Abstract

There are several theoretical approaches to understanding predictors of intimate partner violence [IPV] perpetrated against women globally. Economic theoretical approaches are increasingly employed to understand why some women are at higher risk of experiencing IPV and/or why some men are more likely to perpetrate IPV. We conducted a systematic review of all theoretical approaches to predictors of IPV, and present in this analysis a descriptive narrative synthesis of economic theories, as well as a description of how economic theories operationalize and measure key concepts in IPV research. The 53 included articles addressed predictors of IPV through resource theory, bargaining theory, exchange theory, empowerment theory, game theory, the theory of male backlash and the theory of status inconsistency. Of the 42 studies that included quantitative empirical data, 24 focused on low- and middle-income countries. Empirical evidence from studies presented a range of findings, with some support for economic theories of predictors of IPV and some data that contradicts these theories. Measurement of key variables to test economic theories varied, and while some central variables – such as income level, employment status and education status – were used across studies, many used differing response variables and/or differing ways to categorize differences between men and women, resulting in limited comparability between studies. Economic theories are often combined with feminist theories, addressing concerns that economic approaches are gender-blind and integrating more nuanced analysis of power within these studies. Key assumptions of economic theories, including opportunity to exit a relationship and concepts of ‘investment’ within a marriage and/or in children, require further interrogation.

通过经济理论解释亲密伴侣间的暴力行为:系统回顾与叙事综述
有几种理论方法可用于理解全球范围内针对妇女实施的亲密伴侣暴力的预测因素。人们越来越多地采用经济理论方法来理解为什么一些女性遭受 IPV 的风险更高,以及/或者为什么一些男性更有可能实施 IPV。我们对所有预测 IPV 的理论方法进行了系统性综述,并在本分析报告中对经济理论进行了描述性叙述综述,同时描述了经济理论如何操作和衡量 IPV 研究中的关键概念。收录的 53 篇文章通过资源理论、讨价还价理论、交换理论、赋权理论、博弈理论、男性反弹理论和地位不一致理论探讨了 IPV 的预测因素。在 42 项包含定量经验数据的研究中,有 24 项侧重于中低收入国家。各项研究的经验证据显示了一系列不同的结论,其中一些支持关于预测 IPV 的经济理论,而一些数据则与这些理论相矛盾。用于检验经济理论的关键变量的测量方法各不相同,虽然一些核心变量--如收入水平、就业状况和教育状况--在各项研究中都有使用,但许多研究使用了不同的响应变量和/或不同的方法来划分男女之间的差异,导致研究之间的可比性有限。经济理论通常与女权主义理论相结合,以消除人们对经济方法无视性别差异的担忧,并在这些研究中对权力进行更细致的分析。经济理论的关键假设,包括退出关系的机会以及婚姻和/或子女 "投资 "的概念,都需要进一步探讨。

期刊介绍: Aggression and Violent Behavior, A Review Journal is a multidisciplinary journal that publishes substantive and integrative reviews, as well as summary reports of innovative ongoing clinical research programs on a wide range of topics germane to the field of aggression and violent behavior. Papers encompass a large variety of issues, populations, and domains, including homicide (serial, spree, and mass murder: sexual homicide), sexual deviance and assault (rape, serial rape, child molestation, paraphilias), child and youth violence (firesetting, gang violence, juvenile sexual offending), family violence (child physical and sexual abuse, child neglect, incest, spouse and elder abuse), genetic predispositions, and the physiological basis of aggression.
