Feminist scholars have argued that husband gender traditionalism is one of the root causes of spousal violence against women. Using couple-level data from Hong Kong ( N = 871 couples), this article argues that a second mechanism-couple gender value mismatch-also explains husband-to-wife physical assault. Our findings show that a husband's gender traditionalism is positively associated with husband-to-wife physical assault only when the husband is coupled with a wife who has non-traditional gender attitudes. Similarly, egalitarian gender attitudes in wives are positively associated with husband-to-wife physical assault only when a non-traditional wife is coupled with a traditional husband.
女权主义学者认为,丈夫的性别传统主义是对妇女配偶暴力的根源之一。本文利用香港的夫妻层面数据(N = 871对夫妻),认为另一种机制——夫妻性别价值观不匹配——也能解释丈夫对妻子的身体攻击行为。我们的研究结果表明,只有当丈夫与具有非传统性别态度的妻子结合时,丈夫的性别传统主义才与丈夫对妻子的身体攻击行为呈正相关。同样,只有当非传统的妻子与传统的丈夫结合时,妻子的平等主义性别态度才与丈夫对妻子的身体攻击行为呈正相关。
