Abstract: | A myriad of factors have been advanced to explain intimate violence. This study was undertaken to investigate the effects
on intimate violence of three specific concepts: threatened egoism, violence in the family of origin, and reciprocity. Self-report
questionnaires were administered to a randomly selected cluster sample of 423 participants, 147 males and 276 females. While
no support was found for threatened egoism, both violence witnessed in the family of origin and reciprocity were found to
significantly influence intimate violence. Analyses conducted separately for males and females indicated that these factors
operate differently based on gender. |
