亲密关系暴力:男性与女性谁更具攻击性--国外相关研究评述

国外研究者对亲密关系暴力中男女的攻击性差异持两种不同的观点并由此产生了持续的争论。以女权主义研究者为代表的观点认为男性比女性更具攻击性;以家庭冲突研究者为代表的观点认为女性的攻击性与男性一样甚至比男性的更强。本文分析了争论产生的原因:样本类型和对攻击概念的界定不同,测量工具的局限性以及两性对暴力攻击存在的知觉差异和报告差异。相信对这些问题的探讨有助于我国对两性与暴力问题的研究。

Violence in Close Relationship:Who Is More Offensive, Men or Women--A Review of Related Studies Abroad

Researchers abroad hold two differing views on the difference in offensiveness between men and women in intimate-relations violence, thus giving rise to sustained disputes. Feminist researchers hold that men are more offensive than women, while domestic-conflict researchers maintain that women are as offensive as, or even more so than, men. This paper analyses the causes of the controversy: the difference in the types of samples and the definition of the concept of offensiveness, the limitation of survey tools, and the difference in violence awareness between men and women. The authors hope that the discussion of these issues will be conducive to the research on the question of genders and violence.
