification and summarization, qualitative data analysis was done with MaxQDA software, and quantitative data was done with SPSS and PLS software.
Conclusion: Based on the findings of this article, individual factors that are rooted in the previous development of couples (before marriage) can have the greatest impact on domestic violence against women, therefore paying attention to the needed development before marriage can largely prevent its occurrence. Also, the questionnaire designed in the present study is considered a suitable tool for measuring the level of domestic violence against women.
