The study identifies predictors of women's remaining entangled in abusive relationships. The sample includes 57 women in one Vietnamese American enclave. Women's beliefs in maintaining an intact family, patriarchal decision making, and fear of their partners characterized women remaining. To a lesser extent, seeking help from a variety of places characterized women who escaped, and concern with achieving important goals, number of children, financial dependence, lack of support, and legal marriage characterized women who remained. Discussion centers on how social and legal services can meet the unique needs of women with circumstances similar to those who participated in the study.
该研究确定了女性在虐待关系中仍深陷其中的预测因素。样本包括越南裔美国人聚居区的57名女性。那些仍处于关系中的女性的特点是，她们秉持维持完整家庭的信念、认同父权制决策以及害怕伴侣。在较小程度上，从各种渠道寻求帮助是逃脱虐待关系的女性的特点，而关注实现重要目标、孩子数量、经济依赖、缺乏支持以及合法婚姻则是仍处于关系中的女性的特点。讨论聚焦于社会和法律服务如何能够满足与参与该研究的女性情况相似的女性的独特需求。
